FAQ

Assisted Living promotes independence and personal dignity in a safe, home-like environment. Help with the tasks of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, evening care and medication monitoring, is personally tailored to each residents’ personal needs and preferences.

In Assisted Living, a resident makes their home in a private apartment with the convenience of maintenance, housekeeping and laundry services, and has full access to an active lifestyle that includes ample access to entertainment, recreation, dining and transportation.

Assisted Living is a wonderful option for seniors who no longer wish to live alone or may need some help, but who do not need or want institutionalized care in a nursing home. It is best suited for seniors who do not require complex medical care but may require additional support with personal care and daily activities.

Assisted Living communities are designed for seniors who may not be able to live on their own safely, but do not require the higher level of care provided in a nursing home. Assisted Living communities are designed as a setting that provides assistance on various levels in maintaining and enhancing the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual well-being of the residents that reside in the community based on their preferences.

Assisted living communities offer a wide range of services, such as minimal to extensive assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, escorting, etc.), medication management, meal service, transportation, housekeeping, laundry services, life enrichment/community life, and coordination of care with various health-related entities.

Assisted Living provides and/or coordinates personal services, 24 hours a day, with supervision by a licensed nurse and staff or assistants.

Assisted living is a great fit for seniors or couples who are still active and social, but just need some extra help with daily life. Seniors and their adult children can take comfort knowing that 24/7 support is available within the senior living community.

If cooking, cleaning, or managing your medication is overwhelming, assisted living may be for you. If you are still active and can get around on your own or with the assistance of a cane or walker, you may benefit from assisted living, where many daily tasks are taken care of. This frees up your time and energy to enjoy hobbies, spend time with friends and family, and any other activities that you prefer.

Some signs that you or your loved one may be ready for assisted living include: Loneliness or depression; living in a large home for one person and needing to downsize; loss of a spouse/partner; living alone; having trouble with managing money and paying bills; experiencing a decline in health status or exacerbation of a health condition; inability or difficulty cooking or performing basic housekeeping tasks; needing help with personal care and managing medications; or are at increased risk for falling. It might be time to consider an assisted living community.

Assisted living is ideal for seniors or couples who want to maintain their independence while receiving extra support with daily activities. Residents enjoy private living spaces along with personalized assistance tailored to their individual needs.

You may be a good candidate for assisted living if you need help with cooking, housekeeping, bathing, dressing, grooming, or medication management.

Assisted living may not be the best option if you require specialized memory care, rehabilitation after an illness or injury, or ongoing skilled nursing and medical care.

The philosophy of assisted living emphasizes personal dignity, autonomy, independence, privacy, and freedom of choice. An assisted living community is a program which combines housing, health, and supportive services for the support of residents aging in place. This environment promotes health and emphasizes wellness in a warm, dignified, community setting. Residents live in their own private apartment that they can furnish and decorate as they choose. This environment is dictated by resident preferences and choice for all services provided. Residents have the freedom to decide which activities and community events they want to participate in or how they want to spend their day.

Nursing Homes provide skilled nursing care, which is a higher level of medical care, which must be provided by or under the direct supervision of licensed health professionals, such as physicians, registered nurses (RNs) and physical, speech, and occupational therapists. These services can be necessary over the short-term for rehabilitation from an illness or injury, or they may be required over the long-term for patients who need a high level of care on a frequent or constant basis due to a chronic medical condition. Examples of skilled nursing services include wound care, intravenous (IV) therapy, injections, and monitoring of vital signs and medical equipment.

Deer Springs offer all-inclusive care including meals, a full calendar of activities, caregivers on-site, along with a 24-hour on-call nurse. All staff take pride in their work and are committed to providing comprehensive care to all residents.
