📘 Understanding the Levels of Senior Care
Many people are surprised to learn that Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing Facilities are very different types of care. Knowing the distinctions can help families make informed decisions when planning for the future:
🏡 Independent Living – Best suited for older adults who are able to live on their own but prefer the convenience, safety, and social opportunities of a retirement community. Services often include housekeeping, meals, and recreational activities, but medical care is not provided.
💙 Assisted Living – Designed for seniors who value independence but need assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, medication management, or mobility. Communities like ours provide 24-hour staff support, meals, housekeeping, and engaging social programs.
👩⚕️ Skilled Nursing Facility (Nursing Home) – Appropriate for individuals who require 24/7 medical supervision and care from licensed nurses. This level of care often supports those recovering from surgery, managing chronic illness, or needing rehabilitation services.
