Assisted Living Explained
Manage episode 264600401 series 2710026
A long time ago Assisted Living meant a big institution. Today it is completely different. When you think about living at an Assisted Living home, it has all of the comforts of home and there's other people in that home. It's a group of 8, 10, to 12 seniors in a home with peers their own age, living in that home together. It’s a community. Having a community of people to be with is incredibly important. It's not just your physical health, it's your mental health, your attitude.
Assisted Living is for when somebody has an event, they move into Assisted Living after that event where they need additional help or monitoring. They need help with their medication, bathing, feeding or whatever it may be. They move there because they have to. And it's a home setting and that's specifically what we do with residential assisted living.
Let's face it, we're all going to pass away. The question is when, not if. The family will come and they'll spend the last few days saying their goodbyes. 9 times out of 10, they pass away in the middle of the night. The opportunity to care for them and share with other people during that time is incredibly powerful. The families are thankful that we were there to take care of their family member all during that time.
