Assisted living provides housing and support services for seniors and individuals who require assistance with daily activities – such as meals, housekeeping, transportation, dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting, transferring, and medication management – without the need for round-the-clock medical care.

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other memory-related issues. It offers structured environments and activities aimed at enhancing cognitive function and ensuring safety.

Signs that may indicate the need for assistance include difficulty with daily activities, forgetfulness, social withdrawal, or safety concerns at home. An assessment from a healthcare professional can provide valuable insights.

Services and Amenities

Services usually include meals, housekeeping, transportation, personal care assistance, and recreational activities.

Memory care communities provide cognitive therapies, secure facilities to prevent wandering, specially trained staff, and structured daily routines.

The Carriages of Bloomington partners with a variety of medical providers to provide optional medical services on-site for our residents. This includes a Nurse Practitioner, Physical/Occupational/Speech Therapy, and Podiatry.

Costs and Payment

Costs can vary significantly based on location, facility, and the level of care needed. It is important to inquire about all fees and the specific services included.

Payment methods may include private pay, long-term care insurance, and veterans’ benefits.

Transitioning to Care

Transitioning can be an emotional process. Open communication, visiting the community together, and maintaining routines where possible can help ease the transition.

Families and seniors may hesitate to make a change, but delaying could result in not meeting residency requirements. An assessment is typically necessary to determine which daily living activities a senior can perform and assess eligibility for assisted living.
