Frequently asked questions
What is an Assisted Living community?
Assisted living is a housing option designed for seniors who require a higher level of assistance than what a retirement community offers, yet not as extensive as a nursing home or hospital. It provides a supportive and safe environment for seniors to maintain their independence.
How does it differ from other levels of care?
Unlike nursing homes and medical facilities, Assisted Living communities prioritize preserving seniors’ independence while ensuring a safe and supportive environment. This means residents can receive assistance with daily activities while enjoying a certain level of autonomy.
Who Qualifies for Assisted Living?
Assisted Living communities are suitable for individuals who need help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. They also cater to those suffering from memory issues like Alzheimer’s or dementia-related illnesses.
What amenities are typically available?
Assisted Living residences offer a range of amenities, including personal care assistance, access to healthcare and medical services, social and spiritual activities, transportation options, 24-hour support, laundry service, and housekeeping.
How important is it to find out about a community’s philosophy of care?
It is crucial. Choosing an Assisted Living or Memory Care residence is a significant decision. Residents have rights and responsibilities. Compare communities based on unit availability, services, costs, and their overall philosophy of care. Take tours to observe the atmosphere and ensure that your individual needs will be met.
Do I need an Advance Directive?
Yes, many residents move into assisted living because they require assistance with medication management. A resident’s ability to self-administer is determined during the admissions process.
Will an assisted living community provide me with transportation to my doctor’s appointments?
Transportation availability varies by facility. Transportation to and from medical appointments can often be arranged.
What's the difference between large facilities & small home facilities?
Small home communities offer community dining, snacks, personalized care, and so much more.
