Assisted Living May Be the Answer When Sundowners Causes Frustration
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Sundowner’s syndrome is most commonly associated with Alzheimer’s, but it can be present among seniors who are dealing with other forms of dementia, too. It derives its name because most of the symptoms — most notably verbal or physical aggression — tend to happen during the later afternoon or evening hours. When considering the right memory care facility for somebody experiencing Sundowners syndrome, assisted living should be a consideration.
Can a Beloved Cat Come Along to Assisted Living?
Reading Time: 3 minutes
April is National Pet Month and when an elderly senior, like your parent, may require more than what companion home care could offer or any other type of care, assisted living is a great option. Some assisted living communities will provide short-term stay options, so your senior could see exactly whether or not this would be optimal for them for elderly care services at this stage in their life. If they have a pet, like a beloved cat, this often leads people to assume they can’t consider assisted living, at least not at this time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Ah, spring is almost here and winter is well behind us. For most of us, so are those fun, exciting, but unfulfilled New Year’s resolutions. Bet you didn’t think you would have to hear about those resolutions again! Well, it’s not always a bad thing to be reminded of them. For some, a little reminder could help us get back on track, especially when it was about something as important as caregiver services at an assisted living facility.
How Seniors Can Share Their Amazing Stories to Loved Ones
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Everyone has a story to tell. You do. Your elderly mother or father does, too. Just because a person may have reached the latter part of their life, retired many years ago, and are dealing with a growing conglomeration of health-related challenges and physical limitations … that doesn’t mean their story is done yet. The right elder care support, strategically placed, can help them continue writing an amazing story well into their 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, or beyond.

Caregiver: Keeping Seniors Safe at Assisted Living
Reading Time: 2 minutes
One of the most important things to a family caregiver of aging seniors is keeping them safe. Yet, safety generally declines as people get older. This is especially true when men and women move through their 70’s, approaching 80, and even move well through their 80’s and 90’s. The older a person is, the more likely they are facing some potentially serious safety hazards.
Assisted Living Becomes a Top Option with New Technology and Respite Care Advances
Reading Time: 3 minutes
One thing that many people immediately think about when they hear the term ‘assisted living’ is a permanent, end-of-life care option for aging men and women. In reality, assisted living is first and foremost about living life to the fullest, with help (assistance).
It’s easy to miss some important information about assisted living, though. One notable example is the fact that most people are not aware of the respite care options some quality assisted living facilities offer elderly men and women.
Memory Care Units Decrease Hospital or Nursing Home Admissions
Reading Time: 2 minutes
If your loved one is a resident within an assisted living community, it could be beneficial to know more about their memory care community. A study published in the Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, titled Memory Care Reduces Nursing Home Admissions Among Assisted-Living Residents with Dementia reports findings that residents in memory care were less likely to have any hospital or nursing home admission within the first 180 days in assisted living. The study found that differences in care processes in memory care that help residents avoid transfer may be a significant factor in their findings.
