The Importance of 24-Hour Care in Assisted Living Communities<\/h2>

As people age, it’s not unusual for them to live alone. Although they may be fairly independent, some challenges can come with living alone, especially as health issues arise.<\/p>

For instance, older adults may start experiencing falls if they are mismanaging medications or attempting strenuous housework. They may also feel lonely and less active than in the past.<\/p>

Family members noticing these changes may think it is time to consider assisted living.<\/p>

Assisted living facilities provide a secure and supportive environment for older adults who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs). They also offer opportunities for socialization and recreation.<\/p>

Assisted living can be an excellent option for an older adult struggling to live alone.<\/p>

But what kind of care is available in assisted living? Does assisted living provide 24-hour care? The answer is that it depends on the community.<\/p>

Most assisted living communities provide some level of 24-hour care. Support can include overnight security staff or nurses available to assist residents with medication and other needs.<\/p>

However, not all assisted living provides the same level of care. Do the research and ask specific questions to find a community that can provide the correct level of care.<\/p>

What is assisted living?<\/h2>

Assisted living is a type of long-term care. The service provides personal care and support to older adults. These services can include help with ADLs, such as bathing, grooming, and eating.<\/p>

24-hour assisted living communities also provide social and recreational activities, transportation, and housekeeping services. Residents can continue their independence in private, senior-friendly apartments.<\/p>

\u201cThe assisted living care model is based on choice and independence, so that means the residents can be as active as they choose (or not), depending upon their preference,\u201d says Pegasus Senior Living Senior VP of Health and Wellness, Dr. Sandra Petersen<\/a>. \u201cStaff members are trained to encourage residents to attend activities but are sensitive to the balance necessary for quality of life.\u201d<\/p>
