Know the Differences Between Different Portland Senior Living Options
There are many options for seniors. From Semi-Independent Living in Retirement Communities or Assisted Lving in apartment-style homes to the dreaded "Nursing Home. Choosing a Portland facility that meets your needs begins with understanding what different senior facilities offer.Adult Placement Network represents many options offering a wide variety of services. We can assist you with placement in:
Services provided to seniors vary widely. Seniors may have complete independence including food preparation and care of their own laundry and housekeeping, or seniors may eat provided meals, can oftentimes get assistance with medications and have laundry and housekeeping services included.
Level of assistance provided to seniors varies widely. Meals, laundry and housekeeping services are included. Medication assistance is also common. Assistance with personal care and ambulation (referred to as Activities of Daily Living ) may or may not be included.
Services provided include special focus on managing care and safety needs when senior dementia is involved. Meals, laundry, housekeeping services and personal care are included with special security measures in place to keep seniors secure.
Adult foster care or adult family-style living includes a home-like setting where seniors have their own private room and space. Meals and social activities are enjoyed in common areas of the home.
Adult day care provides a safe place for seniors to spend their time while primary caregivers are away. In most cases, adult daily care doesn't work well for a senior who needs assistance with personal care such as using the bathroom, though there are some day care programs that accept seniors with ambulatory issues.
Nursing homes offer full supportive care for seniors who have lost their ability to get around on their own. Many homes offer a pleasant environment with attractive dining facilities and social centers with home-like furnishings, and even allow personal furniture in the senior's room. There is no reason for your love one to spend his or her final years in a dreary, smelly environment.
