What is assisted living?
Assisted living is ideal for people who can still live independently but need extra assistance with activities of daily living such as taking medication, bathing, dressing, making meals, housekeeping, transportation and other everyday needs. Our trained, caring staff members provide individualized support designed to help each resident maintain their highest level of independence and we have a nurse on staff 24/7.
How do I know when someone needs assisted living?
In general, it’s best to start with a physician’s assessment. Depending on your situation, or that of your loved one, you can find the right level of assistance. When help with daily tasks is needed an assisted living residence can be the answer. Trained professionals provide assistance while helping preserve your independence.
Does insurance pay for assisted living?
No, insurance is for short-term rehabilitation in a nursing home after a hospital stay.
Are there visiting hours?
Guests and family members are welcome to visit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How does assisted living at The Club differ from a nursing home?
Nursing homes are for skilled therapy after a hospital stay and generally more of a clinical setting. The Club is a home for your loved one with all private apartments. The Club furnishes the apartments with refrigerators and microwaves which are generally not allowed in nursing home rooms.
What is the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?
According to the National Institute on Aging, dementia refers to the loss of cognitive functions — such as thinking, reasoning and the ability to remember — that is severe enough to interfere with a person’s daily functioning. While dementia isn’t a disease, it may accompany certain diseases or conditions, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disease that specifically affects parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than six million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s disease. Although younger people can get Alzheimer’s, symptoms generally begin after age 60.
How is memory care different from assisted living?
Every aspect of memory care — from staffing to dining and activities — is designed around the unique needs of people experiencing memory loss. Specially trained professionals work hand in hand with the individual and their family members to create structure, familiar schedules and surroundings, all in a secure environment that promotes a sense of purpose and accomplishment.
Is staffing different in memory care?
Yes. Staff members are specially trained to care for people experiencing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. And these special caregivers carry with them a compassionate temperament and a passion for providing dignified, respectful memory care to individuals and their families. The staffing ratio in memory care is typically higher than in assisted living.
Can I bring my own furniture and decor?
Making your apartment feel like home is important to us, too. Residents bring their favorite things and furniture to make the space their own. The Club does supply TVs for each apartment.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, we allow dogs, cats and fish.
