Does your love one require assistance with support services such as meals, medication distribution, bathing, dressing, and transportation? If you answered yes to any of the services mentioned then Assisted Living may be the right level of care for your loved one.
Assisted Living Communities are specially designed for residents that need more day-to-day care than independent living. In these communities residents receive access to dining, entertainment, housekeeping, laundry, and apartment maintenance to help provide a safe and worry-free life. In addition, caregivers in these communities provide attention and assistance with bathing, dressing, medical support and additional daily tasks.
Accommodation options will vary widely depending on the community.
The benefits of assisted living communities are the knowledge that your loved one is receiving daily care in their activities throughout the day while promoting maximum independence. This level of care is perfect for residents who desire opportunities to socialize with scheduled events, while having the reassurance that someone is around for any assistance needed.
