Assisted living is a wonderful alternative
for many seniors who need more attentive care than can be provided
at home. However, making the decision for a loved one is often
very difficult and emotional. Often other family members have
strong opinions about what is best. However, staying at home
is not always the best solution, and many loved ones require
more care than you can safely give at home.
At Regency Park, our staff is trained to assess the needs
of prospective residents and will give the decision maker
an honest evaluation of their loved one’s needs, and
whether or not assisted living is the proper solution for
them. The realization that someone we love now needs help
is painful.
Recognizing that assisted living is not a nursing home and
that attentive care in a homelike and supportive environment
can actually add years and improve the quality of life is
the first step.
Decision-makers often have financial concerns too. Many
caretakers are surprised by the affordability of assisted
living. In some cases, it is covered by long-term care insurance
policies and in some cases, parts of the monthly fee can
be tax deductible. In many cases, assisted living can cost
far less than having a companion in the home, is more reliable,
and provides a broad range of services, which cannot be provided
at home.
Comparing Facilities
Many factors are involved in selecting a residence you can
entrust to caring for your loved one. Location, services
offered, social activities, credentials, and of course, cost
can all play a role in your ultimate decision.
At Regency Park, we believe that a fully informed decision-maker
will have the knowledge to select Regency Park from among
other assisted living residences. Specifically, it is our
caring and compassionate staff and atmosphere that sets us
apart from our competition.
We encourage you to visit other buildings. We are confident
that you will conclude that Regency Park is the assisted
living facility of choice.
