One of the most frequent questions we receive is, “What is assisted living?”
Assisted living bridges the gap between independent living and nursing homes. Residents live independently in their own apartments and are provided assistance with medication, household chores, meals, socialization and bathing, if and when needed. In an assisted living setting, when small or large changes occur, there is the oversight to intervene and provide solutions so residents can continue to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.
At Whitcomb Terrace, we offer a highly individualized and responsive approach that can only be achieved in a small community with a high staff-to-resident ratio.
The best time to transition to assisted living is before you require much assistance, or just want to let go of the burdens of homeownership. Research shows that getting settled and developing new routines in a new setting or at the onset of age-related memory difficulties delays or even precludes the need to transition to a more costly higher level of care, such as a memory care or skilled nursing facility.
