EACH COMMUNITY OFFERS VARYING LEVELS OF CARE

Assisted living or home senior care offers a wide
range of caregiving benefits to their senior
members. Facility licensing affects the degree
of care and a higher degree of licensing enables
greater care for the members.

EACH COMMUNITY HAS I TS OWN DISTINCT
PERSONALITY
03
Assisted living facilities are not alike and have
their own distinct personality. They range from
large complexes in the suburbs to high-rise
apartment buildings in the city, and even small
cottages surrounded by nature. The majority of
assisted living centers are licensed and provides
care for at least 20 people while many larger
communities can serve up to 100 residents.

PETS ARE TREATED AS THERAPEUTIC
04
Assisted Living facilities treat pets as
therapeutic rather than bothersome. Different
communities have different policies for pets but
all of them supports a furry pet to look after
their senior members. Consider doing a proper
research before choosing any pet and inform the
assisted living facility if your loved one
happens to be allergic to certain animals.

05
Assisted Living is costly for some citizens and
so 41 states provide home and community-based
waivers that enable low-income residents to
enjoy their stay at these communities.
Also, long-term care insurance can help seniors
for financing their long-term care needs.
Veterans and their spouses can enjoy VA benefits
which will diminish the cost of senior care.
Medicaid facilities are available for seniors
with low income and few assets.

ASSISTED L IVING DIFFERS FROM
NURSING HOMES
06
Assisted living and nursing homes are not the
same. While home-based assisted living members
are independent, nursing home residents require
24- hour assistance. Also, assisted living
offers one bedroom apartments compared to
nursing homes with single private rooms. Last
but not the least, assisted living members are
mobile and don't require continuous medical
attention whereas nursing home patients are
bed-ridden and require skilled nursing.

ASSISTED L IVING OFFERS DIVERSE OPTIONS
07
Assisted living offers diverse options for their
residents by fulfilling their cultural,
religious, dietary, and language needs. There
will be an ever increasing need for niche senior
living communities due to the large diversity of
America.

OPTIONS FOR ALZHEIMER S
AND DEMENTIA CARE
08
Modern private assisted living communities offer
memory care programs for their members to
improve the quality of life of each
resident. Senior citizens suffering from
Alzheimer's or dementia will have the option to
live with the general population of the
community. If the condition becomes bad they
will be shifted to "memory care area".
