Home Management Blog

An important part of senior care management is knowing what types of housing may be available for your loved ones. There are actually several different types in the state of Washington, as well as throughout the country. The type that you choose should be based on the needs of the person who needs care.

Retirement communities are a great option for those who still mostly care for themselves. These communities allow people to still be independent, while keep help close by.

Assisted Living Centers are similar to retirement communities, but offer a higher level of monitoring and care. These centers still allow plenty of independence, but your loved one will be closely monitored.

Skilled nursing homes are for those that have health problems and need to have access to medical attention at all times. Your loved one will be monitored and cared for by a nurse, and will be cared for in any way they need. All medications and doctor visits will be taken care of onsite.

Adult family homes and special facilities for those who suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia are also available. Adult family homes are private homes that are owned by registered nurses who will take your family member into their home and provide the care that they need. A Seattle senior housing referral will point you in the direction of the specific type of housing that you need.
