The world of elderly care has changed considerably in recent years. Elderly care used to be synonymous with nursing homes. But that is far from the truth today. Now, we have a wide scale of elderly care homes available to seniors, from full time nursing facilities to assisted living communities to hands-off independent living communities, and everything in between.

So, how do you know what type you need? Just consider a few basic questions.

1) Does your loved one have a major medical problem that requires constant oversight? Than you definitely need skilled nursing care. But if not…

2) Does your loved one require help doing things that the rest of us do by ourselves? I’m talking about basic Activities for Daily Living? Do they need a hand putting on their clothes in the morning, or bathing, or moving in and out of their bed? If so, don’t think “nursing home” right away. Rather, think assisted living. Plano Assisted Living homes are designed for those types of seniors exactly: people who aren’t necessarily in bad shape from a medical standpoint, but who need help with daily life. Who cannot live alone. These are communities that generally offer help with any of those activities, plus things like housework, transportation, and cooking. Most of them offer three meals a day in the common dining room, and they encourage interaction through social events throughout the week. In short, you can be independent without being alone.

3) If your loved one does not need help with basic activities, and wants independence, then a retirement community or a continuing care facility would be great. Independent living is a standard retirement community where seniors have help nearby if they need it, and they are secure. A continuing care community goes one step further and allows the senior to transfer their living situation to a place with more care if the time comes when they need it. This allows the medical community to adapt to the needs of the senior as the senior’s life changes.

Plano elderly care has plenty of senior care facilities no matter what kind of care you are looking for. To find the housing that fits your needs, put your information in the box at the top of the screen and start searching for retirement or assisted living homes in your area today!
