As people age, everyday tasks can become more challenging, disrupting our ability to maintain a high quality of life.
One possible solution to this challenge is assisted living: a community lifestyle that offers personalized support in balance with independence, providing opportunities for social engagement and enhancing quality of life.
For instance, the services and amenities available at Frontida can make day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable for seniors and their families.
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a long-term care option designed for older adults who require some assistance with day-to-day tasks, but not to the extent of a nursing home.
At Frontida, we describe assisted living as a spectrum of long-term care services that provide housing, personal support, and medical care to people who are unable to live completely independently. Our residents can pursue their passions while receiving the support they need.
We believe in doing senior living differently. We’ve created a community environment built on trust and kindness; we want our entire community to thrive.
Is It Time for Assisted Living?
Deciding when it’s time to move to an assisted living community can be challenging. You or a loved one may want to consider it if you:
- Struggle with daily personal care tasks like showering & getting dressed
- Find tasks like cooking, cleaning, & home maintenance increasingly hard
- Are concerned about falls & injuries
- Have trouble keeping track of medical appointments & medications
- Experience behavioral issues or memory loss
- Would like more social engagement & the company of peers
When you’re weighing the decision about assisted living, reaching out to a healthcare provider or a care expert can provide helpful information and clarity.
Benefits of Assisted Living
Assisted living offers many features that can enhance an older adult’s quality of life. From personalized care to engaging activities, many seniors live vibrant and fulfilling lives in assisted living communities.
Personalized Care
Everyone is different. Newcomers to assisted living typically receive a personalized care plan tailored to their needs.
Communities should also update these plans as needs change. Care plans can include health and medication information, the types of assistance needed, and other unique requirements and preferences.
Residents in all Frontida communities receive custom care plans. These care plans are designed to empower residents to thrive.
24-Hour Support
Worrying about your loved one when they’re not with you, especially at night, is a common and understandable concern. Likewise, older adults may worry about not receiving help if they are involved in an accident.
We provide 24-hour supervision at Frontida communities. Our memory care communities also include secured egress doors. These features help keep residents safe and can ease stress for families.
Accessible Accommodations
Sometimes, residential homes are not designed with older adults in mind. However, in an assisted living community like Frontida, making living spaces accessible and comfortable is a top priority.
Residents of Frontida communities can enjoy apartments that come in a variety of layouts. Our Suites also feature fully accessible private bathrooms.
Residents can enjoy cozy, communal spaces, such as well-maintained outdoor areas, perfect for socializing in warmer seasons. Frontida communities are designed to be tight-knit because we want everyone to experience meaningful connections.
Dining Services
One amazing benefit of assisted living? You no longer have to worry about cooking! So, say goodbye to meal planning, prep, and clean-up. At a place like Frontida, we do all that for you so you can enjoy your meals with less stress and more enjoyment.
Our dining philosophy: All foods can fit in with a healthy eating style!
Other Services & Amenities
Besides dining, assisted living communities like Frontida also offer conveniences like housekeeping and laundry services. Some Frontida locations also feature on-site salons and spas, which alleviate the stress of commuting.
Plus, our outdoor areas are well-maintained, allowing you to enjoy the soothing benefits of nature without worrying about yard work.
Social Engagement & Assisted Living
Older adults who stay engaged enjoy many benefits, including promoting physical, emotional, and cognitive wellness. Meaningful and regular social engagement can lower disease risk, promote a longer lifespan, support mental health, and improve cognitive function.
As we age, it’s essential to continue doing what brings us fulfillment, whether that involves engaging in physical activity, pursuing a hobby, volunteering, or socializing with peers.
The benefit of assisted living is that communities purposefully create numerous opportunities for socialization and connection.
At our Frontida locations, we have staff members known as Life Enrichment Coordinators, whose role is to plan and schedule fun activities for our residents. You’re in a community where there’s always something to do and plenty of people to do it with!
Health & Wellness
At Frontida, we truly understand that each person has unique needs. Some may need a little extra support with daily activities, while others need assistance managing more complex health situations.
Frontida isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We offer multiple levels of care and tailored programs to help our residents receive the support that’s just right for them.
Everyday Health Support
Assisted living residents receive support with activities of daily living. But they can also access registered nurses and our network of physicians, therapists, and specialists.
Memory Care
Memory care may be a good option for older adults with conditions like Alzheimer’s, dementia, or cognitive impairment. With features like delayed egress entrances and exits, our memory care communities are designed with the safety of residents in mind.
Behavioral Health Support
Willowgreen Home in Racine, Wisconsin is a Frontida community that offers behavioral health services. These communities may be suitable for older adults with chronic diagnoses like anxiety, depression, and other co-existing disorders..
Support is also available for seniors who can no longer live independently because of a health concern, such as a stroke.
