Always Best Care can Help You Choose an Assisted Living Situation for You or Your Loved Ones

Eventually, many seniors choose to transition from in-home supportive care to an assisted living situation. In-home care is one where the senior maintains complete independence in their own home, but receives assistance with various tasks including taking care of pets, organizing mail, preparing meals, escorting to religious services and other activities like concerts, libraries, etc., even assisting with end-of-day rituals like evening tuck ins.

Assisted living is one where the senior lives in a community of other seniors who are in the same situation as they are, they aren’t quite able to live independently, but they are not yet in the position where they require constant care. Assisted living in Morris County and Essex can provide seniors with a rich life of friendships, mentally and physically stimulating activities, as well as the convenience of having shops like salons, cafés and restaurants very close by, within walking distance inside the community.

Always Best Care Senior Services provides in-home supportive care services to seniors, and they also provide assisted living guidance for when the time comes for the senior to make that move. Any fees associated with the assisted living services provided by ABC are paid for by the chosen community. ABC is so dedicated to their senior clients that they even personally escort clients to take tours of the assisted living communities they are interested in. In this way, ABC can help the senior decide if the particular community matches their needs and their budget.

ABC takes great pride in helping seniors to enjoy fulfilling lives by fostering their independence and promoting their unique individuality. With so many assisted living communities available to seniors in the United States, it’s important to remember certain questions to ask before making that final decision. Some of them include:

  1. How many living units are available within the community?
  2. Where exactly is the community located?
  3. What are the different types and sizes of units available?
  4. Are bathrooms private?
  5. Are all the rooms private?
  6. How does the community bill for its services?

These are, of course, just a handful of the many questions you should be asking, and because Always Best Care Senior Services accompanies you, your tour will be thorough and enlightening. Contact ABC today at (862) 772-7047 for a free consultation.
