What is an Assisted Living Home? And, Why should your choose one?

Assisted living homes are options for senior living that offer a community experience and a home in a private apartment, especially for senior citizens who choose to live independently and age with dignity. They have minimal requirements of care and access to services such as catering, housekeeping, maintenance, laundry and other day-to-day requirements of daily living. Help is at hand for activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming and toilet assistance. Assisted living homes also provide medical assistance on a regular basis. The residents have an active lifestyle with amenities, games, recreation, dining, transportation and medical assistance. These homes are created for elderly people to live independently in a safe and joyful environment.

How much does assisted living cost?

Since each assisted living model has their own unique pricing based on services and facilities, comparing them on cost may not be the right way to go about. Some homes may cost more due to the extra amenities and additional care required. We will help you to analyse and recommend the most appropriate assisted living home of your choice based on your requirements and budget. We have an in-depth understanding of how their fees are structured, additional costs if any and the care services provided that will help you to compare the options and take an informed decision.

Why is assisted living the right choice for seniors?

Assisted living homes provide a safe and joyous environment for elderly individuals or couples. They are equipped with safety measures that elderly people need thereby facilitating their accessibility and mobility with independence. At home you may need to make certain modifications to accommodate them in a safe setting and provide timely assistance to them whenever required.

Life at home could also be lonely for the elderly leading to depression, irritation and isolation. At an assisted living facility, they get an opportunity to live with others of their kind, engage in various activities and socialise with like-minded people making their everyday living an invigorating experience. 

Monitoring Nutrition, Health and Well-being: Diet and nutrition play a prominent role in the overall health and well-being of an individual. Lack of sunlight, nutrition intake and sedentary lifestyle could lead to many ailments and other serious medical conditions. In an assisted living set-up there are professionals to address these requirements ensuring that every resident is engaged in some physical activity with the right amount of nutrition intake. 

Who can opt for Assisted Living Homes?

Seniors who no longer prefer to live by themselves and need assistance for their daily activities and someone to monitor their health conditions and medications may opt for assisted living homes. They are in good health and would not need comprehensive care services as provided in a nursing home.
