Assisted Living Provides Support for Daily Care Activities
Many people mistakenly assume that “assisted
living” is just another term for nursing homes.
In fact, nursing homes are intended for people that require long-term,
around-the-clock medical care and supervision and should not be confused with
assisted living, which provides residents support for daily care activities. At an assisted
living community, you will receive the care you need to
live comfortably and safely while still retaining your privacy and as much
independence as possible.
Assisted living is ideal for anyone who
does not require 24-hour skilled medical care but rather just needs more personal care than they can get at home
or at an independent living retirement community. Meals and transportation are provided, and if
needed, residents can get help with activities such as showering, dressing,
and etc. For the family, they rest easy
knowing that a trained, caring staff is available to help whenever a loved one
needs it.
Many assisted living communities offer
the privacy
of individual suites, while also providing their residents with
the security and safety of 24-hour support and quick access to care. In addition communities generally provide
residents the opportunity to participate in social and recreation activities
along with wellness programs. Residents usually
eat their meals in a communal dining room and have housekeeping and laundry
services available.
