An assisted care facility is a good choice if you don’t need round-the-clock medical care and supervision, but you do need more personal care services than you have access to at home or in an independent senior living community.
Whatever your circumstances are, making the decision to move into assisted living can be difficult for some – by taking the time to explore numerous options, and by being honest about your concerns and needs, you will be able to make a decision that keeps your senior years enjoyable and fulfilling.
What Does Assisted Living Look Like?
The transition to an assisted care facility is made easier by knowing what to expect. So, let’s paint a picture of what your experience with us may be like:
-
Maintain Dignity And Respect
The aim of assisted care facilities is for you to maintain independence as long as possible. Eastside Assisted Living staff will always treat you with the highest level of respect and dignity. You will have the freedom to interact with friends and family from inside or outside our facility, as well as bring in any personal possessions you want to keep with you.
-
Build New Friendships
Assisted living provides residents with the unique opportunity to form deep friendships with their neighbors. Sometimes older adults feel isolated as they age, but with assisted living they won’t need to worry about being alone. Social activities and events give you the chance to connect and interact with people and bond over similar experiences.
-
Dine Together
Eastside Active Living has recently renovated our dining hall, giving residents the fine dining experience, they deserve. Dining together strengthens the relationships of the residents within the Eastside community.
We have a professional chef to prepare each meal, ensuring that all specific dietary requirements are met and any sensitivities and conditions are catered to. Nutritious meals are important for maintaining the good health of residents, so we prioritize the quality of the meals provided.
-
Get Involved With Activities
Moving to an assisted care facility doesn’t mean the end of a dynamic lifestyle! Eastside Active Living understands the importance of keeping busy with activities that bring you joy. We have a wide range of activities and classes for residents to partake in, including senior group events, arts and crafts, musical entertainment, and scheduled transport to various trips and outings.
Benefits Of Assisted Living
Assisted living has many benefits for its residents, beyond the daily care that is available to them. These benefits include:
-
Easy Access To Medical Care
Living close to others and having access to emergency services 24/7 is a huge safety net. You will have access to immediate help should the need arise. Medication management ensures you don’t need to worry about keeping track of your medication.
-
Peace Of Mind
Assisted care facilities provide a safe, secure place for residents. You will have continual peace of mind knowing that you are not alone and that you are safe.
-
Safety
Assisted care facilities provide the security and safety of 24/7 support. Help is always only a call away. At Eastside Assisted Living our residents have access to a Call Button Pendant which is very reassuring to the residents and their families.
-
Transportation
Transport abilities can lessen as one gets older, which is why we provide transport to appointments, shopping, recreation, and other outings. Residents are easily able to get around the larger community and need not feel trapped in their homes.
