If you’ve tried having a caregiver come into your elderly family member’s home with little success or noticed that the person needs more assistance, then you could consider a senior living facility. Residents can usually live as though they would at home while having someone available who can keep an eye on them 24 hours a day in a secure setting.
Medications
When residents stay in a facility that offers senior living in Utah County, they will usually receive help with medications. An assessment is typically made of each resident upon arrival to get a better idea of the person’s health and to review medications that are taken. Someone usually makes rounds in the morning and in the evening to provide necessary medications that need to be taken as well as giving them throughout the day to those who need them more often.
Personal Care
There are numerous types of personal care assistance that residents can expect from senior living in Utah County with most based on their level of need. Workers at the facility can help with bathing, getting dressed, hair care, toiletry needs, and eating. Residents are provided with the same environment that they would have if they were still at home so that they are as comfortable as possible but with help if it’s needed.
Activities
Many facilities offer outings for residents so that they get out of the building during the week. There are usually holiday parties and birthday celebrations as well as special events during the week to keep residents as physically and mentally active as possible.
