So, when it comes time to find the right care, it is important to ensure they have comprehensive support.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of families worry that their loved ones do not have the support they need. Concerns and stories around inadequate assisted living amplify these feelings. Where family members may feel their loved ones are being mistreated or not properly cared for.<\/p>\n<p>Benton House aims to provide more information about these concerns and how we ensure the best care available.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Assisted Living Concerns<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Trained Staff<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Concern: <\/strong>Directors and staff do not receive proper training or lack the interest in properly providing care for residents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Approach: <\/strong>Benton House employs certified caregivers who see residents as family. We take the time to get to know our residents, welcome them into our family, and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.

Diet Issues<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Concern:<\/strong> Meals offered to the residents are of inferior quality and not suitable for a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Approach:<\/strong> A restaurant-style menu with a dozen daily options for residents to enjoy. We take great care in providing a variety of food and snack options for our residents. Meals are prepared daily using fresh ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Socialization<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Concern: <\/strong>Caregivers leave residents to their own devices and do not provide options or opportunities for them to interact with people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Approach:<\/strong> We have a full-time social director in every community. They oversee the planning and scheduling of fun activities and events that are available seven days a week, not just Monday through Friday. We also encourage residents to take part in any event to spend time with friends and other residents.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Privacy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Concern:<\/strong> Residents do not have personal space. All areas are shared, leaving little room for privacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Approach:<\/strong> Our communities feature a variety of apartment sizes and styles that match a variety of tastes and budgets. Residents enjoy plenty of personal space within their apartment and have access to a private restroom.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Moving &amp; Downsizing<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Concern:<\/strong> Changing a living situation and giving up their familiar space can be extremely hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Approach:<\/strong> To help residents transition, we offer the option to decorate and furnish their apartment with belongings. This ensures they can create a place that truly feels like home. They can change their apartment to fit their needs and truly make it their own.<\/p>\n<h3>8.
