Caregivers should understand the term least restrictive setting when considering possible future living situations for the elderly loved ones in their care. The least restrictive setting is defined as the one where the aging individual maintains the most independence.

Unfortunately, even those seniors in amazing health can still slip and break a hip getting out of the shower. Moving to an assisted living community can provide you with the security and peace of mind that someone will always be there to help you if something happens.

Assisted living facilities offer the chance to participate in exercise classes that are crucial for seniors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says seniors benefit more from exercise than younger people because they face a higher risk of difficulties that can be prevented, in many cases, with regular exercise.

If you feel caught in the middle, you’re not alone. Half of all middle-aged adults provide some type of parental care while still raising their own children. An assisted living residence reduces your caretaking responsibilities and provides a secure place for your parents to live.

Do you have a parent or loved one who is in good shape but is beginning to forget to take medications and to miss appointments? Assisted living facilities are designed to offer that help for otherwise healthy and independent seniors.

The decision to move an aging parent from their home into an assisted living community is never an easy one. However, it is often essential to their well-being. We will welcome your loved one into their new community and make them feel like part of our family.
