Assisted Living Apartments in Rockville Excellent Care & Independence

Assisted living communities are a form of senior housing where residents receive long-term care with support from a specially trained team. Some residences, like those at Charles E. Smith Life Communities, offer private assisted living apartments where support is provided as needed.

While Medicare often covers those who need the support of skilled nursing, it does not cover nursing home care or other forms of long-term care. In fact, many older adults cover the cost of assisted living with social security, private funds, or even long-term care insurance.

A question we’re often asked is, “Who needs assisted living?” The answer is unique to each individual’s personal circumstances, but usually we find those who need assisted living are older adults who require help with activities of daily living; those who need support after an illness or injury; those who are isolated and have become lonely; those whose care needs have surpassed their caregiver’s abilities; and those who may need help with managing medications, bills and other tasks.

This does not always mean a loved one requires assisted living, but often it provides both the resident and their family added peace of mind knowing everyone is as joyful and healthy as possible.

Yes, you can leave assisted living – in fact, there are a number of reasons why families do. Assisted living residents or their families may choose a different community, they may opt for homecare, a family member may decide to care for them, or they may require more care than is provided in their current community. These decisions all come down to what is best for the assisted living resident and their family.

Have you or a loved one lived in assisted living and had memory loss become a more prominent problem? If so, it could be beneficial to move from assisted living to memory care. Charles E.
