Senior Living Option Descriptions

Our decisions about where we live can change throughout the different stages of our lives. We, oftentimes, have small starter homes and, as children come along, larger homes are purchased to accommodate our growing families. After children leave the nest, some choose to remain in the home, while others decide to downsize, once again.

Whether we’re independent active Seniors, or, in need of assistance...we’re fortunate, today, to have many types of living options to choose from, to meet our changing wants and needs.

Aging in Place is staying in the home you live in. And, if needs arise, those needs are met by hiring outside assistance. Assistance can include home making assistance, transportation, personal care and skilled medical care. Frequency and duration of assistance varies by situation and can range from weekly visits to live-in assistance. Hospice can be available to assist the terminally ill.

Short-term live-in centers that offer rehabilitation services to help recovery from an injury, illness or surgery.

An Assisted Living Residence is a fulltime residence for adults that do not need ongoing skilled nursing care but require ongoing assistance with everyday tasks, such as dressing, bathing and eating.

This is the choice of many active Seniors that choose to downsize. Senior Living Communities are age-restricted, usually to those 50 or 55+, and consist of low-maintenance apartments, homes or villas, attached or detached, where residents can care for themselves, completely, without assistance.

Temporary care for a dependent, outside of the home, providing a short-term break for family caregivers at home.

Full-time residences that offer private or semi-private rooms, medical care and rehabilitation, meals, activities and programs.

Live-in residences that offer a safe & secure setting and therapies and programs that allow those with Alzheimer’s Disease, or other memory-related conditions, to live life to their fullest.
