Independent Living in Irving Texas

Assisted Living Services

Should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services, tailor-made to your needs. We've designed our services to focus on wellness, helping you maintain or improve your health, so you can live as independently as possible. As our family members age, you may notice they need a helping hand. That could mean anything from assistance getting ready for the day to managing medications to preparing meals.

If your loved one needs this type of assistance, it might be time to consider an assisted living community. These communities do not generally offer round-the-clock nursing care, but they are designed to help those that have difficulty caring for themselves. The advantage of assisted living over independent living is the added bonus of a staff that is trained to assist residents with their needs and provide supervision 24 hours a day.

At an assisted living facility, all meals are generally served in a central dining room. In addition, the staff will usually help with transportation arrangements to doctor appointments, and many communities coordinate group excursions for residents. They also offer busy activity calendars to keep residents engaged with other residents.

It’s important to remember that assisted living communities are not all the same. Assisted living facilities can range in size from adult family homes with four to six residents, to large multi-unit communities. Some may have specialized units for Alzheimer’s or dementia care. There can also be big differences in which amenities are included with the rent, and what medical services are provided according to the assisted living facility’s license. Be sure to research those things before signing a contract.

The key points to remember about assisted living communities are that they:

• Can provide direct assistance with everyday tasks, like bathing, dressing and meals
• Have trained staff available and monitoring 24 hours a day
• Help residents maintain their dignity while aging
• May have specialized units for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Can have different licenses allowing for different levels of assistance and independence
• In 2010, the average yearly cost in the US for rent in an assisted living community was $39,000
• For individuals who have Alzheimer’s or dementia conditions, it is important to find specialized care for them in either a dedicated facility, or a special care section in an assisted-living or skilled nursing community.

* Please check with the individual community for specific assisted living services offered.
