Housing Options
When the time comes to find housing options for your elderly loved ones, it is important to consider different choices to best fit your loved ones needs. Comfort Keepers Santa Clarita can help you explore senior housing options and find the best situation for your loved ones specific needs. There are several popular options that families choose for their seniors.
Home Care Services: Many seniors are able to continue living at home when their needs are minimal and they simple need assistance with daily living activities.
Senior Housing: These are apartments or condominiums exclusively for people 55 and over who can live independently, but wish to have some services such as social activities, transportation to movies, sports events, and other social opportunities.
Independent Living Communities: These communities have maintenance-free homes or apartments for independent, active seniors. These areas have 24-hour security, community centers, fitness centers, and extra service options.
Assisted Living: These housing areas are for seniors that don’t require skilled medical services, but have difficulty living independently. Assisted living typically provides three meals a day in a common dining room along with housekeeping, laundry, dressing, bathing, and medication management.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities: These communities combine independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing services. They offer residents a legal agreement to provide housing and services for life.
Nursing Homes: These homes serve seniors who require full-time care. Unlike other housing options, a physician’s order is required for admission. They are regulated and licensed at the state level.
Alzheimer’s/Memory Care: These areas are staffed and designed to provide 24-hour security and care for persons at all stages of dementia. They provide nursing, therapy, and activities to keep the quality of life better.
Hospice Care: For elderly diagnosed with a terminal illness, hospice care includes medical and nursing care, therapy, emotional and spiritual care, and bereavement support.
These are some of the common housing options that seniors and their families opt for. Comfort Keepers can also help by coming to your home to modify and make it safe for your loved one to live in. Contact Comfort Keepers in Santa Clarita to find the best housing option for your loved one.
