Louisville, Kentucky offers a long list of senior living options. Here’s how to choose the right senior living community for you or a loved one.
In the world of senior living, there are many terms, and it can be confusing to differentiate between them. You’ve likely heard of independent living and assisted living facilities, but what if there was an additional option?
Senior living in Louisville offers residential care in many different forms. Personal care homes as an example are an additional choice worth exploring.
Let’s examine some key ways that personal care and assisted living in Louisville, KY differ and how you can choose the best option for your loved one.
The Difference Between Assisted Living and Personal Care
Unlike most assisted living communities, those like The Grand are licensed to offer personal care services and do more for your loved one, like providing continually available nursing care.
Having compassionate team members available 24/7 allows residents to be more independent and gives family members the peace of mind that their loved ones’ needs are met.
Assisted living communities are primarily designed for senior adults who need a social environment. They serve as social models where residents might have medical conditions but can largely manage their lives independently. These communities offer assistance with daily activities and help with self-administering medications.
Personal care homes offer continuous supervision, basic health and health-related services, personal care assistance, residential care, and various social and recreational activities.
In addition to the services listed above, personal care at The Grand Senior Living includes:
- Weekly housekeeping
- Personal laundry and linen service
- As-needed, personalized assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, transferring, and incontinence
- Concierge service
- Scheduled transportation
- The option to transition to memory care in The Cottage
Recent data from the Genworth Cost of Care survey notes the average cost of assisted living in Louisville is over $5,300 per month. Personal care in Kentucky offers a similar price. Plus, there are many ways to offset living expenses.
