How to Choose the Best Senior Citizen Assisted Living Facility

When thinking about a place for senior citizens to live, we want to put the emphasis is on the word live.  All American Assisted Living believes in aging gracefully and seeks to provide all of the amenities and care necessary to make each person’s stay a positive one.

The assisted facility living center at All American Assisted Living was established to give senior citizens a safe and supportive living situation.  Senior citizens suffering from cognitive impairment can also reside at our center, as our staff is trained to provide specialized care, comfort, safety and most importantly empathy for our residents. 

Moving into an assisted living facility is a big move that can be emotional and uncertain; however, sometimes it is the most practical and necessary choice. All American Assisted Living is an independent senior living center that provides each resident with their own apartment and support staff so that residents feel safe yet still independent. 

The staff at All American Assisted Living works together to ensure that each resident gets a home-style meal that is prepared according to the personal physician prescribed guidelines and dietary restrictions.  While every resident has their own living space and personal time, staff encourages all residents to participate in engaging, artistic and cultural activities. On-demand and on-site medical attention is also provided for senior residents who require more physical or emotional attention. Our staff recognizes the importance of maintaining a safe and secure community for our senior citizens.

When choosing an assisted living center, consider the following:

·         Know what facilities you want for both day-to-day living and recreation activities.

·         Make sure that the facility offers or can accommodate the activities that you love or the activities your doctors have prescribed for you.

·         Take a tour of the facility and see the care professionals in action for yourself.

·         Open space is essential for maintaining physical health, be sure that the actual facility appeals to your space requirements.

·         Hygiene and sanitation are indispensible features in an assisted living facility. Make sure that the facility’s standards for cleanliness are on par with your own.

·         Make sure all staff is licensed, qualified and trained, as they will be responsible for dispensing medication and dealing with all types of situations.

·         Being available twenty four hours a day is a prerequisite for any doctor working at a senior citizen resident center, be sure the facility you are looking into has a doctor on call.

·         There should be a healthy ratio of staff members to residents to ensure that all residents are cared for.

·         The resident center must have an injury-free environment and safe neighborhood.

Everyone, regardless of age, deserves an independent, secure and fulfilling life. All American is dedicated to helping individuals live life to the fullest.
