If you are lucky when you get older, you will be able to live on your own. If you aren’t so lucky, you may find yourself with age related circumstances that will affect you mental and/or physical functions. If you have a family member who is aging and you worry about their ability to take care of themselves, you will find that you have 3 options that you can consider: skilled in-home nursing care, independent living with you checking in on them or Assisted Living Ossining.
A retirement community is one kind of independent living. A nursing home would be a facility with skilled health care professionals to constantly look after them. If your aging family member falls somewhere between either of these needs, then you might want to take a look at Assisted Living Ossining. Assisted living is a combination of opportunity and freedom. With it, you have independent living along with professional health care. This kind of community provides scheduled house keeping and personal assistance with daily activities. It goes beyond that by providing daily housekeeping and linen services and access to 24-hour 7-days-a-week health care services.
At “The Country House”, you get a vibrant lifestyle that includes an active social schedule, a huge range of coordinated activities daily and a very convenient group of amenities like a barbershop, library and beauty parlor right on site. You also get accompanied outings to cultural sites and a variety of events. Here is a short list of other services that are made available:
Dietary services
Transportation to doctors
Medication management, including vital signs monitoring
24 hour in-house health services
A personal case manager
Rehab and Consultative services such as occupational and speech therapies, lab work, X-rays
If this is the kind of retirement community living that you can see your aging family member being happy with, you should call for an appointment to tour the facility with that family member. Both you and they will see that it isn’t just a nursing home where you go to wait to die. It is a place that lets them live with dignity. They have any help they might need along with an active social life with others in their same age group and health state. What better gift could you give to someone you care about than to let them live out their remaining years with both dignity and the assistance that they need?
