Senior living communities offer a wide selection of different levels of care options for older and aging adults and are essentially for those who are either no longer able to live independently or else no longer want to live independently in their own home.

With that in mind, continue reading for a comprehensive guide to senior living communities and whether they are the right choice for you.

The 3 Main Different Types of Senior Living Communities

There is a multitude of different prestigious, established, and professional senior living community options, each with specific attributes and levels of provision of care.

Assisted living facilities provide a self-contained flat with a private front door for each and every resident to live their life as independently as they can. There is a wide range of social activities and day excursions that are arranged by the staff, and the schedule changes from week to week. Each resident in an assisted living facility is afforded their own specialized and tailor-made care plan, and people who require medical treatment or more help and assistance are cared for and treated accordingly.

Independent living facilities are for those older adults who are fully capable of living in their own home but who have tired of the daily running of the house, chores, and other financial obligations associated with owning a home. Often, the majority of people who choose to move to an independent living facility choose to do so for a more relaxing and peaceful life.

Nursing homes are perhaps the type of senior living facility that provides the most intensive and regular supervision, assistance, care, and medical treatment of all the different facilities. Amongst a plethora of other services, nursing homes provide residents with both indoor and outdoor recreational and social activities, shared or private rooms dependent on preference and, unfortunately, budget, grocery shopping, and chores completed for you, assistance with daily living such as bathing and dressing, housekeeping, and a laundry service.

Are Senior Living Communities the Right Place for You?

Professional, established, and renowned senior living communities such as assisted living in Delaware will provide exactly the right level of social interaction, care, and assistance that you need and want, entirely down to your own specific requirements.

Naturally, and quite obviously, every single human being is entirely different, with completely unique feelings, attributes, and wants and desires. However, if you are considering moving to a senior living community, or your family member or close friend is considering the move, there are a few questions to ask yourself that may aid your decision in choosing the right community for you or your loved one:

  • How friendly and approachable do the staff and medical professionals seem?
  • How do current residents describe living there?
  • What kind of social activities does the facility provide?
  • What is the structure of meal planning, and are dietary requirements adequately met?
  • Are there opportunities to walk in gardens or grounds and spend time in nature?
