Understanding home options
Understanding the varying levels of senior care is key to evaluating what type of home is the right choice for your family member.
independent living
Who is it right for?
Senior independent living communities are designed for older adults who are active, healthy, and capable of managing their daily lives without the need for personal or medical care. These communities provide a low-maintenance lifestyle, offering services such as housekeeping, landscaping, meal options, and transportation, so seniors can focus on enjoying their retirement years.
independent livng, assisted, or memory care?
Unlike assisted living or memory care, independent living does not include help with daily activities or medical care, making it best suited for older adults who are self-sufficient but looking to simplify their lifestyle and connect with a community of peers. Families seeking independent living options can rest assured that their loved one will enjoy an active, worry-free environment tailored to their interests and needs.
assisted living
What is assisted living?
Assisted living is a type of long-term care designed to support older adults who need help with daily activities but wish to maintain a sense of independence in a safe and comfortable environment.
It is ideal for seniors who do not require the extensive medical care provided by nursing homes but still need assistance with tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication management, meal preparation, and mobility
What can you expect?
Assisted living communities typically offer private or semi-private living spaces, personalized care plans, and a variety of amenities such as home-cooked meals, housekeeping, and recreational activities.
For families, assisted living offers peace of mind, knowing that their loved one is cared for by trained staff 24/7.
dementia / memory care
A dementia and memory care home is a specialized type of senior living community designed to meet the unique needs of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other memory-related conditions. While similar to assisted living in providing help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, memory care homes offer enhanced care and tailored programs focused on improving quality of life for residents with cognitive impairments.
