HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY FOR ELDERLY


Assisted living facility is an option for the seniors who require help with certain day-to-day activities. These facilities provide a round the clock support and access to care for your loved ones. But sometimes being able to find an assisted living facility suited the best for your loved one can be a challenging task. Here are some things that you can consider while choosing a facility for your elderly.
  • Planned Routine: A good facility would provide a personalized structured plan that meets the needs and requirements of your elderly, helping them with everything and at the same time giving them the space to do the things that they can easily do themselves.
  • Friendly Environment: The facility should be able to make your loved ones feel at home. Having a friendly, safe and comfortable environment is far more important than the luxurious appeal that a facility may provide.
  • Recreational Activities: Having a new activity planned for every day, helps to keep the elderly engaged in activities and helps them enjoy their time at the facility. It becomes a mode of interaction where they are also able to communicate with the fellow residents and make new acquaintances and friends.
  • Nursing and Care: The facility should have registered nurses to check up on regularly on all the residents to make sure that everyone is doing fine and is at all times healthy. Also check that the facility is associated with nearby hospitals, for it is necessary in case any emergency arrives at some point
  • Staff interaction with residents: You should also take a notice of how the staff at the facility interacts with the elderly already residing there, it will help you understand the environment of the facility better and also will give you a fair judgment of how well your loved ones will be taken care of at the facility.
  • Touring the Facility: Before arriving at a decision of moving an elderly to a facility, you should visit it and take a look around at everything. Although, your first visit would be through an appointment, you should make an unannounced visit to see how things are going when you give surprise visits.
  • Interacting with existing residents: You should also talk to the people already living there, they would give you the proper feedback and insights of the facility.
  • Kitchen Service: Especially while ageing, it is necessary to keep in check the food consumed by a person. You could also visit the kitchen of the facility to make sure fresh fruits and vegetables are being used and also that the kitchen is being kept clean at all times.
These are just certain measures that can help you decide, if the assisted living facility that you are choosing is really the right one for your loved ones or not, because at the end of the day nothing matters more than the comfort and ease of your loved one.
