The leader of the clan is Grampa--a cranky old geezer with a distinctive voice and gait--but underneath it all, he has a heart of gold. Living with him are his grandson, Luke, and Luke's bride, Kate. Due to the death of Luke's parents, these three adults are raising Luke's teenage sister, Hassie, and his younger brother, Little Luke.

In the world of television sitcoms, there are few shows that capture the essence of family dynamics and community spirit like Tyler Perry's Assisted Living.

The plot kicks off as Jeremy decides to move his family back to Georgia to lend a helping hand to his grandfather Vinny, played by J. Anthony Brown.

The rundown state of this assisted living home leads to comedic chaos as Jeremy and his family try to adapt to their new circumstances while dealing with Vinny's antics. Adding to the mix are Mr. Brown (David Mann) and Cora (Tamela Mann), who arrive just in time as investors ready to pitch in their own brand of humor and support.
