Benefits of Assisted Living

Although both assisted living and nursing homes offer very important care to our nation’s seniors, there are key differences. Such as living accommodations, within a nursing home, you will probably find a resident’s room to contain medical equipment, and possibly a hospital bed, all on a tiled floor. While within our residential apartments, you will find it can be much more like home. Each unit offers a kitchenette with a small fridge and a sink. The floors are carpeted, and residents can control their own apartment’s temperature. Apartments can be decorated and furnished as desired to give them that touch of home.

While both nursing homes and assisted living communities offer meals and housekeeping services, the key difference is the approach. Within an assisted living community, the focus is more on the customer experience, instead of medical considerations. Meals in a nursing home may be an important part of a resident’s diet and may be strict. While our meal options are varied and offer choices for breakfast lunch and dinner. All meals are included, and every resident is welcome at all mealtimes.
