Assisted living is a great option for seniors who need extra support or who need assistance with day-to-day tasks. Every senior is different and each situation is unique. However, there are a few signs that assisted living could be the best (and healthiest) next decision for you or your loved one.

Regularly feeling unstable or experiencing a recent fall, chronic pain or other conditions that are becoming harder to manage, feelings of loneliness or isolation—especially when you still want to be social: these are all characteristics of someone who would benefit from a move into an assisted living community. If you’re trying to determine if the time is right, give us a call; our team is here to help!

Aside from kitchenette appliances, the assisted living apartments at The Arbor at Delray do not come furnished.

Both options can foster independence, ease caregiver stress and help seniors live longer, healthier lives. You can have your own private apartment in each living arrangement, but there are also important differences. 

Independent living at The Arbor at Delray is all about lifestyle preference—not a form of senior care. It can provide some peace of mind to seniors who no longer feel comfortable living alone, or who are looking for a more active community to call home. Independent living communities are usually more affordable, but unlikely to be covered by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance. Involvement with staff is largely dependent on your preferences, and this senior living option does not provide access to medical or nursing care.

Assisted living is a good option for people who are no longer able to live alone, but do not need intensive nursing care. Residents still enjoy privacy and independence, but help is available 24/7 with the simple push of a button, and our team members will assist them with basic life tasks. Assisted living typically costs more than independent living, but is more likely to be covered by long-term-care insurance, employee benefits programs and Medicaid.
