The idea of having to live away from home in the last years of our lives under hospital-like conditions in a nursing home, or worse, the thought of having to live alone with no assistance or companionship can be like a nightmare. These sunset years of life are supposed to be beautiful, a time when we share close moments with families, and relax and enjoy pleasant memories. Yet, it’s not necessary to give up one preference to get the other. A Yardley assisted-living placement or Yardley in-home care can give you the best of both worlds.
There are a few tell tale signs that indicate the need for in-home care or an assisted-living community. Signs might include your senior misses an important appointment with the doctor, skips or takes the wrong dosage of medicine, isn’t paying proper attention to personal care and hygiene, falls while in the bathroom.
Yardley in-home care can provide help with a variety of chores, such as cooking, bathing, dressing, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and even shopping and transportation for appointments. In-home caregivers can come for 2 hours or more every day or just a couple of days a week, whatever the senior needs.
Yardley assisted-living placements enable seniors to live as independently as possible, with the assurance that someone is always there to help if needed. Assisted-living communities are senior living options that combine housing, support services, and health care, if and when needed. Typically, these communities provide assistance with their daily activities, like meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and even transportation. Some of these facilities also provide special elder care services to seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Residents of assisted-living communities enjoy the freedom to join in any activity that is offered. It comforts the seniors to know that their physical safety is provided for, medical help is available, and fellow residents are always available to chat with.
Yardley assisted-living placement options range from studio apartments to one-and two-bedroom units. They may have private or shared bathrooms. Kitchens with full or partial facilities are available, but, perhaps unnecessary, as most assisted-living communities prepare meals three times a day. Many Yardley assisted-living placements are associated with highly rated skilled nursing facilities that provide round-the-clock healthcare services for the residents—an extra measure of assurance.
Making the transition to assisted living can be a confusing and overwhelming process. Always Best Care offers a Yardley assisted-living placement service that simplifies the process. Starting with a family meeting to discuss requirements and preferences, Always Best Care identifies two to four assisted-living communities that are the best matches for the family. ABC will then personally take the family on a tour of each facility to decide which one is best for the senior, all for no charge.
Yardley elder care options are better than ever. Seniors and their families can get help in finding assisted living placements or in-home care—including Yardley Alzheimer’s care and Yardley dementia care.
