Long Term Care

What exactly is an assisted living facility? It is a place for people that need help with Activities of Daily Living, but they wish to live as independently for as long as they can. These facilities are meant to be a bridge between independent living and the nursing home. Residents in these facilities are not able to live alone but they do not need constant care either. Assisted living facilities help with such things as bathing, dressing, eating, housekeeping, laundry and being assisted with medications. This is not a nursing home alternative, but it offers an intermediate level of long-term care that is appropriate for many of our senior citizens.

Here are just a couple of Ohio assisted living facilities that you will find in Ohio:

The different levels or care are personalized and they range from light support all the way up to comprehensive assistance that give the residents all the Activities of Daily Living. At Sunrise Senior Living of Englewood, licensed nurses take care of dispensing medications as well as providing wellness checks on the residents. Residents are also able to enjoy laundry and housekeeping services, three restaurant style meals, daily scheduled activities, etc. For those residents who suffer from memory impairment, they are helped in Reminiscence which is dedicated to the concept of compassionate care.
