ASSISTED AND INDEPENDENT LIVING
Westchester and neighboring counties continue to have a wide variety of senior living communities and retirement residences to choose from, with new ones continuing to open. But they are not all the same, especially when it comes to services, amenities and general environment. To help you maneuver through all the information and choices out there, a first step is to understand the language used to help you differentiate between senior living options when exploring the possibilities:
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) accommodate the changing needs of residents. At a CCRC, an individual (or couple) may start off in independent living and then move into assisted living or nursing care if it becomes necessary. All the while, the person stays on one main campus which offers the continuum. Independent Senior Living refers to apartment-dwelling in a senior community. Residents live independently and may be offered services such as meals and housekeeping. For those who need some help, there is Assisted Living. Meals, recreation, outings, and other programs are offered in addition to assistance with daily activities, nurses available 24/7 and wellness programs. Communities may even have indoor pools and other state-of-the-art equipment. Not all assisted living communities provide Memory Care services, while others specialize in this care. Respite Care provides caregivers a needed break and the time to focus on their own health and wellbeing: for themselves and for their loved ones. Hired caregivers can come into the home to provide respite for short or long periods of time. Alternatively, many assisted living residences provide respite care as well. Call the assisted livings to find out which ones offer one-week or extended stays.

NURSING HOMES & REHABILITATION
You may not be ready to return home when discharged from a hospital stay. Perhaps you need assistance with a medication issue or are unable to manage stairs. If that’s the case, there is the option to go to a skilled nursing facility (SNF), where a doctor supervises care and physical therapy is available along with other services. After a three-day hospital admission, stays at a SNF will usually be 100% covered for 20 days for those on Medicare. For those needing long-term skilled nursing care, nursing homes are an important and available option, with several described below:
