Many challenges come with old age, which is why many seniors choose to move to assisted living communities. These dedicated facilities offer a wide scope of services, and each is unique. To be confident you find the right one for yourself or a loved one, here are some key qualities to look for.

Top Features of an Assisted Living Facility

1. A Strong Track Record

Feel comfortable and safe in your new home by researching the assisted living community before moving in. They should have a strong record of excellence with testimonials to back it. Ensure they’re certified to provide housing and that their medical staff is qualified to care for seniors with special conditions. Check for past instances of abuse or other problems, and speak with their administration directly. They should be happy to answer all your questions and provide support for their excellent track record.

2. Specific Health Care Services

Likewise, if you face mobility issues, caregiver or skilled nursing services may be required day-to-day. Some facilities offer specialized care in a communal setting; others provide private rooms and cater to residents that can take care of themselves and only require minimal assistance.

3. Amenities

The community should feel like home. Many facilities provide 24-hour security, assisted nursing care, weekly visits from medical professionals, and emergency call systems so that seniors always have help available. They should also provide internet, TV, housekeeping services to handle day-to-day tasks, internal activities, opportunities for recreation, and organized outings for residents.
