Assisted Living vs. Nursing Home - Which One is Right for Your Loved One
Summary • At some point in your life, you realize that your loved one has reached the point where they need more care than you can give. As life keeps adding responsibilities on your shoulders, it becomes less feasible for you to let your elders live where there is no assurance of safety. • If you are residing in Rochester Hills, the hardest question to face when wanting to help an elderly loved one in need is Assisted Living or Nursing Home. If you are confused about which one to go with, don’t panic, we are going to break down the differences between them.
Assisted Living: • An assisted living facility gives residents control over the amount of care they will receive which gives them a relative level of independence. Assistance is provided when needed, but a more independent option is also available. • From exercise classes to holiday celebrations and small trips to local museums, seniors can count on varied options to socialize with other residents and live a busy, joyful life. • If residents ever get into any emergency situation, the assisted living facility always has staff ready to provide emergency care as the need arises. • Many of the assisted care facilities accept government aids which make them accessible to residents of all income groups.
Nursing Home Care: • Full time care in nursing homes is provided if the patient needs more individualized care, however it can be overwhelming for residents who do not require such a high level of attention. • As assisted living facilities enable patients to make their own schedule as per their comfort, nursing homes take away their freedom as residents have to adjust to a pre-planned lifestyle. • Since nursing homes offer one-on-one care to the residents, they can be quite costly. • Residents who can take care of themselves have to follow the structured schedule instead of independently customizing the schedule according to their lifestyle. The level of independence is quite limited in nursing homes.
If you’re still confused on whether you should go for Rochester Hills Assisted Living or Nursing Homes then you can discuss with your doctor which one would be the best choice for your senior loved one. • Getting your loved one the level of care they need will make their future easier and safer too, even if it does not look that way to them initially. Research the facility in your surrounding area that best fits the senior’s personality and personal preferences. Kick start your search today so that your loved one’s future remain in safe and secure hands.
