What exactly is assisted living?

Assisted living and memory care communities like Aspen Acres are designed to provide living arrangements to residents who are no longer willing or able to live on their own. There are different levels of care that facilities can provide, ranging from minimal assistance to more comprehensive support. Viewed as the best of both worlds, assisted living is often considered more appealing than nursing homes because it offers a more homelike atmosphere and a community of higher-functioning residents. We also provide residents with as much independence as they want while ensuring that care is always available and nearby on Rock Creek Road in Hayward, WI.

What is the difference between an assisted living facility and a nursing home?

Assisted living and memory care at Aspen Acres is designed for anyone over the age of 55 who still has the ability to maintain some independence and their activities of daily living but can also benefit from assistance. Support is always available and provided, and activities and amenities are a regular part of daily life. Nursing homes are primarily for residents who have a much higher level of physical, emotional and medical needs.

How important is it to learn about a facility before making a decision?

Considering assisted living and memory care options is no easy task, but it should be an integral part of your decision process. The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA), the largest national association dedicated to senior living communities, states that these major life decisions should be made after thorough research into your facility of choice. Independence, respect, privacy, religious freedom, the right to voice grievances when they arise, and attentive and personal care for residents should be essential factors that you consider. At Aspen Acres on Rock Creek Road in Hayward, WI, these attributes are provided simply because we genuinely care about residents and employ staff members who truly enjoy what they do for a living.
