What Level of Care to Expect from Your Assisted Living

October 27th, 2019

Seniors are often unsure about what level of care to expect from Airdrie assisted living. Assisted living is designed for seniors to maintain their independence, and lead an active, social and fulfilling life, while receiving the support and services they need to be well taken care of. Assisted living is often customized to meet the needs of each resident in the Calgary area assisted living community.


What does Assisted Living Offer?


Assisted living is flexible, and can offer a wide care and services. Most assisted living communities offer the following services to their residents:



  • Weekly Laundry and Housekeeping

  • 24/7 Emergency Support

  • Daily Meals

  • Recreational Activities


These services can be customized depending on the level of independence each resident wants. The goal of assisted living is to provide a safe environment where seniors can maintain as much independence as possible.


For most seniors, an assisted living community provides a high enough level of care to meet their needs as they live out the rest of their lives. However, assisted living is not a good option for seniors who require a higher degree of care, such as specific medical conditions like Alzheimers or Parkinsons. For these seniors, a skilled nursing community may be a better option.


Moving into an assisted living community, you should expect the level of care that you believe necessary. If you or a loved one is considering a move to assisted living, make sure to visit HCedarwood Station and see if it is right for you.
