As you look into your retirement living alternatives, you will see that there are various sorts of retirement communities to choose from. Active senior homes, 55+ communities, and independent living communities cater to older persons who want to live an active and stimulating lifestyle. If you ever need medical attention, selected types of retirement communities may have it. In this article, we will look into these senior living options in Richmond, VA: independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care.
Independent Living
Elderly communities for independent living are meant to allow strong, functional older persons to participate in leisure, intellectual, and social interaction with others their age. These communities are frequently age-restricted.
Discovery Village At The West End encompasses an independent living community in a modern setting. Spacious suites and cozy apartment units provide a comfortable space for our energetic elders. Cleaning and administrative services are among the resort-style luxuries we provide at Richmond, allowing mom or dad to rest from chores and enjoy life.
Assisted Living
Most elders want to age in place, but it is not always the safest choice. It’s time to reconsider aging in place if an individual seems unable to handle their daily activities, such as bathing, paying bills, and taking medicines.
Our senior assisted living program at Discovery Village At The West End aims to give a loving, comforting environment for elders who require extra support with daily living responsibilities. You will enjoy confidence in the fact that mom or dad has access to care from our knowledgeable team members 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Memory Care
When caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease becomes challenging, memory care may be an option. Memory care is a type of residential long-term care that offers persons with memory problems with extensive, advanced care. Memory care is available at many assisted living complexes, continuing care retirement communities, and old folks’ homes for dementia patients.
Our SHINE® Memory Care Program at Discovery Village At The West End provides long-term care to meet the requirements of your parents in a supervised setting where support with daily living tasks and health monitoring are easily accessible. A complete day of programs is also organized to engage residents in something significant and purposeful that will improve their quality of life.
Respite Care
Respite care gives the main caregiver a much-needed breather from the pressures of caring for an ill, aged, or handicapped loved one. Respite care can be provided in the comfort of your own home, in daycares, or in retirement or nursing centers that provide overnight stays.
Discovery Village At The West End’s senior respite care is suitable for elders who require a brief stay in our retirement community. You are allowed to resume providing for mom or dad after taking a break with senior respite care. While you are gone, you can rest easy knowing that your dear one is in the good hands of our skilled team members.
We’ve built a resident-focused senior living environment at Discovery Village At The West End that centers on your family member’s requirements and total well-being. We provide world-class services, elegant apartment houses, excellent social and leisure events, fitness and wellness programs for an extraordinary lifestyle you can trust.
