Who is the typical Assisted Living Resident?
Statistically, an assisted living resident needs assistance with an average of three ADLs. A typical assisted living facility resident would be a man or a woman mid-to late 80's who does not need the intensive care of a nursing home but prefers more companionship and needs some assistance in day-to-day living. It is also statistically proven that these residents may often develop diffificulty in making good judgment decisions due to the onset of Dementia or stages of Cognitive Impairment. They make not remember where they are or not recognize family members.
As result they often need a caregiver to protect them and provide services that they are no longer able to do for themselves.
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities (ALFs) provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs); coordination of services by outside health care providers; and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Assisted living as it exists today emerged in the 1990s as an eldercare alternative on the continuum of care for people, normally seniors, for whom Independent living is no longer appropriate but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a nursing home. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity.
