What Does Assisted Living Include?

Historically, assisted living facilities have provided a supportive environment for seniors who need help with daily activities but still want to maintain a certain level of independence. Most offer a variety of services and amenities that cater to the special needs of aging residents.

But what does assisted living include, exactly?

Personalized Care and Assistance

Assisted living facilities typically offer personalized care plans that address the specific needs of each resident. These may include help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management.

Personalized care is at the heart of Kenwood Care’s convenient Howard County homes. Our professional and compassionate staff are on-site 24/7 to assist with daily activities, ensuring that every resident receives the support they need to live comfortably and independently.

Health and Wellness Programs

Health and wellness are crucial components of assisted living. Most facilities provide regular health assessments, coordinated care with healthcare providers, and access to physical and occupational therapy.

At Kenwood Care, we prioritize the health of all residents by offering regular assessments, on-site nursing care, and therapy services. Our team works closely with healthcare providers – including the state’s top-rated memory care, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia specialists. Additionally, diagnostic medical services are available on-premises, ensuring our residents’ medical needs are met promptly and effectively.

Nutritious Meals

Dining services in assisted living homes generally include three nutritious meals a day, with options that cater to myriad dietary restrictions and preferences. Many assisted living homes offer meals in a communal setting to encourage social interaction.

Kenwood Care prides itself on offering nutritionally balanced dining options that not only cater to the needs of increasingly “picky” eaters but also stir dormant memories of home with nostalgic scents and flavors of days gone by – a particularly impactful feat for patients with memory issues.

Activities and Social Events

Engagement in social activities and events is essential for the mental and emotional well-being of our seniors. Assisted living facilities tend to offer a range of activities such as arts and crafts, music therapy, and social outings.

Kenwood Care is no exception. We understand that physical and mental stimulation are crucial to our guests’ happiness and provide residents with a full roster of enriching activities, from exercise classes to educational workshops and more. Our activities, led by three dedicated activities coordinators, are designed to keep residents mentally and physically active while promoting social connections.

Comfortable Living Arrangements

They say home is where the heart is.

At Kenwood Care, our four residential homes are designed to make our residents feel as close to home as possible while providing as much or as little assistance as required. Our private and semi-private rooms are well-furnished, allowing seniors a quiet place to relax or perhaps chat with a roommate. Public areas are equipped for both group and individual activities, allowing for equal measures of privacy or social interaction.

Safety and Security

Safety is perhaps the most critical aspect of assisted living. For this reason, facilities are equipped with security systems, emergency response systems, and secure entrances and exits to ensure the safety of residents.

Kenwood Care takes the safety of our residents seriously. Around-the-clock monitoring, secure entrances, and meticulous check-in protocols provide families with peace of mind.

The Kenwood Care Difference: All-Inclusive Fixed Rate

Kenwood Care’s biggest differentiator is our all-inclusive, fixed-rate pricing. Except for medications, personal care items (toothpaste, etc.), incontinence supplies, and supplementary dietary products, all facets of care are provided in-house, and we do not charge entrance fees, additional fees, or rate increases. Ever.

This transparent pricing model provides families with financial predictability and peace of mind, ensuring that all the comprehensive services and exceptional care are included without any hidden fees or unexpected charges. With financial uncertainties taken out of the equation, residents and their families can concentrate on what truly matters – their relationships and enjoying the quality of life Kenwood Care works diligently to provide.

So, what does assisted living include? At Kenwood Care, everything. And more.
