There are of course individual assisted living facilities that are excellent but they may be privately owned. There are also assisted living companies that have a great number of assisted living facilities all under the one company umbrella. Which is better is a decision that only you can make. You will have to visit the various facilities, talk to the folks there, ask questions and even partake in a meal or two. You will also check on the certifications of each of these companies. After all, you are seeking to put a loved one in an assisted living facility. The reason for the proliferation of assisted living companies is of course that our seniors are living longer, and often do not need a nursing home yet. These various companies will provide a more relaxed, independent living incident than the standard nursing home can. Regardless of which assisted living companies you look at, ultimately it is up to you to narrow down the facility. Some facilities have assisted living, as well as respite care. Some assisted living companies even offer different features that will enable your loved one to go from assisted living to their nursing home facilities when more care is needed that what these companies can provide. Some offer specialized care for the dementia challenged resident. They may even have a special facility for those with Alzheimer's, yet still fall under the umbrella of assisted living companies. The varieties of care are almost endless. Of course, all of the various companies make sure to provide fully accessible residential as well as communal areas, so that residents can have access to all areas even if they are in a wheelchair, whereas it may have presented quite a problem if they were back in their residences where they were prior to going to the assisted living facility. Which you choose, ultimately depends on the health of your loved one, of course. If they are already coping with tremendous health problems, yet are still functioning enough for assisted living, then your choice should be an assisted living facility that also has a retirement home or nursing home. By choosing one that has dual facilities, you may make it much easier on your loved one to transfer from one to the other when the time comes, and that's an important consideration. Further, it may save you from having to completely usurp your loved one by having to completely move from one facility to another perhaps cross town or to yet another town.
