Answers to the Most Common Questions
When a senior adult must find a senior living community that is the best fit for their needs, it can be difficult to weed through what the best option for them would be. On top of having to meet specific criteria for many of the senior community care levels, understanding which community is the best personal fit for the senior’s lifestyle is also hard to do if you don’t know anything about those senior communities. In addition, many areas are saturated with so many choices, each promising great services and amenities, making that decision so much more difficult.
Next Step Senior Placement staff have personal relationships with the prospective senior residents and understands what the senior is likely to need the most. Our staff has formed strong connections with a majority of the senior living communities in the area, of various care levels, and can distinguish the highlights and pitfalls of each one.
The assisted living level of care is for seniors who could be frail, but do not need 24-hour medical nursing care. They sometimes need help with activities such as housecleaning, meals, dressing, and medication reminders and monitoring. The average assisted living resident is 84 years old and needs help with two or three of the activities mentioned above.
Some seniors move into assisted living because living alone may not be safe for them due to the risk of falling, increased memory difficulty or the risk of taking the wrong medication or an incorrect dosage. Many times, moving into assisted living can help you avoid the need for a nursing home altogether.
