You Have Options
Depending on your needs, there are different kinds of senior care options available. These needs may change over time, and your care plan can be changed to better accommodate them.
Assisted Living
If you or your loved one needs extra support to prevent injury or manage an illness or chronic condition, it may be time to tour an assisted living facility near you. Assisted living is a great choice for seniors who can no longer safely live alone but who still want to maintain an active social life. When compared to a nursing home, an assisted living facility is a more social and communal environment. Learn More.
Memory Care
Specialized memory care environments are designed for older adults living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The supportive care services found here will include personal hygiene, medication assistance, and other ways to keep seniors content and engaged in a secure environment. There is a strong focus placed on routines featuring familiar social outings and structured activities, which have been proven to help with dementia and Alzheimer's. Learn More.
Nursing Home
A nursing home is the highest care environment for today's seniors that require the skilled nursing services of a physician, nurse, social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist or a respiratory therapist. These facilities are mostly paid for by Medicare and Medicaid. A nursing home is usually used more for a short term rehabilitation stay than as a long term care facilities option unless the senior is on a Medicaid program. Learn More.
Independent Living
An Independent Living Community for seniors is there for those who need more socialization than living alone at home. They don't require regular medical services, but they may need a little help around the house. Most independent living communities Nationwide provide personal senior apartments - with one or two bedrooms - along with their own full or partial kitchens and laundry rooms. Learn More.
Home Care
Since the majority of people want to stay in their homes for as long as possible, in-home care is a popular option. If a senior only needs help for a few hours a week—with, say, strenuous housework or running errands—they can age in place in the comfort of their own home with scheduled visits from home health aides. Seniors can be matched with a home caregiver who fits their personality, interests, and life values. Learn More.
