Your Guide to Senior Living

Determining the best senior living option for you is a significant decision. The right choice is often a combination of your personal preferences and any assistance you may need. 

For a more personalized recommendation, we encourage you to take the senior living assessment. This will help you to explore your options and make an informed decision about your future.

All options offer older adults the opportunity for socialization and connection through shared activities, restaurant-style dining, outdoor spaces, and common gathering areas. In addition, the following care services are available in independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities.

Independent Living
Independent living is for older adults who don't require daily personal care assistance. These services focus on a stress-free, maintenance-free life. This includes:

• Housekeeping
• Laundry
• Apartment maintenance
• Chef-prepared meals
• On-site occupational and physical therapies

• Assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, and mobility

How are care plans developed and updated?
Care plans are developed through a personalized assessment when a resident first moves in. With this assessment, we're able to understand your unique needs, preferences, and interests. The goal is to create a tailored experience, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Care plans are regularly updated to meet the evolving needs of each resident, especially in assisted living and memory care communities.

Is the family involved?
Cedarhurst emphasizes building relationships and trust with both residents and their families. The Pair to Prepare^® program, for example, allows a family member to stay with a new resident for the first few days to help them settle in and get a firsthand look at daily life. This also gives families a chance to meet the team members and ask questions. 

Your "level of care" is a way of describing the amount of personalized assistance you may need with daily activities, such as getting dressed or managing your medications. It's determined by a thorough, personalized assessment conducted by a Cedarhurst nurse. This assessment helps us understand your unique situation so we can create a care plan that’s just right for you.

We know that needs can change over time. That's why your care plan is never set in stone. We regularly reevaluate the care you receive to ensure it continues to be the best fit. If your needs increase or decrease, we adjust your care plan accordingly.
