Senior Care Center Expands to Garden Grove to Help Families Look for Assisted Living Facilities

Senior Care Center, a free online resource to assist families who are looking for long-term care facilities for their elderly loved ones, has expanded its services to include Garden Grove and surrounding areas. This resource offers help to families on how to find facilities for assisted living, Alzheimer's care, independent living, nursing homes, memory care, and more. They take a look at the specific requirements of each family to ensure that the appropriate long-term care facility can be recommended for the elderly loved one. More about this can be gleaned from https://srcarecenter.com/locations/senior-care-in-garden-grove/.

Casey Ryeback, a spokesperson for Senior Care Center Fullerton, says, “Assisted living facilities offer senior care services specializing in personal care and assistance with everyday tasks. However, assisted living is different from other senior care homes as its focus is on helping seniors with basic needs and some medical attention. Each living facility will have different levels of amenities but all assisted living facilities will offer help in the activities of daily life.”

These assisted living facilities have nurses or personal aides who can help the elderly with personal care activities, including eating, bathing and showering, walking, grooming, using the bathroom, getting dressed, personal hygiene, and grooming. These facilities may offer various kinds of amenities, such as: laundry, dining service, housekeeping, emergency and security services, social programs and events, and personal care.

Assisted living facilities will usually offer services for clean laundry and the changing of linens. And they will typically provide three meals a day for residents and will take into account any special dietary needs or restrictions. General housekeeping and maintenance services will also be taken care of so that the elderly residents won’t have to bother themselves with such chores and just relax. Families of the residents will also have peace of mind with the knowledge that these assisted living homes are equipped with 24-hour security systems and emergency call systems to keep the residents safe. In addition, residents will not likely be bored because these facilities usually have scheduled social activities, including holiday parties, game nights, art classes, and more. Those who would like to learn more about these features can visit the Senior Care Center Garden Grove website.

Meanwhile, independent living facilities are for seniors who truly value their independence but their family and loved ones don’t want them to be left living alone at home because of the risk of getting sick or injured without anyone to care for them or to bring them to the hospital if medical care is required. Seniors who are aged 55 and above but continue to be active and healthy are the ideal candidates for independent living homes. These are different from assisted living homes in that the services offered will not include personal care or medical services. Health care services will need to be privately pursued.

On the other hand, there are the nursing homes, which are for the elderly who need 24-hour medical care. These facilities have medical equipment and tools that are often needed by the elderly, such as oxygen tanks, electronic beds, and dialysis machines. These will also have personnel and equipment for providing speech therapy, occupational therapy, memory therapy, physical therapy, and similar services.

For seniors with different kinds of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, there are the memory care homes. Since the residents usually suffer from forgetfulness or memory loss, special care is provided to help them with their daily routines. These facilities will also have structured routines and programs to assist the senior residents in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. They are also designed to prevent the residents from wandering around.

And for seniors who are in good health and want to stay in a facility that mimics home, there are the senior apartments. These are for seniors aged 55 and above who can take care of themselves. In effect, a certain number of seniors will be sharing an apartment and enjoy peace and quiet.
