Orchard Ridge Residences is a personal care and memory care community in Dalton, GA. We are ready to welcome you into our community. Let’s take a look at the different types of senior living.
What are the different types of senior living?
The term senior living usually makes one think of nursing homes. But those are only one type. There are several types of senior living communities from which you can choose depending on the services you need.
- Independent living – In an independent living community, no care services are required, but residents are able to take full advantage of the amenities and social activities while living among their peers.
- Personal care – A step up from independent living, personal care communities like Orchard Ridge Residences provide basic assistance for those who need help with activities of daily living—i.e., bathing, dressing, and grooming—while retaining their independence. One difference between personal care and assisted living is that residents in personal care are able to self-evacuate in the event of an emergency.
- Assisted living – These communities are similar to personal care communities due to their levels of services provided. The main difference is that, in the state of Georgia, assisted living residents would receive transfer assistance from associates in event of an emergency.
- Memory care – Memory care communities are designed for seniors who are living with cognitive decline due to Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. These are secure communities that provide structure and predictability in ways that meet the needs of memory care residents. At Orchard Ridge Residences, our stand-alone community, The Grove at Orchard Ridge, provides engagement and consistency. Read more below!
- Skilled nursing home – These are designed for residents with chronic conditions that require around-the-clock care of a nurse. Nursing homes provide medical professionals on-site at all times.
