Connect Our Elders, in addition to believing so strongly in direct to consumer education, partners with home care agencies, care managers, senior housing placement processionals (not direct to communities as we believe families deserve to have the on-ground experts facilitating tours to various communities and the on-ground placement professionals truly understand the differentiators of each community option), legal\/financial professionals so as to help Elders and their inner circle navigate and get connected to experts in each area.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t It is not often families understand clearly what\u2019s needed to adequately support their loved one in the aging experience and Connect Our Elders is here to provide empathetic, proactive education and navigation through the many resources that exist. <\/span>Simply providing a list of resources to these families is not adequate. It does nothing to reduce overwhelm. <\/span>However, making a confident, professional, direct recommendation does. <\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Independent living is simply any housing arrangement designed exclusively for older adults, generally those aged 55 and over.\u00a0 Since independent living facilities are aimed at older adults who need little or no assistance with activities of daily living, most do not offer medical care or nursing staff.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Independent living preserves a senior\u2019s independence while placing them in a community of like-minded people. It balances the many competing needs of today\u2019s seniors by offering: A ready-made community that doesn\u2019t intrude on privacy and help when a senior needs it, without compromising independence.<\/span><\/p> Independent living communities are designed for active adults. Their residents are ready to trade in the years of often overwhelming yet fulfilling responsibilities that may have included raising children and having a meaningful career. Although they wouldn\u2019t have had it any other way, now they\u2019re ready to experience time that they can truly call their own.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Simplicity and freedom<\/b> \u2013 They don\u2019t have to deal with the expense and hassles of taking care of the house or yard anymore. If they don\u2019t want to cook, they don\u2019t have to \u2013 or do dishes. They have more time to do the things they love and to pursue new interests.<\/span><\/p> Staying active<\/b> \u2013 A comment you\u2019ll hear a lot is, \u201cThere\u2019s so much to do here you can\u2019t fit it all on your calendar.\u201d It\u2019s not uncommon for residents to realize just how little they were actually doing when they still lived in their house. With so many opportunities right at their fingertips, they can be as busy as they want.<\/span><\/p> Social connections<\/b> \u2013 The effects of social isolation can be devastating to your physical and mental well-being. As an independent living resident, social opportunities are built into daily life, from informal get-togethers with friends to resident clubs, outings and parties.<\/span><\/p> Access to care<\/b> \u2013 As healthy as you may be now, you just don\u2019t know if or when your health (or the health of your loved one) will change. Making the choice to move to independent living has been a blessing to many residents who had an unexpected health problem. They didn\u2019t have to worry about where to find the care they needed, and didn\u2019t have to move out to get it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Independent living communities primarily focus on serving the social needs of residents, as many are able to live independently without much support. Assisted living communities support those who need assistance with activities of daily living, while allowing residents to live as independently as possible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters. The facilities generally provide a home-like setting and are physically designed to promote the resident\u2019s independence.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Having 24\/7 Assistance and Supervision<\/strong><\/p> In an assisted living community, there are always staff around to keep a lookout and provide immediate help should any accidents occur. Neighbors, friends, and fellow residents can also check in on one another.\u00a0<\/p> Fitness, Movement, and Nutritious Meals<\/strong><\/p> Many assisted living communities provide excellent fitness amenities and senior-specific programs to enhance the health and fitness of the residents.\u00a0 On top of that, dining options like restaurants implement nutritionist-approved menus, ensuring your loved ones will get delicious and nutritious meals daily.<\/p> Strong Community Support<\/strong><\/p> By being part of a community, seniors can reignite their love for life by fostering new connections and support with other residents. Your loved ones can find friends sharing the same hobbies and interests, which further enhances their feeling of support and belonging to the community. The extra bond will also lead to higher attendance for the scheduled activities and events that are specially designed for residents.<\/p> Customized Care Plans<\/strong><\/p> An assisted living community takes into account all the residents with varying medical or dietary needs and ensures these are strictly adhered to by the staff on-site. For instance, residents with diabetes will receive very different care and treatment than those who suffer from dementia. Your loved ones will be given highly personalized care plans that cater to the required medical or social needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We have earned the respect and admiration of our peers due in large part to our honest and open style of caring.

It will pay for most medical costs incurred while the senior is in independent living, but will pay nothing toward custodial care (personal care) or the room and board cost of independent living.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tThree Levels of Senior Housing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
