Red Flags When Looking for an Assisted Living Facility
At Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community , we know how difficult it can be to find the right assisted living facility. We strive to create an environment that’s encouraging and supportive, and there’s nothing we’d love more than to provide unrivaled care for those who live with us. Not sure what you should look for in an assisted living facility? We’re sharing red flags to be on the lookout for below.
Red Flag #1: A Lack of Options
When it comes to long term care facilities, a variety of options is a must. For example, at Cedar Hill, we offer independent and assisted living, residential care, short-stay rehabilitation, and more. If the assisted living facility you’re considering doesn’t offer the options you truly need, it’s best to keep searching.
Red Flag #2: A Lack of Services
When seeking a long term care facility, they must provide the services you need. At Cedar Hill, we provide clinical coordination and skilled nursing care as well as physical, occupational, cognitive, and speech therapy. We also have our own doctors, a dentist, podiatrist, and specialist.
Red Flag #3: No Choices for Stages of Care
The best assisted living facilities provide options for each stage of care. Cedar Hill’s Judith Brogren Memory Care Center, for example, offers specialized memory care in a homelike setting. Knowing that your loved one will receive care no matter the circumstances offers peace of mind.
Red Flag #4: No Support for the Transition
At Cedar Hill Continuing Care Community, one of the most important things for us is to be supportive of those transitioning into an independent senior living facility. We know that it can be a challenge, but we offer a number of resources to help along the way. Learn how to make a memory box for your loved one , check out 40 of the best gift ideas for residents , or find out how to get involved in arts and crafts.
At the end of the day, the most important thing to keep in mind when searching for an assisted living facility in your area is that the way you or your loved one feel about it is important. In other words, having peace of mind is crucial — and that’s why the Cedar Hill team works hard to create a space that’s welcoming and encouraging.
