How to Find the Right Level of Care for You or Your Loved One
Do you or someone you love require additional living assistance?
There are options! Senior living has a variety of benefits for elderly adults who need aid. You can find different kinds of senior living arrangements, such as visiting-home nurses, assisted living communities, nursing homes, and independent living.
What is the most suitable option? The best fit depends on your unique needs.
Let’s explore two popular selections:
- Independent living
- Assisted living
When an older adult first needs extra care, one of these two options is ordinarily a good fit.
What is Independent Living?
Independent living is housing that is specialized for seniors 55 and over. The apartment, townhouse, or free-standing home is typically designed to be more convenient for older adults. Plus, the community, such as Pegasus Senior Living, takes care of maintenance and yard care.
Independent living communities, sometimes called retirement communities, are ideal for older adults who don’t need much extra help. These adults can perform their daily chores and don’t require daily medical attention.
Although tenants are independent, there are often community activities and other helpful services. For example, there may be entertainment, events, and social activities. Independent living may also offer on-site conveniences like laundry services or shops.
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is excellent for seniors who need assistance with everyday activities, but are in better health than those who require a nursing home.
Residents in assisted living care often have their own apartments. The apartment grants privacy and independence while also providing the healthcare and assistance that residents need. Tenants are provided services and support like medication, meals, and housekeeping.
Deciding Between Assisted Living or Independent Living?
Selecting assisted or independent living depends on needs. Some communities, like Pegasus Senior Living, offer both options.
When you decide between these two options, think about what your loved one requires right now and in the near future.
Consider personal necessities such as:
- Medical
- Hygienic
- Mobility
- Housekeeping
