Senior Care Center1 Discusses The Advantages Of Assisted Living Facilities

California based Senior Care Center recently took the time to discuss the advantages of assisted living facilities. The center was recently featured on a news site. The title of that publication is Senior Care Center on the Advantages of Assisted Living Facilities.

Casey Ryeback, a representative for the care center says, “Preparing for our golden years can be confusing and frustrating. We wanted to help lessen the burden that many families feel by offering more information on the assisted living industry and how it can help those who need around the clock supervision, but perhaps not around the clock medical care.”

Assisted living facilities are typically chosen by seniors who do not need constant medical attention, such as they would receive in a nursing home structure. Assisted living typically provides a structured atmosphere with a more homelike feel than nursing homes. Ryeback says that there are a number of benefits to choosing assisted living over nursing homes, for those who do not need the constant medical attention.

“Anyone who is relatively independent will actually thrive in an assisted living atmosphere,” says Ryeback. “We always encourage our clients to learn more about their total options when it comes to long term care and assisted living should definitely be one of those considerations.”

Those who would like to learn more about assisted living and other solutions for senior care can visit Senior Care Center1 on their official website. Ryeback states that they offer consultations for senior citizens and their families from a personalized perspective, to help ensure that the best solution is chosen for each individual.

Ryeback says that assisted living is often the better choice for those who only need minimal assistance with daily tasks. Those who may have difficulties with dressing, bathing, running errands and cooking may find the structure of an assisted living facility more appealing than a nursing home. Nursing homes are typically chosen by seniors and their families when the senior is uncapable of caring for themselves at all. Nursing home residents are typically bedridden or may need constant medical attention which is provided by nurses and physicians who are on staff at the nursing home.

Those who do not need this constant medical care may find assisted living or residential care homes to be a better option. These homes typically have a family like appeal. Meals are cooked and served to residents who often dine around a dining room table. Each resident has a room of their own or in some cases, residents may share a bedroom with other residents.

The atmosphere in an assisted living facility is less medical and more family like, according to Ryeback. She adds that some assisted living centers are set up like little villages, with separate houses for the residents. Those who can live independently may have a small house or an apartment and the entire complex is watched over with assistance as needed. These facilities also often encourage social activities and will plan these activities on site as well as outside the complex.

Ryeback states that assisted living complexes provide safety around the clock for residents while enabling them to live their lives as independently as they can. Assistance is offered when needed but otherwise, residents are free to do their own thing. Ryeback adds that more on this can be seen on the company’s press page on Press Advantage.
