Personal care homes are residential homes that are designed with the safety, care, and comfort of their residents in mind. Whilst the range of services offered to residents differs from personal care homes, there are some similarities in most residencies. These services provided are designed to assist our residents in managing acts of daily living and chores that they may find difficult to carry out themselves. Personal care homes are often staffed not just by the individuals who manage the residents’ day-to-day activities, but also health and wellness professionals, and even on-site medical teams that can provide the immediate medical support needed at the drop of a hat. Let us break down what you can expect from a personal care home so you can make an informed decision when it comes to selecting a personal care home for either yourself or your loved ones.
Services Provided by Personal Care Homes
Firstly, most personal care homes will provide basic housekeeping, the catering of meals, and assistance with acts of daily living such as the laundry, management of medication, dressing up, assistance with eating, etc. These services tend to be available at all hours of the day and staff can be called at the push of a button. Do note that the extent of these services however will depend on the home in question as not all personal care homes are made equal.
Some personal care homes will also have access to amenities in the community for residents to enjoy. Again, the level of comfort will depend largely on the residence in question.
Picking a Personal Care Home
Before picking a personal care home for yourself or you loved ones, you should evaluate your or your loved one’s needs and lifestyles. For instance, if customizable and individualized care is important for you, you should identify a residence that takes the time to get to know its residents. If having plenty of activities to take part in and an active community to interact with is something you can’t live without, you may lean towards a residence that caters for fun activities. If delicious and healthy food is your priority, make sure to scope out their dining room before you check in.
