Assisted living is a level of care for folks who need help with the activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing, taking medications, bathing, or eating. With nursing staff available seven days a week, we’ll make sure all of your needs are taken care of while also encouraging independence. You’ll still make all the decisions about how you spend your time. Whether that means gathering for crafts, attending mass or other spiritual services, or playing bingo with new friends—you’re in control.
What Is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is the perfect option for senior adults who need a little more help. At The Arbors and The Ivy, we offer senior living options that ensure our residents have access to everything that makes them feel like dignified adults. This means regular access to:
- A luxury community with a private apartment
- Weekly housekeeping
- Group outings
- Movie nights
- Spiritual services
- Arts and crafts
- Our beauty salon and barber shop
- On-site physical and occupational therapies from third party healthcare professionals
- Audiology and podiatry
- 24/7 nursing staff
- Emergency call system
- Library and computer
- Nutritional counseling
- Educational programs
- Delicious “anytime dining” or room service
At The Arbors and The Ivy, we get to know our residents personally, because we know that’s what we’d want for our family members. We also pair new residents with a resident ambassador who will become like a best friend, attending meals and social events with you until you feel comfortable. Often the bond formed during this time lasts for years.
The Benefits of Assisted Living Communities
Assisted living means older adults can get the help with activities of daily living and enjoy the benefits of being in community with their peers. Our residences are created with comfort and happiness in mind. Some benefits of assisted senior living include:
- Regular access to care – In assisted senior living communities, residents have access to 24/7 care. And as their needs change, our team will adjust their service plan, doing whatever needed to keep you or your loved one comfortable. That could mean increased monitoring of health or transitioning to memory care services.
- Social engagement – Isolation is a real concern for seniors. After the loss of a spouse or family members move away, seniors spend more and more time alone. Our communities provide the social-emotional support everyone needs to live their best lives.
- Peace and security – Our residents are given emergency response system pendants as needed and live in a secure environment, offering peace of mind to residents and their families.
- Maintenance-free living – Our residents benefit from the convenience of not having housekeeping duties, yard work, cooking, or anything that might have kept them from free time in the past.
- Pursue wellness and fitness – We prioritize fitness and wellness of all kinds here at The Arbors and The Ivy. From our gym to our walking trails, we have movement opportunities for all activity levels.
- Custom care plans – All our residents are unique. We’ll find out who you are and tailor your care plan to your needs.
While activities and amenities vary by location, our team is committed to making your golden years sparkle. If you’re part of The Arbors and The Ivy family, your senior life is going to shine.
