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

“While in the hospital, my grandma’s social worker recommended that I contact Always Best Care for assistance. They came highly recommended as they have helped many of their patients get discharged safelyj back home. We immediately contacted the office and their care manager came to visit my grandma, mom and me at the hospital within 1 hour. Their response time was amazing. We discussed several options on immediate care at home upon discharge, as well as developing and long term plan. What I really like about our care manager is his honesty and integrity. I appreciate that they’re not one to just tell me what I want to hear and will never over promise anything. Their service has been outstanding. Thank you so much!!!”

“Always Best Care has been caring for both of my parents for the last month and they have been great. My mom has dementia and my dad is bed-bound. We were previously using another agency but found out that they have been sending unqualified caregivers who are untrained and non-nurse aides. ABC only sends the most experience nurse aides and CNAs to assist my parents. They do extensive background checks, tests and are vaccinated. I don’t know what we’d do without them. If the need arises, we can rest-assured that they can also help us find a care home to move my parents in to at no charge. Thank you so much to the entire team at ABC. You have been wonderful.”

“I had very positive experiences with Always best care when I needed in home care for a family member. What I like about this company is that I was able to talk to someone anytime of day. If I just thought of something to add or noticed a change in my Great-Aunt’s health, I could text or email or call and someone was always by the phone to answer I was surprised even late night no matter.”

“I have worked for Always Best Care for 5 months now and I could not feel more happy and in love with what I do. The training from the start and learning new things to better my clerical skills has been great and it’s awesome when the owner of the company takes the time to get to know the staff and interact with caregivers and is flexible with everyone’s schedule.

“Always Best Care came highly recommended by a couple of my friends who also needed care. From the moment I met the owner Tyler, I knew that I would be able to welcome them into my home. The entire ohana at ABC makes me feel so comfortable working with them. And the caregivers… what can I say. They are so caring, skilled and experienced. The company is more than willing to provide the necessary credentials for all of their caregivers. They are all trained nurse aides and CNAs. They are the true definition of the aloha spirit. Thank you Always Best Care for always striving for excellence.”

TESTIMONIALS

“Always Best Care came highly recommended by the Skilled Nursing Facility my husband was staying at for the last 6 months. He needed a lot of care after getting discharged to our home in Kaimuki. All of the caregivers that have been providing care for my husband have been so reliable and knowledgeable. ABC only provides nurse aides and CNAs with the proper state of Hawaii approved training and certifications. Since my husband requires a high level of care, they told us that only nurse aides who complete state approved training are allowed to assist with his bathing, toileting, walking, etc. Regular companionship caregivers are not allowed to do this. This is very important to know when choosing the right agency to work with. I was told to always check for proper credentials when allowing a caregiver into my home. Mahalo nui Always Best Care for taking care of our family. I can be at ease while I’m at work, knowing dad is in good hands with your caregivers.”

FAQs About Senior Living Referral Services

Female-Caregiver-Mobile Female-Caregiver-Desktop

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.
