As an adult child, you want the best for your parents. Yet, it’s not unusual for seniors to live in environments that only prioritize health care. If your loved one is in that situation, they might feel isolated and uninspired.
The trending term “integrated health care” might offer you answers, but what does it really mean? At its core, it’s a holistic approach that coordinates various health and wellness services to optimize patient well-being. It addresses medical concerns but also considers emotional and social needs.
At Ledgestone Senior Living, our assisted living and memory caregiving team members are glad that people are recognizing the importance of integrative health. After all, that’s what we’ve been doing for our residents from the day we opened—with a good helping of Southern hospitality.
What is Integrated Health Care?
The hallmarks of this approach include coordinated care across multiple providers, tailored treatment plans, accessibility to services, emphasis on preventive care, and support for chronic conditions. It also involves resident-centered communication, involvement of caregivers, and integration of physical, mental, and social health resources to enhance overall well-being.
Assisted living and memory care communities like ours aim to leverage integrated services for residents.
About Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities
Assisted living communities are for individuals who require assistance with daily activities like medication management, bathing, and dressing but still desire a level of autonomy. These residents enjoy private apartments, housekeeping services, social activities, and community dining options, making it possible to maintain independent lifestyles. Assisted living caregivers provide support tailored to residents, updating care plans as needed.
Memory care is designed for those living with cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It’s a structured, protected environment where residents can thrive. These communities offer many of the same support services and amenities as assisted living, plus specialized programming aimed at stimulating cognitive function. Both options underscore the importance of integrative health within a supportive environment.
