Senior care lifestyles available in Dundas
Independent living homes in Dundas provide both the advantages of living independently in an apartment and the availability of services and amenities.
Assisted living facilities are meant for seniors who need some assistance with daily activities. Some facilities provide help with medication and nursing if needed. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. Assisted living bridges the gap between independent living and nursing homes.
A long term care home is suited to seniors who need regular care and medication. Long-term care homes are sometimes known as nursing homes; these offer the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital.
Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer independent homes for residents. Continuing care retirement facilities combine independent living, assisted living and nursing care under one roof. Memory care (for Alzheimer's and dementia) and respite care are available in specialized retirement homes.
The retirement homes in Dundas create a service plan for you upon admission. The service plan details the personalized services or medication required by the resident. The plan is updated regularly to assure that the resident receives the appropriate care as his or her condition changes. The Ontario Retirement Communities Association (ORCA) membership ensures that retirement homes meet the highest professional industry standards in the province.
