ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES

When the health needs of your
loved one become challenging to
handle at home, an assisted living
facility can empower him/her
to live self-sufficiently with the
assurance of receiving assistance
when required. Assisted care
facilities deliver long-term care to
individuals who do not need nurs-
ing care but who may struggle to
live on their own.

ou can choose from two types
of assisted care: personal care
homes and assisted living facili-
ties.

A personal care home is an excel-
lent se ng for individuals who need minimal to moderate assistance with daily activ-
ities. our loved one will share a residential space with one or more individuals, have
meals cooked for him/her, and get help with laundry and other tasks. The assistance
may be provided by a caregiver or family.

An assisted living facility is a housing facility in a community se ng that provides your
loved one assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and monitors his/her health. It
may have care wards serving Alzheimer s and dementia patients.

The basic services you can expect at an assisted
living facility include:

• Daily meals

• Housekeeping

• Laundry

• Transportation

• Access to medical services

• Health and exercise programs

• Social programs

• Security

our loved one will receive assistance with bathing, ge ng dressed and using the bath-
room. The caregiver will ensure that he/she takes her medication on time. Emergency
communication systems at assisted living communities promote resident safety and
satisfaction.

The goal of assisted living residences is to address the needs of all its residents in the
best possible way. Once your loved one moves in, assisted care professionals will under-
stand his/her requirements to chart a customized service plan. Extra services may also
be provided in the future as needs change.

SERVICES OF A HOME HEALTH AGENCY

Sometimes recovery a er a surgery or an illness may take more time and may need the
services of a skilled nurse. Prolonged nursing home or hospital based care can be expen-
sive in the long term.
A more a ordable alternative is to continue to recover at home with the help of regis-
tered and licensed healthcare practitioners.
Home health agencies o er skilled nursing care for people who are home-bound and
require long term healthcare assistance and monitoring.
Home Health Agency (HHA) meets the regulations set by the state and federal agencies.
The agency can be a not-for-profit organization, a public or a private, profit making one.
The HHAs are engaged in providing skilled nursing services and speech, physical and
other therapies.
Medicare covers the home based care, provided your doctor has authorized the same
and the care required is not a constant one.
The agency employs skilled, registered nurses and physicians who monitor the patient s
health and also maintain their clinical record.
HOME HEALTH AGENCIES PROVIDE A RANGE OF HEALTH CARE ASSISTANCE
INCLUDING:
• Monitoring of vital parameters such as blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate.
• Care for pressure ulcers, surgical wound dressing.
• Nutrition therapies including tube feeding or intravenous support.
• Administering other medications and injections prescribed by the doctor.
• Patient education.
• Monitoring of unstable health conditions.
• Act as care coordinators by communicating with doctors and other healthcare providers.

PALLIATIVE & HOSPICE CARE

Hospice care involves providing compassionate end of life care to a person, not expect-
ed to live for six months or less. The focus of hospice care is on providing maximum care
and comfort to the patient in the last phase of life.

Hospice care begins when the physician and the family make the decision to stop the
curative treatment for an incurable condition.

The care can be provided at home or at a hospice center.

Hospice care is managed by an interdisciplinary team that usually involves:
• Family or personal physician

• Hospice physician

• Social workers

• Home health aides

• Therapists including psychotherapists, occupational or speech therapists as needed.

• Clergy or spiritual counselor

The range of services provided by the hospice team includes:
• Management of symptoms

• Pain management

• Emotional support

• Spiritual counseling to deal with faith and death

• Support for the family on caring for the patient

• Provision of special therapies as required including physiotherapy, speech and swal-
lowing.

• Arranging meetings with the family to explain the condition

• Bereavement counseling for family

• Inpatient facilities if required when the symptoms cannot be managed at home

• Coordination of care by all providers

How Is Hospice Di erent From Palliative Care?
Hospice care is end of life care that is focused on providing maximum comfort when
the patient s illness cannot be cured. Hospice care is also given when the patient or the
family have chosen not to pursue treatment either because of lack of benefits or side
e ects.

Palliative care refers to treatment that can be both curative and management of symp-
toms. The illness in palliative care may not be terminal and the care can be given at any
point during the treatment.

Hospice care is covered under Medicare and a certification by a physician as to the life
expectancy being less than six months is required. Palliative care is covered by private
insurance or by charity.
