The most common long-term care settings for the elderly are Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Board & Care. These settings offer residents an active lifestyle, services include: care with activities of daily living (ADLs), medication management, housekeeping, maintenance, and meals. Transitions are very difficult for the elderly, finding the right long-term care setting is extremely important as you don’t want to have to transition your loved one several times. We will help you find the best care setting for you or your loved one’s needs at no cost to you and assist you with relocating and provide support during the transition.
Our Senior Placement Services Are Free to Families
There is no cost to families for our senior placement assistance.
We help families identify appropriate senior living options, understand levels of care, compare communities, arrange tours, ask important questions, and navigate the transition into senior living.
Instead of spending days or weeks contacting communities individually, families can work with someone who understands the senior living industry and can help narrow the search.
Understanding Your Loved One’s Needs
Before recommending senior living options, it is important to understand the older adult’s current needs as well as needs that may develop in the future.
Depending on the situation, considerations may include:
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), fall risk, mobility, medication management, cognitive status, emotional well-being, nutrition, pain, skin integrity, personal care requirements, current medical conditions, dementia-related behaviors, social needs, and safety concerns.
Understanding these needs helps determine the appropriate level of care and type of senior living environment.
Assisted Living Placement
Assisted Living is designed for older adults who want to maintain as much independence as possible while receiving assistance with everyday activities.
Services may include assistance with bathing and showering, dressing and grooming, medication management, mobility and transferring, toileting and continence care, meal preparation and dining, housekeeping and laundry, transportation, social and recreational activities, wellness monitoring, and coordination with healthcare providers.
Assisted Living communities can vary significantly in size, services, staffing, atmosphere, amenities, pricing, and the amount of care they can provide.
We help families compare these differences before choosing a community.
Board & Care and Residential Care Homes
For some older adults, a smaller residential environment may be preferable to a traditional Assisted Living community.
Board & Care Homes, sometimes called Residential Care Homes, generally provide care in a smaller residential setting with 24-hour staffing.
These homes may be appropriate for seniors who need more personalized assistance, prefer a quieter environment, or benefit from having fewer residents and caregivers.
We help families compare residential care homes with larger Assisted Living and Memory Care communities to determine which environment may be the best fit.
Memory Care Placement
Memory Care provides specialized support for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
Not every Memory Care community provides the same type or level of dementia care.
When helping families evaluate Memory Care, we consider the individual’s cognitive abilities, behaviors, mobility, personal care needs, safety concerns, social needs, and progression of dementia.
We also help families evaluate important community factors such as staffing, training, supervision, activities, environment, security, and the community’s ability to manage increasing care needs.
The goal is to find an environment where the individual can receive appropriate support while maintaining dignity, comfort, safety, and quality of life.
Benefits of Working With A Gerontologist on Medicare
Personalized Guidance
Every senior’s health, medications, physicians, and future care needs are different. A Gerontologist evaluates your unique situation rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all plan. Your Healthcare Team Matters They help ensure your preferred doctors, specialists, hospitals, and healthcare providers participate in the plan you’re considering, reducing unexpected disruptions in care.
Medication Review Prescription drug costs can vary significantly between plans. A comprehensive medication review helps identify plans that may lower your annual out-of-pocket expenses. Planning for Medicare should involve more than simply comparing this year’s monthly premiums. A Gerontologist and Geriatric Care Manager take a long-term approach by considering your potential future health conditions, long-term care needs, rehabilitation services, home health benefits, durable medical equipment, and how your healthcare needs may change as you age. This forward-thinking perspective helps ensure the plan you choose today will continue to meet your needs in the years ahead.
Why Work With The Way to Aging?
Choosing senior living involves much more than finding a community that looks attractive or has good online reviews. Every older adult has different physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and financial needs. The community that works well for one person may not be appropriate for another.
The Way to Aging brings professional experience in Gerontology, Assisted Living, Memory Care, dementia care, and senior placement to the search process. With experience as a Gerontologist and former Executive Director of Assisted Living and Memory Care communities, we understand senior living from both the family and community perspective. We help families look beyond the marketing materials and consider the factors that can make a meaningful difference in their loved one’s quality of life.
