Understanding Your Hospital Bill

When the health needs of your loved one become challenging to handle at home, an assisted living facility can empower him/her to live self-sufficiently with the assurance of receiving assistance when required. Assisted care facilities deliver long-term care to individuals who do not need nursing care but who may struggle to live on their own.

You can choose from two types of assisted care: personal care homes and assisted living facilities. A personal care home is an excellent setting for individuals who need minimal to moderate assistance with daily activities. Your loved one will share a residential space with one or more individuals, have meals cooked for him/her, and get help with laundry and other tasks. The assistance may be provided by a caregiver or family.

An assisted living facility is a housing facility in a community setting that provides your loved one assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and monitors his/ her health. It may have care wards serving Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. The basic services you can expect at an assisted living facility include: • Daily meals • Housekeeping • Laundry • Transportation • Access to medical services

• Health and exercise programs • Social programs • Security Your loved one will receive assistance with bathing, getting dressed and using the bathroom. The caregiver will ensure that he/she takes her medication on time. Emergency communication systems at assisted living communities promote resident safety and satisfaction. The goal of assisted living residences is to address the needs of all its residents in the best possible way. Once your loved one moves in, assisted care professionals will understand his/her requirements to chart a customized service plan. Extra services may also be provided in the future as needs change.

There’s a lot to love here.

Sometimes innovation is about seeing the world in a new way, not looking at a screen. At Brookdale, we are changing perceptions of aging. Actually, we’re doing more than that. We’re celebrating aging by redefining what it means to live well. But, of course, our residents use cool technology, too, like tablets, social media and video-chatting to connect with family and friends.
