When your elderly loved one is ready to start the next chapter in their lives, you have a tough decision ahead of you. Finding the right kind of senior care services for your family member can be difficult, especially if you aren’t sure what types of care are available. To better prepare yourself and your loved one for this journey, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the different types of senior living situations. So when it comes time to make that choice, your decision should be a little easier.
At Castle Senior Living, we want this transitional journey to be as easy and positive as possible for both you and your loved one. We are here to provide insight and solutions that work best for the senior in your life. Check out some of the options below, and get in touch with us when you’re ready to take the next step.
1. Find a Reliable Institution
You need to be sure that the facilities you’re looking at are completely bonded, licensed, and insured. An uninsured senior living situation can result in some terrible experiences and even abuse of the residents. A reliable institution will be honest about the insurance accord, allowing you to see all legal documents. If someone is refusing to work with you, seek another location immediately.
2. Think About the Services You Need
What kind of assistance does your elderly loved one require? Are you considering moving them to a senior living facility, or do they need 24-hour at-home nursing? Knowing the medical, social, and physical needs of your loved one can help you to sort through your options and make a choice that works best for them. If your loved one is independent and would love a space to be free to perform activities with the only minor assistance needed, then a senior living facility may be the best choice.
3. Look at Features and Amenities
A senior living situation should provide a wide range of amenities and features to your loved one. Castle Senior Living provides several features for our residents, including:
- 24-hour professional staff, nurses, and emergency response systems
- Laundry, meals, and activity programs
- Private apartments and dining rooms
- Therapy and wellness assistance
- And much more!
If you feel that a senior living situation is a great choice for your elderly loved one, get in touch with us today.
