While many older adults prefer to age at home, there are some unique instances in which their home environment does not provide safety and comfort.
Assisted living is ideal for those clients with the following:
- Difficulty taking care of themselves, such as grooming and hygiene, or in need of health care services in Minnesota
- A hard time recovering from the death of a spouse or loved one
- Dementia or memory loss
- A home condition unsuitable for them to live safely
- A desire for a hassle-free home maintenance and more free time to socialize
The Administration for Community Living reports 60% of seniors require some form of long-term care, whether at home or in the assisted living community. This is how our residents can find a possible option. We support our client’s unique needs to remain independent in a home-like setting with their activities of daily living (ADL) through the assistance of a home health aide or a nurse. These activities of daily living cover eating, grooming, toileting, and mobility transfer.
Moreover, we have CCTV, a reliable Wi-Fi connection to communicate with family and friends, and a shared community for our clients to meet and greet and make social interaction which is vital to their emotional and mental health. Above all, 24/7 staff are on standby for our clients to remain safe and have peace of mind.
Through the Veterans Administration’s Aid and Attendance program, your surviving spouse may qualify for the service if you meet income eligibility. However, Medicare covers only short-term care, while Medicaid benefits vary by state. If you meet income eligibility, you can use the state insurance to pay for your personal care needs except for your room and board.
Eastern Home Care Inc. continues to find innovative solutions while partnering with some of the best healthcare professionals to provide quality care and support to our growing clients in our assisted community.
