For those who can afford it, Assisted Living (Alzheimers) residences can be like living in a high-rise condo. The facilities are wonderful and in addition to providing long-term care, your loved one will have the facilities such as housekeeping, planned social and exercise activities and transportation all included in the cost package.
One of the many advantages of placing a loved one in a special Assisted Living (Alzheimers) complex is that they will be living in a fully integrated care system where the necessary facilities are located close by.
For instance, a Nursing Home may contain an assisted living wing for Alzheimers patients, which is close to an Adult Day Centre for Senior Citizens and an in-house health clinic. Sometimes these excellent facilities are contained within one building, or they can be in separate buildings within one attractive campus.
Advantages
This system provides some very attractive advantages. For example, as the need for care progresses people with Alzheimers can stay in familiar surroundings but just move to a part of the nursing home that provides higher levels of care.
Secondly, the residents who have formed friendships or who have a spouse also living in the nursing home can continue these vitally important relationships. Thirdly, when the care home has been selected to be near to the rest of the family, the family members remain close by and visitors still have easy access for coming along to see their relatives.
Peace of mind
Indeed, many families moving into the new homes that New Jersey currently has for sale have made their decision knowing that they will be conveniently close to some fine assisted living (Alzheimers) complexes for elderly parents.
In addition, the residential areas containing town homes in Livingston, NJ contain many families with relatives living in local nursing homes nearby. The peace of mind for children of Alzheimers patients is assured when they are able to visit their parent/s frequently. As the need for care increases, they are always on hand to make sure their relatives are getting the best possible treatment.
