Recently, my 84 year old mother rapidly declined in health requiring in-home care upon release from a lengthy hospital/rehab stay. Fortunately, Joshua's advice and recommendations for in-home care were very valuable to our family - we've selected a provider Joshua recommended and we've been very pleased.

Independent Community

Independent Living is a popular choice for seniors transitioning to a community-based lifestyle. The communities are typically apartments designed with seniors in mind, offering basic amenities such as a full kitchen and washer/dryer, as well as accommodations for those with mobility challenges.

In addition to these amenities, IL communities provide services such as meals, transportation, housekeeping, and a range of lifestyle activities, making it a comprehensive solution for seniors.

Assisted Living

Assisted Living, also known as Assisted Living Facility, offers a similar presentation to Independent Living communities but with the added benefit of 24/7 care staff assistance.

Assisted Living is the perfect option for seniors who need daily assistance, it provides homey apartments with similar amenities as Independent Living communities, including smaller apartments designed for reduced mobility. It’s also regulated as healthcare facilities by the state’s department of health, ensuring a safety net for both residents and their families.

Memory Care

Memory Care Communities, specialized facilities for the care of individuals with cognitive deficits such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, offer a secure and specialized environment for seniors with memory loss.

They provide similar basic amenities as assisted living communities, but in a smaller, more secure setting. It’s important to note that memory care is not always necessary and can be avoided by understanding the specific needs of your loved one and evaluating alternatives such as assisted living. Memory Care Communities offers peace of mind with specialized teams, a secured environment, higher staffing ratios and daily cognitive exercises for memory enhancement.

Nursing Home

When it comes to senior living options, Nursing Homes, also known as Skilled Nursing Facilities, provide the most comprehensive and critical level of long-term care for elderly individuals.

These facilities are typically necessary when a senior’s needs exceed the capabilities of other senior living communities and require constant medical care and monitoring. However, in many cases, a nursing home can be avoided by carefully evaluating the senior’s needs and planning ahead.
