Senior Community Options – Which is right for you?

---

These communities are for seniors who are in good health and can live independently without the need for medical or personal support. These communities can provide dining services, social programs, laundry services, and more for residents.

These facilities offer personal care services, where nurses and aides can help residents with activities of daily living. These tasks can include bathing, walking, cooking, eating, dressing, and more.

These facilities are smaller residential homes that will take in fewer residents (anywhere from 6 to 12). Residents will have care within a smaller community while enjoying the comforts of a home.

Also known as skilled nursing facilities, these facilities have 24/7 medical staff available to attend to residents with chronic health conditions, injuries, or illnesses. Nursing homes are primarily federally regulated and may be covered by Medicare for short-term stays.

These are large communities that include assisted living facilities, independent living, and skilled nursing facilities all on one campus. 

Home care allows seniors to receive support within the comfort of their homes. Nurses and aides can come to the resident’s home to care for the senior.

Memory Care facilities are specially designed to incorporate routines, structure, and programs for their residents to promote safety and slow the progression of memory loss.

These living communities are typically offered to those age 55 and up. These low-cost apartments are for seniors who can live independently and offer amenities such as meals, social activities, and housekeeping.

These are programs offered to seniors with disabilities or memory-loss conditions who need supervision and companionship. These services are offered during the day and can provide activities, therapy, and meals to seniors.
