Is Assisted Living the Right Choice for You or Your Loved One?

You’ve made a wise decision in planning ahead for your continued personal care or the care of your loved one. You have to make some important decisions. Perhaps the best solution is that you or your loved one will stay in their current residence with continuing care. Maybe the best choice would be downsizing residences. One solution that has worked for millions of people around the world is choosing an assisted living community. It’s time to weigh the pros and cons, and think about what type of environment will be most beneficial.

Independent vs Assisted Living

First, there are two main categories of senior living: independent living and assisted living. Independent living is best suited for those who are able to live on their own. Independent living apartments or homes often feature the same comforts your loved one is accustomed to, including a full kitchen. Safety features such as grab bars and emergency alert buttons help create a secure living space and peace of mind.

Assisted living communities frequently consist of apartments or suites that offer most of the same comforts as independent living apartments. There are small differences, such as a kitchenette instead of a full kitchen, but the main difference between independent and assisted living is the types of care and services offered to the residents.

When to Consider Assisted Living

While those living in an independent living facility are capable of completing their daily tasks with little to no help. Those living in assisted living require personalized assistance occasionally or throughout the day, such as help with bathing, getting dressed, and taking medication.

If you are unsure about whether to choose independent or assisted living, opting for a community that offers both is a fantastic way to keep everyone happy. The Liberty Ridge community has three different types of living: independent, assisted, and memory care. No matter what your needs, we have a solution.
