Assisted living has become one of the most known senior care options for aging loved ones across the United States for over the past decade. The state of Utah is no exception to this as assisted living is one of the most common types of care that is being used.
Why the popularity? You have to think about the types of care that come before or after depending on the level of care needed. Independent Senior Living can be great but oftentimes when we work with families, their loved one is past that stage. Assisted Living still allows a certain level of autonomy but provides enough care for peace of mind. If you have just hit the realization that your loved one needs to have a form of senior living care, Assisted Living is often the best decision for their needs.
Why Is Assisted Living Care a Common Option for Those Living in Utah?
The benefits of course! If your loved one has reached a required level of care that you can no longer provide them, assisted living might be the answer. If you look at the benefits and see if this matches up with your loved one’s needs, it might be time to reach out to us for assistance. Some of those benefits are:
- Provides A Safe Environment: Your loved one’s current home is likely not built with the safety features that should be considered for aging seniors. Stairs and a lack of safety features can make it unsafe. An Assisted Living facility will have grab bars, easy access to an emergency callout, and medication administration services to address your safety concerns.
- Available Care All Around the Clock: When we work with adult caregivers, one of the first concerns they have is getting their loved one the right level of support. If you find that your loved one has begun needing assistance at all times of the day/night, assisted living can provide that on-site attention to help them.
- No More Isolation: One of the more overlooked but common issues for an aging loved one is the level of isolation they can experience. Even if as a caregiver you visit them every day for an hour, that still leaves them in isolation for several hours a day. Assisted Living facilities will provide the social interaction they need to stay mentally healthy along with social activities if your loved one decides to participate.
Transportation Support: Adult caregivers that we speak with want to be able to help their loved one with all errands and required vehicular travel but are limited. You likely have a job and family duties that can make that difficult. There are several assisted living facilities in Utah that will provide travel assistance to your loved one which lowers everybody’s level of frustration and stress.
