Most seniors searching for senior living ranked easily accessible clinical care as one of their top priorities in a 2016 Advisory Board survey. As a general rule, senior living communities are not licensed to provide onsite clinical care. Rather, assisted living offers residents personal care, and arrangements can be made with third-party providers for various types of clinical care.
There are, however, a few exceptions to that rule. For instance, The Arbor at BridgeMill offers onsite clinical services like podiatry and dental care. Additionally, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and age- and ability-appropriate exercise programs are available through the community’s wellness center. Otherwise, residents can also request transportation to outside medical appointments as well.
Senior living in Canton that offers a range of senior living options and varying levels of care not only ensure that individual needs are met, but they also ensure that those communities remain affordable by only providing residents the care they need, when they need it.
Monthly rates for senior living vary greatly across the country and even within individual states and communities. Location, of course, plays a role in determining costs, but individual care needs and dwelling floor plans have an equally important effect on cost. As a general rule, more options mean more ability to control costs. Look for communities that offer a range of floor plans at different price points and customized care plans to help achieve that.
Trying to find a senior living community that checks all the boxes in terms of needed care, price flexibility, rooming preferences, and dining can be an overwhelming experience for seniors and their loved ones. Keep in mind that senior living staff can help guide and inform the search. Learn more about The Arbor at BridgeMill and schedule an appointment today.
