Highland Place: Personalized Assisted Living for Seniors

Studies from the Mather Institute found that 69% of all seniors say that transitioning to community living improved their quality of life. There are many likely reasons for this, including accessible amenities and social programs.

To reap these benefits, choosing a compassionate care community is essential. Highland Place Assisted Living offers top assisted living in Florida to ensure that residents are comfortable and happy.

Read on to learn some benefits of choosing the best-assisted living community in Inverness, FL!

Help With Daily Tasks

Though Columbia University reports that 27% of seniors live alone, this can be detrimental to their health. Older adults are less mobile, and 42% suffer from cognitive decline as well.

Assisted living communities help those with mobility and cognitive issues thrive.

This involves offering assistance with tasks like:

• Choosing clothes and getting dressed
• Personal hygiene activities like brushing teeth and hair
• Using the bathroom when residents cannot do so independently
• Getting into and out of bed or seating areas in the apartment
• Getting to and from community amenities and events
• Managing medication to ensure that residents have their health needs met

This minimizes the likelihood of injury. It also helps seniors maintain a consistent schedule that enhances mental health.

Personalized Assisted Living in Florida

No two seniors in an assisted living community have exactly the same needs. For example, your loved one may struggle with mobility but have a sharp mind and memory. Their neighbor may be able to get around fine but have memory-related problems.

These individuals would not thrive under one-size-fits-all care. Luckily, Highland Place Assisted Living is well aware of this.

We consult with new residents and their families before moving in. These consultations include:

• Discussions with families about what the new resident is struggling with
• Asking the resident themself how our caregivers can improve their day-to-day life so they can thrive
• Talking about what the new resident can do on their own
• Determining what level of support would improve the senior's quality of life
• Creating an individually tailored care plan that addresses all their unique needs while letting them live as independently as possible

Adapting Plans Over Time

A retirement community in Florida, residents can thrive in understanding that senior's needs change over time.

Because of this, all personalized care plans are subject to change. They're made to be adaptable.

As needs shift and residents require different support, compassionate caregivers develop expert-approved ways to amend care plans. They may add new daily activities to the plan. They may also change plans when seniors start new medications or shift their schedules.

Throughout this process, senior care services in Highland Place will inform families of changes. You won't be left to wonder what level of care your loved one is getting.
