Senior Living Options and Levels of Care
While it’s fun to check out the bells and whistles of senior living, you’ll want to ensure your daily needs are met. Are you looking for a community that provides three meals each day? Ask what meals are included in the monthly fee. Have you given up driving and depend on others for transportation? If so, you’ll want to find out what transportation services are available to residents.
Many senior living communities offer a continuum of care where the changing needs of residents are met through a variety of services. Some common levels of care include independent living, assisted living, and memory care.
- Independent living – residents live independently but appreciate access to emergency response and numerous activities and amenities
- Assisted living – residents usually need some assistance with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, or medication management
- Memory care – residents typically require a safe, secure environment with specialized activities and 24-hour staffing
You’ll usually have a few different floor plans to choose from under each level of care. Living options vary from private studio apartments to two-bedroom luxury apartments or homes. You may also see one-bedroom apartments or shared suites.
