The right choice for those who need assistance with daily living. Assisted living provides more daily assistance to seniors, like help with taking medication, getting dressed in the morning, bathing, and so on. We offer a range of care services that can enhance quality of life and improve a senior’s health and safety. You won’t have to start the entire process over again searching for a trustworthy care provider. It may be confusing trying to figure out which care type is the right fit for your family. But this is not a task you need to figure out on your own. Our associates are ready to assist and are only a phone call away. Each one of our communities also performs a service assessment before a resident moves in, to determine the necessary care level. But you can familiarize yourself more with each care service through the pages below. Enjoy carefree living and leave the responsibility of home maintenance behind. Perfect for those who don’t need a lot of day-to-day assistance, this care level allows seniors to trade-in household chores, like cooking and cleaning, and live in a social and active community environment.

Give your loved one the opportunity to live comfortably and enjoy their own daily routine, with the confidence of safety and support through assisted living. We welcome you to a community where each resident is celebrated, cherished and connected.

During this time of transition, we make every effort to ease your loved one into a comfortable and enjoyable lifestyle, offering individually tailored personal care options to perfectly suit their needs and preferences. Their plans, interests and goals are our priority, and we’re ready to do everything we can to help them live life to the fullest.

Cost is a factor for most consumers. Be sure to ask whether the cost of care is included in the monthly rate. If it isn’t, it’s likely the costs of care are stratified into levels of care or the individual services are charged separately. Most assisted living facilities that stratify costs have three or four levels of care. A higher level of care will result in higher monthly payments. Sometimes services will be charged on an individual basis even when a pricing structure is in place for basic levels of care. These individually priced services are usually specialized; examples include incontinence care and medication management. Pricing structures that incorporate levels of care as well as à la carte services can be very complicated, so ask specific questions before signing an agreement.

Levels of care help facilities to simplify their pricing structures; once a resident requires a certain amount or kind of care, then the costs rise. This avoids a constant reassessment of costs every time a resident’s needs change. Levels of care are also convenient for the consumer: you know the pricing up front, and can avoid feeling “nickeled-and-dimed” every time a change occurs in care needs.

Although the components of each level of care vary from facility to facility, there are some basic guidelines. Many facilities use a point system to determine a resident’s required level of care. No cost-of-care fee applies if the resident is considered independent and doesn’t require any help. This can also apply to residents who only need verbal instructions to complete the activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents who do require care are assessed prior to moving into the facility.

You’re interested in exercising to improve your health, right? Many older adults are living with chronic conditions and activity limitations. If you fall in this group, ask your doctor for advice regarding what activities would be a good fit for someone with your unique health situation before starting a new fitness program. Physical therapists and fitness professionals can also be great resources. According to the World Health Organization, adults age 65 and older should aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week if they are able to do so. However, if you’ve been largely sedentary, start low and slow. Begin with short periods of a low-intensity activity like walking or swimming. Over time, you will probably discover that you can gradually increase your physical activity. While many older adults enjoy moderate exercise, it’s generally best to avoid high-intensity exercises because they carry an increased risk of injury.

If your exercise routine is fun, you are more likely to stick with it. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and choose activities that are appropriate, enjoyable, and available throughout the year. If you enjoy socializing, consider finding an exercise buddy, choosing a group activity, or attending a fitness class. Combining your exercise routine with social time just might help you stick with it. When making decisions regarding how to fit more fitness into your schedule, it also helps to consider the environment where you’ll be exercising. For example, seniors who enjoy walking should choose routes that feature smooth surfaces in safe areas with ample light and minimal traffic. Many seniors elect to walk in shopping malls because they offer safe environments, ever-changing sights, and the opportunity to socialize with like-minded exercisers.

We provides customized home health services to older adults in need of doctor-ordered care due to an injury or illness. Our warm, caring approach to home health is delivered by a team of highly-skilled nurses, therapists, social workers, and aides. For seniors at home or residing in a senior living community, medical and non-medical home care are options that provide a wide array of features and services. We focus on listening to your needs and partnering with you to provide the best care and treatment solutions.

As part of the process, family members also receive care and support – all provided by a team of specially trained professionals and volunteers. Bereavement services for family continue for one year after the patient has died.

Our hospice team partners with seniors and their families to customize an entire hospice care plan as it relates to the terminal illness. In short, our hospice team is responsible for knowing and understanding the full spectrum of the patient’s entire medical circumstances and its management and helping the senior and their family remain comfortable and well care throughout their hospice experience. Although hospice services can be provided on an intermittent basis, staff is available around the clock, seven days per week to address urgent needs. Hospice services are covered under Medicare, Medicaid and many private insurance plans.

You may not know which level of care you or your loved one needs. That’s not a problem. Our assisted living communities can do an assessment to determine the level of care needed for your situation. The primary differences in the nursing home vs assisted living facility debate are the level of medical care offered by the staff and the independence of the resident. Nursing homes offer more medical care and personal assistance but less freedom. Assisted living facilities, on the other hand, offer less medical care but emphasize residents’ independence. So before you make your choice, you need to figure out which services your loved one will need in their new residence.

Assisted living facilities usually offer some of the same services as nursing homes, like personal care assistance, laundry service, and prepared meals. However, the assisted living lifestyle is much more flexible and depends on the wants and needs of the resident. For example, dressing assistance might be available, but many residents will choose not to use it. Most importantly, residents have a lot of freedom. They aren’t closely monitored, but assistance is generally close by. These facilities tend to feel more home-like and less institutional. Also, remember that it’s possible that your loved one will need both facilities as the years go by. They might start out in an assisted living facility but transition to a nursing home when their physical or mental health suffers.

Our offerings are well rounded, expertly designed, and touch on different aspects related to senior health, so you can feel confident that we have the care available to meet your various needs.

Your health is our top priority, and we have programs in place to help you maintain and stay on top of your health. Here are some care services you’d likely find at our assisted living communities:

• A personalized service assessment and plan where we evaluate your individual needs and then create a custom care plan tailored to you
• Nursing services, which typically include a licensed nurse on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week
• Ongoing monitoring of residents’ health status
• Medication support
• Specialized intervention programs, such as nutrition tracking, weight management and falls management
• Short-term stay options for family members
• Respite care for individuals who are recovering from surgery or a recent hospitalization

One of the main reasons seniors transition to assisted living communities is because they need some level of personal assistance. Whether you need a lot or just a little assistance — we’ve got you covered. Some services may require additional costs. Please check at a local community for more information.
