Independent Living
When you need help caring for your loved one or helping them make the transition into their golden years, assisted living communities and long term care homes aren't the only senior care choices available to you. Simply put, an independent living community for seniors is there for those who need hospitality services and require a supportive environment. They don't require regular medical services, but they may need a little help around the house.
Assisted Living
Assisted living communities support those that require hospitality services and assistance with daily activities (ADL).
Memory Care
What is memory care? An Alzheimer's & dementia memory care community is for people with middle to late stage memory conditions. Often located within a Retirement Community or as a stand alone offer specialized support for those living with dementia. They may also have the actual building set up to enhance memory functions and to decrease potential confusion for memory care residents. These secure environments often have additional safety features and clearly designated walking paths.
Home Care
There are two types of senior in-home care services: in-home care and home health care. In-home care includes non-clinical services with trained caregivers, and home health care provides clinical or skilled personal care by licensed nurses and therapists. Older adults can be matched with a professional caregiver who fits their personality, interests, and life values.
Long Term Care
A long term care home is the highest care environment for today's seniors who require 24 hour skilled nursing services of a physician, nurse, social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or respiratory therapist. People needing long term care are assessed and deemed eligible by social service agencies run by the province. Residents can also find ample opportunities for rest and recovery, ensuring a balanced approach to their care.
