Who Needs Senior Housing Solutions In Central Ohio?
The phrase “senior housing solution” suggests there’s a problem that needs solving, but for many seniors there is no problem. First, not all seniors need care; many can look after themselves just fine. Regardless, many elderly Ohioans will need care eventually, so where’s the best place for them to receive that care?
Where Can You Go?
Whether you’re a senior living in Central Ohio, have an elderly loved one living in the region, or you’d like to move your elderly parents to Central Ohio to be closer to you, the good news is you have lots of options. The bad news is that it’s difficult to know which option is best for you and your family. When researching your options, you might come across some unfamiliar terms.
What’s a “long-term care center”? What’s a “senior living facility”? What’s an “assisted living community”? Are these all the same things? Are they all different? Here are the different types of senior care communities in Central Ohio:
Assisted Living Communities
Assisted living is a type of care that emphasizes the independence of the clients. If your elderly loved one needs some help but can still manage their own life, then assisted living is a great option. In these communities, the staff can take care of chores, make life convenient for the residents, and provide them with personal care. But for the rest of the time, the residents are free to live their own lives.
Retirement Homes
Also called independent living communities, these centers offer convenient places for seniors to live and interact with one another. However, the staff won’t provide care to the residents. Always Best Care of North Columbus can assign a caregiver to provide personal care to residents of retirement homes.
Nursing Homes
Nursing homes are for people who have high-level needs. The residents here typically don’t manage their own lives like those in assisted living communities do.
Memory Care Homes
Also called Alzheimer’s and dementia care centers, these facilities are for people who have memory issues. Residents typically have a neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s, or have suffered brain trauma.
