After a certain point as a person ages, his or her ability to carry out the most basic of the tasks such as eating, dressing up, toileting, etc starts to decrease, in a way there is a time when an individual reaches a point when they are unable to live on their own any longer and would be in need of constant care and assistance. Children being professionals these days are unable to provide with the required time and assistance to their senior family members that they deserve which makes them assessing different options in assisted senior living. Some of the options include going for an assisted living facility such as the award-winning Anthem Senior Living in the Phoenix region in Arizona or going for a nursing home. Anthem Senior Living is one of the best senior living in Anthem facilities in USA consisting of some of the most qualified and compassionate caregivers.
Senior Independent Living- Such independent living communities are ideal for healthy and active seniors who want to live life independently amongst other senior people. Some of the amenities provided by retirement communities include swimming pools, hiking trails, fitness clubs, monthly activities, etc. This type of setting is ideal for those senior people who do not require medical assistance or prefers a low maintenance home and lifestyle.
Assisted Living Facilities- This is an ideal setting for those seniors who are suffering from mobility issues or difficulty in carrying out the day-to-day activities or people suffering from memory problems such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Most assisted living facilities mainly offer meals, housekeeping services, arranges for social activities and transportation. However, seniors with serious medical conditions should not consider this option. The assisted living facilities is the right option for seniors who want to maintain independence, for seniors who need help with activities of daily living and for elderly people who are still active and want to participate in social activities.
Nursing Homes- Like we all know, nursing homes provide round the clock medical care for seniors with serious medical conditions where a registered nurse is assigned to a person who provides a patient with care and support at all given times. Here residents share a room and are usually served meals by the bedside or in the central dining area. Nursing home is suitable for senior people that have serious medical conditions.
