What to Consider About Assisted Living in Warrensburg
Warrensburg, Missouri, is known as the birthplace of the popular expression man's best friend, which originated during a well-publicized court trial involving a beloved dog. Now a university town with 20,262 residents, Warrensburg has three assisted living facilities to support the 10% of its population who are aged 65 years and older and who may need help with activities of daily living.
In Warrensburg, as throughout the entire state of Missouri, these facilities are indeed officially known as Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs). They are administered by the Department of Health and Senior Services.
