There is a wide range of senior housing options available, depending on the needs of the individual. The types of senior living most commonly found are as follows:
Assisted Living
Assisted living offers a mix of independent living with a variety of support services.
Continuing Care
A wide range of senior living accomodations and services are typically offered which are designed to meet the senior’s needs as those needs change over time.
Independent Living
Seniors live in their own individual units, while located within a community of other seniors.
Complex Care
Nursing care is available 24 hours each day. In addition, these residences typically offer many of the same services one would find in an assisted living residence, such as housekeeping, personal care and meal service.
Hospice Care
Hospice care is an approach to supportive end of life care for seniors with a terminal illness. Hospice care includes onsite medical services, palliative care, bereavement counselling, support groups, resident and family member counselling.
Rehabilitation Care
A variety of physical, speech and occupational therapies are offered on an in-patient or out-patient basis. Individuals requiring rehabilitation care often are recovering from an accident or medical incident.
Alzheimer’s Care
These are residences which provide services to aid those living with Alzheimer’s as their condition changes over time.
