Communication and knowledge are key factors when looking
into senior housing options. It is important to get the information you need in
order to make an informed decision. Many senior housing communities in Colorado
Springs offer different levels of care and assistance for your everyday needs
and wants. Are you looking to maintain your independence? Do you want to change
your lifestyle or level of care? Do you require special assistance? It is
important to know that senior housing can work for a variety of needs and most
importantly, will cater to yours. Below are three of the most common types of
living assistance individuals look for, and hopefully this helps you with the
decision of if senior housing is right for you.
Independent Living
Independent
living options in senior housing communities are made to fit an individual's
needs. This option is for people who want to choose their lifestyle. Living
independently lets you live in privacy while still having on call assistance.
It gives you the choice to use the facilities resources such as engaging in
activities or setting up a meal plan while still giving you the freedom to
participate as you wish.
Assisted Living
Assisted Living
services give you the comfort of knowing there is care available for your
personalized needs. This is for those individuals who can no longer live at
home but still want to be active seniors. Maybe you need help preparing food or
bathing? There are people to help with your needs while still allowing you to
participate in a variety of housing activities.
Nursing
Some senior
housing facilities provide services to those in need of nursing care. This
option will assist you, so you can get back to a level of functioning. Once you
feel comfortable, you will be able to maintain your independence while knowing
there are nurses available for you when functioning alone is not possible.
Each senior
facility is different and offers its own levels of assistance, so it is
important to discuss your needs and find the right place that fits you.
Independent living, assisted living, and nursing homes are basic levels of
assistance but remember that some senior homes offer specific service care
including but not limited to Alzheimer's care, residential care, continuing care,
rehabilitative care and short term care.
