Assisted Living In-Home Care
• As a resident of assisted living, your parents
become the part of a specific community. By
this, they can participate in the community
activities and develop a social circle with a
proper routine. The facilities of assisted
living include medical facilities,
transportation, laundry, and housekeeping. • With age, older people are becoming
increasingly difficult to lead household and
observe personal hygiene rules. Moreover,
age-related illnesses further complicate their
lives. Often, the disease even prevents from
leaving the house or even can get the person
chained to the bed. I t is especially difficult
for single people who do not have children
or their children are far away, or they
themselves need help.
• The communities of living communities are
established for helping the residents stay
safe and active.
• In comparison with home care, assisted
living is very different. Many people prefer
to live in their own houses, but some of
them like assisted living and receiving the
professional care. Everyone has their own
preferences. Many people want to stay
alone and enjoy their own space while
others like the company of other people.
• It was for such elderly people that the
"Home Care" program was created. After
seeking help, program curators visit a
potential client at home and assess their
ability to self-service and the need for help.
If an elderly person is still capable of doing
something, he must do it himself as it helps
to maintain an active lifestyle and stimulates
brain activity. A health visitor will help with
what he cannot do anymore - he will wash
the floors, go for food and medicine, etc.
