Assisted Living
Assisted living communities are a great option for seniors who would like to remain independent for as long as possible but may require some assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Assisted living facilities are in a home-like setting and provide services like housekeeping, meal service, medication assistance, and transportation. They provide the benefit of 24 hour staffing and recreational activities for their residents.
Memory Care
Memory care is a specialized type of long-term care designed for individuals diagnosed with various types of dementia or memory loss conditions. Memory care provides residents with structure and a predictable schedule that reduces the stress associated with daily activities. Caregivers are trained to accommodate the unique dynamics of caring for dementia or Alzheimer’s residents. Memory care facilities usually have more staff on call to assist residents and ensure their safety. It’s not uncommon for assisted living communities to offer memory care as a level of service. There are also communities solely dedicated to serving residents with memory care conditions.
Nursing Home
Nursing homes offer a wide range of health services to residents and are more capable of providing higher levels of medical care. They provide round-the-clock care from skilled medical professionals specific to your health needs. Nursing homes may be needed for those who have experienced a fall, or for those who have had a heart attack or stroke. Nurses are on-site to assist residents during their recovery. Most nursing home residents stay long-term for ongoing physical limitations or health conditions that require the need for continuous care.
Hospice Care
Hospice care is for terminally ill patients and focuses on providing comfort and easing the individual’s pain. Hospice care typically begins when the patient no longer has the option to receive curative treatments. It addresses physical, medical and emotional needs and lasts for the remainder of the patient’s life. Hospice care is provided in the environment that is most comfortable for the patient which is why many choose care in their own homes. Hospice care can also come to assisted living facilities or nursing homes if that is where the patient resides.
