What is assisted living/personal care (KY)? Assisted living/personal care is not a nursing home. It is not independent/retirement living. It is somewhere in between.
Assisted living/personal care is for older adults who do not need intensive medical care but do need some assistance with day-to-day needs. These may include things like:
- Medication assistance and reminders
- Personal grooming assistance, such as bathing or getting dressed
- Assistance with transferring to a bed or chair
- Escorting to meals and events
- Incontinence management
- Transportation to appointments
- Nutritious meals
- Housekeeping
- Laundry
Morning Pointe Senior Living assisted living/personal care communities offer these services, along with caregiving staff available 24/7, a full calendar of social activities, and exercise opportunities.
We’ve built thoughtfully designed, single-level communities so our residents can enjoy both independence and social interaction in a home-like setting, and still have access to onsite help when they need it.
Is assisted living/personal care right for you or your loved one? It might be time to consider if you say yes to any of these questions:
- Is keeping the house and yard maintained becoming too much?
- Are there days when showering or bathing is too hard to do alone?
- Does getting together with friends or family seem like more trouble than it’s worth?
- Is it becoming harder to move around the house safely?
- Are meals eaten regularly?
- Is decision-making becoming too challenging?
- Does driving no longer feel 100 percent safe?
- Have bills and financial obligations fallen behind?
- Is it difficult managing necessary medications?
