Communities
Southern California has many facilities and communities available for your needs. We’ll help you get to the new home that makes the most sense for you.
Independent Living
Independent living communities are for seniors who don’t need assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or food preparation. This option is for seniors who are looking for a living environment that offers additional support, onsite amenities, socializing opportunities and activities.
Assisted Living
Assisted living facilities are for seniors who have minimal needs for assistance with daily living and care. The general purpose is to help adults live independently in a safe environment.
Nursing Homes
Nursing homes or skilled living facilities provide hands-on assistance with most activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, hygiene, food prep) for people who can no longer live on their own without substantial assistance. Expect rooms instead of apartments, and personal care assistance including administration of medications included in the base fees.
Continuing Care
Continuing Care communities are a retirement community where your continuum of aging care needs (from independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care) can all be met within the same facility or campus.
Life Care
Life Care communities are a continuing care retirement community. Life Care provides seniors with the opportunity to pay an upfront fee to receive guaranteed care for life. The guarantee means that you’ll be able to receive quality health care, accommodations, onsite amenities and services even if your financial resources are exhausted through no fault of your own. There are many conditions to this offer, and we recommend having a lawyer review the agreement.
Memory Care
Memory Care is a specialized form of care for seniors struggling with memory loss due to dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or other cognitive impairments. Specially trained staff members deliver personalized care focused on keeping your loved one comfortable, engaged, and safe.
In most senior communities you can expect some or all of this:
- Restaurant style meals
- More physical activity
- New friends and peer groups your own age
- Group activities
- Privacy when you want it
- Transportation provided, or bring your own car
- Single cost pricing
- Family no longer having to act as a caregiver
- Safety, and access to help in an emergency
