How to Know if Assisted Living Is Right for Your Loved One

Deciding whether or not your loved one needs assisted living can be difficult. Not many people will welcome the idea of moving their loved ones to an assisted living facility. However, there are certain instances where this will be the best choice to make. Therefore, you must give it some thought. In this article, we look at ways you can know whether assisted living is right for your loved one.

Medication Management

This is one of the major concerns that contribute to enrolling a loved one into an assisted living home. Medication management can be quite problematic, especially for seniors. If you know you have a busy schedule and you can’t always attend to your loved one, therefore you must consider assisted living.

There are instances when you cannot afford to have any errors in medication management. Such errors can even pose a serious threat to your loved one’s life if they are sick. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 350,000 individuals end up in hospitals every year due to medication management errors

In an assisted living community, attendants ensure that medicines are managed properly. They also offer help with other tasks like bathing and exercising.

Opportunities for Socialization

Some households are quite busy, and if your household is like that, your loved one might end up with no one to spend time with. In such instances, you might also want to consider assisted living. They will be able to have positive relationships with staff and other residents. These relationships can help to prevent isolation. In addition to that, they will also be able to participate in a lot of enriching activities.

Would They Benefit from Care Coordination?

Before you make a move to assisted living, you must consider whether your loved one is getting the care they need from you. Apart from that, it can be overwhelming for them to keep going for many appointments with many doctors and specialists.

In an assisted living home, they will not have to visit doctors and other caregivers separately. The care in these communities is coordinated. This means that everything is under one house. If your loved one needs a doctor, physical therapist, or other health professionals, they will be there in the home.

Information from the Center for Assisted Living indicated that there are currently about 835,000 Americans staying in assisted living centers. If you do make the decision of moving your loved one there, they will certainly not be alone.
