Modern Affordable Housing That Feels Like Home

We share a lot about architecture, and the built environment. We find it fascinating and inspiring, the endless forms that buildings and infrastructure can take. But often times the most fascinating architecture is destined only for the wealthy and well-connected. That doesn’t have to be the case. Studio Libeskind in New York is proving that with new projects like The Atrium at Sumner Houses.…

The Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing Elderly Housing

When it comes to selecting the right elderly housing option for yourself or a loved one, there are several essential factors to consider. Elderly housing encompasses a variety of options, including independent living, assisted living, nursing homes, and more. Here are five key considerations to keep in mind when choosing elderly housing:

IndependentLiving 

Elderly housing options range from fully independent living communities to more intensive care facilities. Independent living is ideal for active seniors who can manage their daily activities but want to enjoy a sense of community, security, and convenience. These communities offer a range of services, such as housekeeping and maintenance, to make life easier for elderly residents. If you or your loved one values social interaction and a maintenance-free lifestyle, independent living is a great choice.

Assessing Health Needs 

For seniors who need some assistance with daily tasks but do not require around-the-clock medical care, assisted living facilities can be the right choice. Assisted living bridges the gap between independent living and nursing homes. It offers services like medication management, help with personal care, and meal preparation while promoting independence. When choosing elderly housing, consider the specific health needs and preferences of the individual to determine if assisted living is the right fit.

Location 

Consider the proximity of the facility to family, friends, and medical services. Easy access to healthcare providers and hospitals can be crucial, especially for seniors with existing health conditions. Additionally, think about the overall environment and whether it aligns with the individual's lifestyle preferences, such as urban or rural settings.

Budgeting

The cost of senior housing can vary widely, so it's essential to have a clear understanding of the financial aspects. Consider the budget and explore various payment options, such as long-term care insurance, Medicaid, or private pay. Understanding the financial implications is essential to ensure that the chosen housing option is sustainable in the long term.

Choosing A Senior Housing Community

One of the biggest decisions facing those who are planning to retire is whether or not to stay in their homes, or to join a senior housing community. And the best way to make a well-informed decision is to have a clear understanding of the kinds of senior housing community available, and if any of them offers a clear advantage over remaining at home.

There is a myriad of factors to be considered before one makes a final decision about a senior housing community. Knowing shat levels of care are available in them can help narrow down the ones which are suitable for each individual.

Different Types of Communities

Those who wish to remain as self-sufficient as possible within a regulated community should look for am independent living senior housing community. These facilities will offer minimal assistance, allowing their residents to maintain a great deal of privacy and the freedom to participate in, or avoid, community activities, as they please.

An assisted living senior housing community is appropriate for those who can function more or less independently, but may for physical or mental reasons, need help with minor tasks like cooking, driving, and taking medication. These facilities have staffed trained to provide the necessary assistance, and many of them will be associated with full care facilities to which a resident can be moved it the need arises.

A full care senior housing community will be a good choice for chronically ill, or exceptionally frail seniors who need constant monitoring. These communities will have medical professionals on staff 24 hours a day to provide hygienic, nutritional, and medical support for the residents.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development--HUD--has a low-income senior housing community option under its Section 202 program. This choice is ideal for those over 62 who can prove that they qualify under the program's financial requirements, but they are very much demand and someone applying may have to remain on a waiting list for as long time.
