Latest Trends In Assisted Living Facilities
by John Parker SeniorHabitatASSISTED LIVING TREND #1: WELLNESS
PROGRAMS TO ENHANCE AND PROMOTE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
To meet the needs of a growing ageing population, many assisted living have developed wellness programs that promote well-being
and health among their residents. Facilities have incorporated an assortment of
recreational activities and education classes. Amenities and services may
include the accessibility of onsite massage therapy, exercise equipment made
specifically for seniors, computer training with specialized hardware and
larger screens. These amenities enhance the general well being of residents and
draws in new residents who are progressively devoted to keeping up their active
lifestyle.
ASSISTED LIVING TREND #2: LARGER
APARTMENTS AND INCREASED APARTMENT AMENITIES
The quantity of flats in assisted living facilities in NJ has diminished from a
nationwide average of 63 to 54. This statistics reflects a pattern of joining
two condos with a specific end goal to suit inhabitants who incline toward bigger
living spaces. Though studios used to be the most sorted room size in an
assisted living, one-room units are becoming more popular. A larger room allows
residents to keep a greater amount of their furniture, which makes it easier
for their new environment to feel like home. Also, larger rooms are more
popular because many couples are now moving into assisted facilities together.
Amenities include kitchenettes with microwaves and small refrigerators, walk-in
closets, high ceilings, and balconies.
ASSISTED LIVING TREND #3: INCREASED
FLEXIBILITY IN FINANCING ASSISTED LIVING
In light of current economic
conditions, an expanding number of assisted communities are taking part in
Medicaid. According to the Assisted Living Federation of America, almost 50% of
assisted care providers have authorized up to 25% of their apartments for
Medicaid. Other communities that may not acknowledge Medicaid are partnering
with organizations that provide financing choices, for example, a credit
extension to encourage move-ins before home sales. These sorts of choices are
exceptionally useful to seniors who are dependent on the equity in their homes to
afford assisted living.
Assisted living facilities provide
peace of mind to family caregivers and allow seniors to remain independent in
their community. Families no longer have
to worry about their loved ones’ safety and well-being. At the same time, seniors
can maintain their independence without worrying about chores like cooking, cleaning,
and moving.
