Many seniors, as they get older, require some assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, eating, and dressing. Assisted care facilities or assisted living facilities offer seniors the assistance they need as well as meals, medication monitoring, housekeeping, and transportation services. Seniors that can benefit from assisted care do not have a skilled care need but require assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, eating, and walking. Both Arizona and Nevada have numerous licensed assisted care homes that provide 24-hour care and supervision to seniors. For more detailed information on assisted care homes in Arizona and Nevada visit our website at www.elderop.com.
Arizona care homes offer a continuum of care to the elderly. Assisted living care homes range from 4 to 10 beds and can accommodate seniors along an entire continuum of care from seniors requiring only supervision to bed-bound individuals. These homes differ from nursing homes in that they do not have a registered nurse on staff 24 hours a day and can not accommodate residents requiring IV medications. Arizona and Nevada assisted care homes do, however, offer certified caregivers available 24 hours a day to assist the residents with basic needs such as bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, walking, and medication monitoring.
The residents in Arizona assisted care homes and Nevada assisted care homes either have their own bedroom or share bedroom and are able to enjoy the common areas of the home such as the backyard, living room, dining room and family room with the other residents. This gives residents the opportunity to socialize with each other and participate in recreational activities while still maintaining their dignity and independence. Assisted care homes, although situated in a residential neighborhood, are specially designed to meet the needs of seniors with grab bars in the bathrooms and wheelchair ramps.
