Learn more about the different senior care options available for your loved ones.
Our Specialty: Residential Care Homes / Small Home Assisted Living
- These are smaller, home-style residences typically housing 6–10 residents, offering a more personalized level of care.
- They are ideal for seniors who prefer a homelike environment with individual attention and a warm, family-like atmosphere.
- Many residential care homes can provide a high level of care at a lower overall cost, though with fewer amenities than larger facilities.
Traditional Assisted Living
(e.g., apartment-style settings offering help with activities of daily living — ADLs)
- Residents receive assistance with bathing, dressing, medication, meals, housekeeping, and social activities, with 24-hour staff support.
- Some assisted living facilities can provide enhanced levels of care for residents who need more assistance while maintaining an active, social lifestyle.
Memory Care / Dementia-Specialized Assisted Living
- These communities provide a secure, structured environment with staff specially trained in dementia care.
- They feature consistent routines, therapeutic activities, and added supervision to ensure safety and comfort.
- Best suited for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairments who need increased support and stability.
CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities)
- CCRCs offer multiple levels of care on one campus, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.
- This allows residents to age in place as their needs change.
- They are ideal for seniors who are independent at the time of admission but value long-term continuity and are comfortable with higher entrance fees + monthly costs for comprehensive care coverage.
In-Home Care (Companion Care)
- Companion care provides non-medical support within a senior’s own home.
- It focuses on social interaction, emotional comfort, and assistance with daily living activities (ADLs) rather than medical treatment.
- Caregivers may visit for a few hours per day or provide extended or overnight shifts, depending on each client’s needs.
