When it comes to senior care, navigating through the various options can be overwhelming. Assisted living, nursing homes, and in-home care all have their unique features and benefits. At Live Peace 24/7 Seniors Care Corp, we understand the importance of finding the right care solution for your senior loved one in Greater Vancouver.
Assisted Living:
Assisted living is a residence for older people or people with disabilities who require help with some of the routines of daily living as well as access to medical care when needed. Such people, or their families, may choose assisted living facilities so that professional help is on hand. Assisted living residents may require ongoing medical care as well as trained nursing services.
In terms of the level of care provided, assisted living is a step below a nursing home or skilled nursing facility.
Nursing Homes:
Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, provide a wide range of health and personal care services. Their services focus more on medical care than most assisted living facilities or board and care homes. Services offered in a nursing home typically include nursing care, 24-hour supervision, three meals a day, and assistance with everyday activities. Rehabilitation services, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are also available.
In-Home Care:
In-home care includes a wide variety of non-medical services that allow your senior loved one to continue living safely and comfortably in the privacy of their own home. These services are often provided by certified caregivers and they allow elderly people to continue to function on a daily basis.
The services of in-home care include both hands-on needs, such as bathing and grooming, and hands-off needs, such as transportation.
