3 Essential Tips for Touring an Assisted Living Home

Before you settle on an assisted living home for your aging parent, make sure to tour it first. Here are some tips that you should remember:

- Check out the overall cleanliness of the home. Is everything well-organized? Are there no foul smells? Make sure to check the home’s overall cleanliness.

3 Advantages of Socialization for Seniors

In an assisted living home, residents can interact with each other and staff members, reducing their risk for the emotional, physical, and cognitive difficulties that most isolated seniors encounter. The advantages of socialization for seniors include:

- Reduced risk of depression. Seniors won’t feel alone and isolated which reduces the likelihood for depression.
- Improved self-esteem. Socialization can help seniors preserve their sense of worth and self-esteem.
- Reduced risk of cognitive decline. Seniors can interact and play with others (i.e. board games, puzzles, etc.) which can reduce their risk for cognitive decline.

4 Red Flags That Your Granny Needs Assisted Living Care

Old age caries with it negative physical, mental, and emotional changes. Fortunately, assisted living facilities can help address these troublesome and horrifying changes. So how will you know that it is time to move your grandparent to an assisted living facility? Take a look at some of these following signs:

FREQUENT ACCIDENTS
No one knows when accidents can happen. Also, it can happen to just anyone, including your senior dear ones. Thus, it is not a good idea to leave your granny alone at home. Otherwise, who will respond if anything happens to them?

CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS
If your seniors have dementia, COPD, and other progressive medical conditions, then it may be time to consider placing them in an assisted living facility, where their needs can be properly attended to by healthcare professionals.

ISOLATION AND LONELINESS
Feelings of isolation and loneliness can lead to depression. Just like young people, elders also need to form social relationships. They need someone they can confide in.

MALNUTRITION
Doctors recommend that we eat three healthy meals a day. Seniors are not exempt from this. Sadly, meal preparation can sometimes be challenging for most elders.

Assisted Living: How Does My Senior Loved One Benefit From It?

One of the hardest decisions you have to make is to whom you should entrust your senior loved ones. Consider putting them in a dependable assisted living facility. Here are the benefits they can get from it:

1. Help is never far away.
You do not have to worry about your seniors' safety. If something happens, there are many healthcare professionals who are ready to attend to them.

2. Their right to privacy is respected.
Your seniors have an option whether or not they want to share a room with someone. If not, then they can enjoy a room of their own.

3. It is the right place to form friendships.
Most assisted living homes offer entertaining activities, like playing board games. This is a great way to interact with people their age and possibly make new friends.

4. Their health is put first.
Malnutrition is one of the health concerns seniors face. Assisted living facilities ensure that they eat healthily and properly.

5. Independence is never curtailed.
In assisted living facilities, seniors can enjoy their autonomy because they can still do the things that they love.
