Senior Care
Senior care involves the following services:
Assisted Living
An Assisted Living facility includes a set of long-term care services: a combination of housing, medical care services, and personal services.
It’s for individuals who need a certain level of assistance with Activities of Daily Life (ADLs).
Assisted Living varies according to the required services. This includes 24 hours of supervision and security, housekeeping services, extra-curricular activities, social services, and more. What is more, regular monitoring and medication management are also ensured.
Independent Living
Independent Living facilities offer seniors the option to live independently.
These residents do not need hands-on assistance with Activities of Daily Life (ADLs).
There are social activities within the community organized for the residents’ entertainment and well-being. Apart from social activities, Independent Living includes amenities like chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, maintenance, utility management, and more.
Memory Care
Memory Care facilities provide 24-hour supervision for patients with memory disorders. Those with severe levels of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory conditions may consider Memory Care.
Symptoms vary among individuals. Because of that, trained staff will cater the necessary care to the specific demands of patients.
Nursing Home
Nursing Homes are for those with severe physical or mental health conditions. These residents need 24-hour supervision and skilled care.
Nursing Home facilities provide medical services, rehabilitation, assistance with ADLs, and more.
Additionally, there is the assurance of medication and housekeeping along with transportation facilities.
Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)
CCRCs contain a combination of different senior living facilities in a single community.
It allows residents to move from one senior living type to another, depending on their health.
Senior care is a complete combination of all these services for seniors.
