BridgeWater Assisted Living in Avondale Is Much More Than a Nursing Home
When you think of assisted living in Avondale, your mind may automatically go to thoughts of an Avondale nursing home. But it shouldn’t. Assisted living is much more than a nursing home. There are different features, different amenities, and an entirely different level of care. Not every senior should be living in an Avondale nursing home once they reach a certain age. Assisted living may be a better fit. Here are just some ways that assisted living in Avondale is much more than just an Avondale nursing home and may be a better fit for you.
Residents Have a Say in Their Care
In assisted living, residents are typically able to make their own decisions about the care and services that they need and want. Staff is on-site to provide compassionate care when needed and wanted by the residents. Specifically, at BridgeWater Assisted Living, we have a care team that works with our residents and their families to create a personalized care plan. This care plan lets the residents be as engaged, active, and independent as they want to be and as safely as possible. When it comes to a nursing home, residents typically do not have as much choice or influence.
Residents Have a Say in Daily Activities
Residents should not be isolated in their apartments or rooms unless it’s medically necessary. Because of this, in our assisted living communities, our residents are encouraged to spend as much free time inside or outside of their apartments as they want to. There are also many different activities and events that happen within our assisted living community for residents to take part in. These include wellness activities, exercises, games, and different classes and presentations to help keep minds stimulated. Plus, all residents are encouraged to socialize with each other and have family and friends come to visit.
There Are Customized Levels of Care
When it comes to assisted living, there is no one-size-fits-all solution as is common with nursing homes. Every resident requires a different level of care and has different needs that should be met. At BridgeWater, we have customized levels of care and service to meet each of our resident’s specific needs. This includes assistance and/or reminders with medication management, dressing, grooming, bathing, ambulation, and more.
Additionally, there are weekly housekeeping services for residents to take advantage of as well as dining services. At BridgeWater, we provide three chef-prepared meals each day. These meals are served restaurant-style in our dining room.
These are just a few of the reasons why BridgeWater assisted living in Avondale is much more than just an Avondale nursing home.
