What is an Assisted Living community?
Assisted living is a long-term care option for elders who need a level of assistance higher than that of a retirement community, but not as extensive as a medical or nursing home or hospital. It provides an independent lifestyle with customized assistance.
How does it differ from other levels of care?
Assisted Living is a unique combination independent living and care. Unlike nursing homes and other medical facilities, Assisted Living residences allow elders to maintain a sense of independence and are involved in a social community; while at the same time provide the assistance with daily life and peace of mind that comes with a professional support team.
Who is best suited for an Assisted Living community?
Assisted Living communities are suited for residents who need assistance in their daily lives, including preparing their meals, facilitating transportation, maintaining their homes, assisting with hygiene, and managing their medication. It’s also a good option for some residents living with disorders such as Alzheimer’s, as well as mobility limitations, incontinence, or other conditions common in one’s senior years.
What types of supplemental services do many Assisted Living communities offer?
While most Assisted Living communities have 24-hour supervision and meal services in common, a variety of additional quality of life services may be available in your residence of interest, according to the National Center for Assisted Living’s (NCAL) 2000 Survey of Assisted Living Facilities. In addition, supervision for persons with Alzheimer’s or other mental disabilities can usually be arranged.
What are the average accommodation sizes of Assisted Living residences?
The average Assisted Living residence is comprised of 30 beds and 23 residents, reports the 2000 NCAL survey. Of course, there is a wide variety in size and design; however, most residences are constructed in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
What types of living accommodations are provided?
Across the country, Assisted Living residencies vary in size, design, and accommodations. According to the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA), facilities can range from high-rise apartment complexes to converted homes, from a single room studio to a full apartment, from private to semi-private units. NCAL’s survey reports 25 percent of residences had kitchenettes, with 19 percent having full kitchens.
Typical amenities available in Assisted Living residences may include personal care assistance (bathing, toileting, dressing, eating), access to health care and medical services, on-site social and spiritual activities, recreation and exercise facilities, wellness programs, transportation arrangements, 24-hour security, laundry service, and housekeeping.
