Care for Assisted Living Residents in Monmouth & Middlesex Counties
When a person lives inside the confines of an Assisted Living Facility, their room and the surrounding shared areas are considered the person’s private home. This differs from the time a person may need to spend in a hospital, a rehabilitation facility, or in a long-term nursing care environment. These facilities fall under the category of “skilled nursing” facilities, while an apartment inside an assisted living facility is considered a residence. Therein lies the distinction when it comes to home care.
Why Consider a Personal Caregiver for Your Resident Loved One?
In certain circumstances, families may feel more comfortable when a loved one is receiving one-on-one personal attention at an assisted living facility. In other cases, families are informed by the facility that their loved one needs to receive more personal attention from a private home health aide. That’s when Visiting Angels gets called.
Typically, the explanation for this request is that the facility's Medical Director and Staff believe that a personal home health aide will more fully assure the safety and timely assistance that a resident requires. When a resident declines physically or cognitively, this is not an unusual request by an assisted living administration. After all, there are many residents, and only so many staff members to help at critical times.
Where Visiting Angels of Matawan Helps
These are the occasions when a personal caregiver from Visiting Angels of Matawan can step in. Our licensed, experienced Home Health Aides will provide the personalized attention an assisted living resident may need. In collaboration with a resident’s family and the facility’s staff, Visiting Angels determines the appropriate schedule of care and helps to assure that all the needs of a resident are met.
The work of a Visiting Angels caregiver inside an assisted living facility is generally no different than that in a private home. The resident enjoys the benefit of having a personal caregiver at their disposal, for bathing, dressing, movement inside the facility (to meals, activities, and for walks etc.), all on the daily schedule the resident and family chooses. The caregiver will be responsible for communication with family and for reporting basic changes and needs to facility management and staff.
