When seniors and their loved ones are beginning to consider assisted living communities, they may not be thinking necessarily about empowerment but more so fearful of losing their independence. Invariably, aging can change our needs and need for support. Still, some assisted living communities consider preserving their residents’ independence a fundamental aspect of aging while assisting with daily tasks. While exploring your assisted living community options in Modesto, we encourage you to consider the following questions and factors:
Do you know if the Facility offers personalized Care Plans?
We believe that a person-centered approach to care, tailoring our concierge services to meet an individual’s needs while respecting their autonomy, is paramount. Each assisted living resident’s preferences, abilities, and goals are unique. Residents should have the opportunity to collaborate with their care team to create personalized care plans that align with their lifestyle and preferences, whether it’s assistance with grooming, mobility, or medication management. Residents must remain in control of their care decisions.
Is Active Engagement Encouraged?
Staying active and engaged at any age is vital for maintaining physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We encourage you to review the programs and activities offered at each Modesto assisted living facility to promote residents’ interests, passions, and talents. From art workshops and clubs to fitness classes, educational seminars, and social outings, residents should be free to participate in activities that resonate with them to foster a sense of purpose and fulfillment, empowering them to pursue their interests and stay connected with their community.
Do They Promote Choice and Autonomy?
Choice is a fundamental aspect of independence, and residents should be encouraged to decide about their daily routines, activities, and dining preferences. Dining programs should offer various delicious and nutritious meal options, allowing residents to choose what to eat and when. Additionally, the freedom to explore community amenities and participate in activities promotes a sense of control and autonomy.
Is Creating A Supportive Community Environment A Top Priority?
Try to understand the community’s culture as you tour potential assisted living, dementia care, or independent living facilities. Is this community more than just a place to live? Does it feel supportive and inclusive, an environment where residents feel valued, respected, and empowered?
