Assisted living Home for Senior Citizens
Assisted living is a long-term care option for your aging parent or loved one who needs help and is no longer safe or healthy living on their own. Assisted living communities provide 24-hour care in a home setting by trained caregivers.
Their parents or loved ones are assisted with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, transportation, eating and taking medications. Most assisted living communities have a nurse who oversees the health care plan and helps change care as residents’ needs change. Unlike a hospital, an assisted living community is not a clinic, but a comfortable and welcoming home.
They are designed with a social model in mind, engaging residents and encouraging them to make new friends. Residents share a restaurant, enjoy common areas, socialize through daily activities, and live in private apartments. For seniors living in India contact name elder care.
What Sorts of Services Are Offered in a Community of Assisted Living?
Dining :
Meals are social events that residents of assisted living communities look forward to throughout the day. Food can bring comfort to residents and bring them together to socialize and celebrate special occasions or holidays.
In most assisted living communities, three meals a day are served in the communal dining room. Snacks and beverages are provided to encourage proper hydration and ensure residents are getting their daily calorie intake. We take great pride in the meals we serve to our residents and their guests at Nema Elder Care.
Our chefs use the freshest seasonal ingredients to create an ever-changing menu that is not only delicious but also nutritious. Neighbors become friends over meals and stories are told over the dinner table.
Laundry and housekeeping
The goal of an assisted living community is to support residents with personal activities and tasks that may be too much for them. To ease the burden on residents, staff will take care of housekeeping and laundry services. Thanks to the personal laundry service, residents always have clean clothes and linens. Housekeeping keeps their home clean and tidy.
Activities for Socialization and Recreation
Assisted living communities follow a social model with rotating daily activities designed to keep residents active and engaged. Local tours, fitness classes, quizzes, live music, cooking demonstrations and other forms of arts and entertainment are common events that vary by neighborhood and location.
Life Enrichment is Nema Elder Care’s comprehensive event program that includes educational programs such as TED talks, travelogues, brain teasers, music therapy, art and wellness classes that focus on mental health and functional strength and balance to reduce falls. Our Life Enrichment Program encourages residents to make new friends and connect with peers.
Medical Treatment
An assisted living community provides its residents with an individual care plan and is staffed by 24-hour nurses and 24-hour paramedics to administer and track medications, monitor changes in their health, and assist with daily needs.
Nursing managers are specially trained employees who are usually not registered nurses. Many assisted living communities regularly call in specialists, such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, or geriatric psychiatrists, to treat residents in the privacy of their homes.
Additionally, many assisted living communities, like Nema Elder Care, partner with local doctors so residents don’t have to leave the community to see a doctor.
