The population of aging adults
continues to grow and so does the demand for quality housing solutions and
services. To make it easier for people
to find senior housing that best meets their needs, the following is an
explanation of the terms you will come across while shopping for a new home for
you or your loved one.
One senior living option is referred
to as “independent living.” These are apartments or suites designed specifically
for older adults who want the advantages associated with senior living
communities, but do not require any assistance. While each community differs, services
may include light housekeeping and laundry as well as on-site beauty shops and spas,
exercise rooms and wellness classes. Some communities also provide emergency
response at night.
Another term used to describe senior
living is “assisted living.” This is
housing that is geared toward those who need various levels of assistance with
their daily activities. Generally a resident’s
needs are evaluated and agreed upon with the senior and their family. Assisted living communities provide daily
meals as well as around-the-clock care to ensure the safety and well-being of their
residents. Most facilities offer wellness
programs, social activities, housekeeping services, 24-hour care, scheduled
transportation and more.
Lastly another form of senior living
is “memory care” that is devoted to the specialized care of individuals
suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases. The best communities offer their residents comprehensive
care that includes recreational and purposeful activities, scheduled outings
and daily health monitoring.
