Assisted Living Amenities
Feeling comfortable at a facility is primarily about finding the amenities you need that are available at a given center. Some of the amenities in these care facilities can include:
- Alzheimer's care
- 24-hour nursing staff
- Pets allowed
It is also possible to find care facilities that are there to meet individuals with disabilities needs. These amenities can be simple things like offering vegetarian meals (under the supervision of a nutritionist), allowing pet visits, as well as activities within common areas. Also, in order to meet the needs of residents, many senior communities in the area provide staff that speak Filipino.
While not vital, when contacting the facilities you are interested in it can be useful to have the resident's medical history including any insurance, doctor, and contacts for any questions the facility coordinator might have. This can aid in planning any special care the individual might require.
