The best thing you can do is be there for them, and help them adapt. The first step it to learn about all the senior living options available. To overcome feelings of loss of independence, consider a single resident room rather than sharing with a roommate. Later on, they might seek to share a room for companionship. Skilled nursing sets Generations Center for Senior Living apart from most other assisted living homes. Therapy and rehabilitation services are all available on one campus. How do I know if my loved one needs skilled nursing? A short-term stay in skilled nursing most often occurs after a hospital stay. Often, residents eventually transition back to their home. A longterm move to a skilled nursing facility may occur when a senior needs care they can’t get at home. The required care is more financially feasible at Generations Center for Senior Living.
