People who were concerned about the plight of frailty that accompanies old age developed the Independent Living Assistance program. It addresses the challenges and personal needs that may arise as people age. Performing tasks of everyday life can be difficult or even dangerous, particularly for people who may have a variety of health issues. The services provided are flexible to fit each individual’s needs. Services can span from once a week to around-the-clock care seven days per week.
Independent Living Assistance covers a wide range of services, some of which are:
* Assistance with banking
* Assistance with health insurance and applying for programs such as disability or social security
* Helping to identify and access community resources that will meet that individual’s needs
* Retrieving mail from the mailbox
* Arranging appointments
* Providing daily telephone calls to remind individuals to take their medications or to just check up on them
* Bathing and personal hygiene
* Dressing
* Grooming
* Shopping and delivering groceries
* Running errands
* Light household tasks
* Meal preparation
* Delivering hot nutritious meals (providing nutrition to prevent health deterioration)
* Companionship
* And many other services tailored to individual needs
This assistance offers affordable choices for creating safe, easy, and comfortable living conditions whether the individual resides in a private home or apartment, a retirement community, a hospital, or even a rehabilitation facility. Senior living options can change a person’s life for the better.
Independent Living Assistance (dependent on the caregiver) also provides assistance to those with dementia or Alzheimer’s, as well as convalescent care. No matter what the needs of the elderly they serve, there are programs to provide assistance.
