Understanding assisted living

• Families comparing their choices for senior
  living are often concerned about things like
  care, community maintenance, and quality of life.
  Many also fear they might be sending their loved
  ones into a place that wont care for their
  cherished family in a way they would like. While
  understandable, these fears could not be farther
  than the truth for Hellenic Senior Living by ASL.
  When evaluating living options, it is important
  to begin with an understanding of what assisted
  living actually means.

• Assisted living communities are quite different
  from nursing homes.
• Nursing homes and other skilled nursing
  facilities are for seniors with chronic health
  issues requiring skilled care provided by
  registered nurses or therapists. On the contrary,
  in an assisted living community, youll just get
  the care you need to make daily life easier.
  Whether you need help with medication, assistance
  in getting to and from activities, or additional
  checks on your welfare, an assisted living
  community will provide you with care tailored to
  your unique situation.
• Assisted living is more affordable than you might
  think.
• Our communities are designed for seniors that
  need some assistance with their expenses.

• In fact, our assisted living communities are
  often similar to your expenses at home when you
  combine rent, dining, home upkeep and personal
  support expenses such as at-home care, our
  communities are often similar in cost or a better
  alternative.
• Residents maintain autonomy over their day.
• Assisted living communities offer many activities
  and choices for things to do throughout the day,
  but no one is ever required to attend. You will
  still have the freedom to choose how youd like
  to spend your days, and that includes enjoying
  your meals when you want to eat and leaving the
  community to participate in favorite activities.
  The wonderful thing about assisted living
  communities is that you stay in charge, but we
  offer you a full array of options for activities
  and the community of residents to keep you
  socially engaged.

• An assisting living community is truly a home.
• Assisted living communities are set up like an
  apartment complex. You will be able to have your
  own unit and furnish it in a way that makes you
  comfortable and is truly your home. You will only
  have visitors when you want them, and no one will
  just enter your apartment without knocking and
  getting prior consent. Assisted living
  communities are set up to provide you with
  support, on a schedule that works for you and
  helps you to maintain your privacy.

• Assisted living communities help their residents
  live life to the fullest.
• Assisted living communities simply provide you
  with a bit of support so that you can maintain
  your independence and live life the way youd
  like. In fact, there are so many options for
  fellowship with other community members, and so
  many activities, that life is enhanced, not
  diminished. Assisted living communities have
  evolved to serve the needs of active older
  adults. They take away the stresses of daily life
  so residents can truly live life to the fullest.
  Most importantly, assisted living communities
  provide a sense of community with other older
  adults so that the loneliness that often
  accompanies aging is diminished.
