Understanding the Senior Living Community Options

The many choices for senior housing can be overwhelming. Some older adults are able to live out their retirement years playing golf and enjoying relatively few health problems. In contrast, others require assistance with their care needs which is often dictated by health and safety concerns.

The information below will provide you with some of the more common options available in today’s senior housing market. For more information, contact your local Always Best Care office today to help you make an educated decision about the right senior living option for you or your loved one.

Assisted Living

What Is Assisted Living?

Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters. Assisted living communities generally provide a home-like setting and are physically designed to promote the resident’s independence. Services are offered to assist residents with daily living. What “assisted living” means depends on both the state and provider in question. Variations in state regulatory definitions are significant and provider variables include everything from care provided to geographic location, organizational size, and structure.

Services Provided by Assisted Living Communities

Assisted living communities typically provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), coordination of services by outside health care providers, and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Assistance often includes the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services. The services offered by assisted living communities vary from facility to facility. Services often include:

  • One to three meals a day
  • Monitoring of medication
  • Personal care, including dressing and bathing
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • 24-hour emergency care
  • Some medical services
  • Social and recreational activities
  • Medical emergency response
  • Visitation policy

“Seeking honest, qualified, knowledgable caring caregivers, who have a passion for your elderly loved one is challenging. Our family was very fortunate to be directed to ABC through Hospice and the VA.. ABC has a contract with VA.. Our father was able to get the best care through his hospice journey and then graduating into palliative care, allowing him to remain in his own home and with his wife of 75 years. What could be better?! The consideration of the ‘team’ behind the scenes, working with the patients needs and the families wishes and concerns is superb. Joseph and Mo have become like family, sons to father and that is due to the character, interest, knowledgable and loving care they give him. We are blessed.”

“When in need of support for one of my clients who was not quite ready to move out from his home, Melanie, from Always Best Care, jumped in to assist and provided care to this gentleman at home. They took such great care and provided such an awesome and interactive environment, that my client was able to continue to stay at home. LOVED this company so much because of this example and so many more over the last year. Their commitment not only to their clients but to their staff is truly second to none. They have gone above and beyond on so many levels that I have now joined this team, as well. HIGHLY recommend Always Best Care for your home care or placement needs.”

“I am so grateful for the exceptional care my mother received from Always Best Care of Boerne. Ken, the owner, and Veronica, our appointment scheduler, were both wonderful from the very beginning. Veronica was fantastic—she was an incredibly effective and caring communicator. She kept me fully informed about caregiver schedules, promptly addressed any concerns about my mom, and even reached out to other family members when I wasn’t available. Her thoughtfulness and reliability made a stressful time so much easier to navigate. What touched our family most was how genuinely the caregivers cared—not only for my mom, but also for my dad, even though he was not under their care. Their compassion and kindness went above and beyond and gave us tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Always Best Care of Boerne to anyone looking for professional, compassionate in-home care. Thank you to Ken, Veronica, and the entire team for the wonderful support and dedication. We truly appreciate you.”

“I’ve been around the healthcare industry for a while, and I can honestly say I’ve never heard so many genuine praises from both employees and clients about a single company. That says a lot. This is what happens when a franchise owner is motivated by a true passion for caring for people and leads with heart. If you haven’t heard Darlene’s story and why she chose to open the Albuquerque branch, you owe it to yourself to discover it. Her mission and compassion are reflected in every part of the organization. If you’re looking for someone to care for your loved one, look no further. Your senior family members couldn’t be in better hands. The team at Always Best Care truly understands what compassionate, quality care looks like, and it shows every day.”

They don’t have to do a lot for him, but I just want someone there. I have been using them. It was recommended by a couple of other people. The caregiver is very good.

I feel comfortable with them, and they’re reliable. I would recommend them to other friends or family members.”

“I feel incredibly lucky to have found Always Best Care South Bay. We used a different agency when my father needed care, so I know firsthand how much agencies can vary. The difference has been night and day. Everyone at Always Best Care makes me feel like my mom and our family truly matter. Our social worker is absolutely wonderful. She is caring, trustworthy, responsive, and always willing to work with me. Most importantly, she makes me feel confident that my mom is being looked after by someone who genuinely cares about her well-being. We have also been so impressed with every caregiver they have sent. Each one has been a great match for my mom, and it’s obvious that they put thought and care into pairing caregivers with clients. The caregivers are kind, dependable, and treat my mom with patience and respect. Having a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be stressful and emotional, but Always Best Care has given me something priceless: peace of mind. I truly feel that my mother is in the best possible hands. I trust this team completely, and I am so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and support they provide every day. I highly recommend Always Best Care South Bay to any family looking for quality care for a loved one.”

FAQs About Senior Living Referral Services

FEMALE-CAREGIVER-MOBILE FEMALE CAREGIVER IN FLORAL DRESS SMILING

There are many choices for seniors to consider when it comes to finding a community that will best fit their needs.

Independent living communities are for adults, generally ages 55 and older, who don’t need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), but are looking for a living environment that offers additional support, onsite amenities and socializing opportunities and activities.
A continuing care retirement community (CCRCs) offers multiple options along the continuum of senior living housing and healthcare spectrum. Many CCRCs offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care all on one campus. If care needs change, residents can transition within the community to the proper care setting. In most cases, in-home care is also provided.

Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters.

Residential care communities for the elderly, sometimes referred to as board and care homes, are responsible for providing assisted living services to residents in a homelike and community setting, allowing them to maintain independence while continuing to receive nursing level of care as needed.

Memory care is a type of long-term care geared toward those living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive-degenerative dementia.

Nursing homes are senior living facilities that offer a high level of medical care. Like assisted living facilities, nursing homes have numerous amenities and help with basic activities. However, they also provide medication management and 24-hour supervision, leading to a more clinical environment as well as the highest level of care for individuals who don’t require hospitalization.

Always Best Care representatives can help match each client’s physical, emotional, and financial needs with the amenities and services of the local communities in your area. This is based on the use of comparative data that can help you determine the best option for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with the senior living communities in your area to gain extensive knowledge that is used to help seniors and their loved ones make an informed decision about the best option for them. This includes basic rent and care charges, services provided, and availability. Because Always Best Care is compensated by the communities, we provide senior living referral services that are provided at no charge to the client.

The transition into a senior living community can be a daunting task. Your spouse can play a huge role in your well-being. In many cases, especially assisted and independent living, spouses are certainly welcome to join their loved one. If this is something you are considering, it will be important to ask the community you are considering if your spouse is welcome to join you. Also, be sure to ask how costs are allocated for your spouse.

Moving into a senior community is based on when and how you and your family want to transition. While some seniors are more proactive in moving into independent living, others choose to remain home until they have care needs or other requirements that make moving into a senior living community the right decision.
