We provide the extra care and support needed for individuals residing in assisted living throughout Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Somerset and Union Counties in New Jersey.
Assisted living facilities are appropriate for those who can still live independently, but may require help with the activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and grooming. They do not want the responsibilities of taking care of a home, so a facility might a wonderful solution. The assisted living facility takes care of the meals and they can eat in a main dining room. They have a kitchenette in their unit and can bring food to eat there as well as keep snacks around. The facility does their laundry and cleans their apartments. It is a great option for those who want a social life since the residents are all on premises together. The facility often schedules recreational events for them to enjoy and participate in. If they want a home health aide, they are free to hire one at their own expense for extra help in getting around and personal care.
Assisted living facilities can be freestanding facilities or in an assisted living community. There is 24-hour supervision and access to health services you would not have at home. This provides a great deal of security to seniors and their loved ones as they age and are no longer able to completely manage on their own. Facilities are usually registered, licensed or certified by the state. These facilities are an important bridge between aging-in-place at home and a nursing home. It is respectful of the level of independence a senior can have at that point in time.
