Senior Living Options
Independent Living
Independent living is for people who want to and are able to live independently but do not want to maintain a home. Many people prefer to live in a community with others of the same age and with similar interests. An independent retirement community allows for a great deal of social activities and trips. Many independent living facilities also offer prepared meals and provide a wide range of amenities.
Assisted Living
Assisted living facilities are for
people needing assistance with activities of Daily Living but
wishing to live independently for as long as possible. Residents in
assisted living centers do not require constant care either but are
not able to live entirely by themselves. Help is available for daily
living activities such as eating, bathing, dressing, laundry,
housekeeping, and assistance with medications. Most facilities offer
supervision 24/7 and medical care. They also have an array of
support services, with more privacy, space, and dignity than many
nursing homes at a lower price. Assisted living is a great option
for seniors who need care with everyday living.
Most assisted living facilities create a service plan for each
individual resident upon admission.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities
Assisted living facilities are often connected with independent living residences and nursing homes. The combination is known as a continuing care retirement community. The resident can take advantage of the full range of services available and the ease of transfer to a different type of facility as his or her condition and needs change without needing to look for a new facility, relocate, or adapt to a new setting. For example, the resident may begin in the independent living residences, move to assisted living as he or she needs help with activities of daily living, and eventually move to the nursing home as ongoing care becomes necessary.
Alzheimers/Dementia Care
Alzheimers / Dementia facilities are specialized living arrangements for seniors with memory impairments that have progressed to the point where they can no longer communicate normally and/or take care of themselves. Besides a room and meals in a common dining area, these facilities provide constant supervision, formal nursing care plans, help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and personalized care designed to offer patients as much mental and memory stimulation as possible.
Home Care
Home care services are given to persons in need of medical, nursing, social, or therapeutic treatment. Services are offered to the disabled, terminally ill, or those recovering from a medical condition.
Skilled Nursing Care
Skilled Nursing care serves the needs of seniors with personalized medical care. Our skilled nursing facilities serve as rehabilitative environments following surgery or hospital stays, convalescent settings for individuals with temporary illnesses, and secure homes for those who require long-term supervised care.
