6 Levels of Care in Assisted Living At Beehive Homes of Gainesville

Assisted living is a term that encompasses everything from residential care to more service-rich environments. However, the truth is that assisted living facilities offer a range of support options to address changing needs in residents. Let's talk about what types of care assisted living communities usually offer - and we will be using the model that Beehive Homes typically follows as our example:-

Assisted Living Care Levels Explained

It is important to note that different levels of care are offered in each individual assisted living facility. Beehive Homes of Gainesville is committed to providing an individualized approach, aimed at meeting personal needs. Regardless, we can classify kinds of care on a general level to make it less of an amalgamation.

Level 1: Independent Living

At this tier, residents receive all that independent living can offer as well the safety and services of an assisted living community. They are capable of doing activities of daily living with minimal help but enjoy services such as housekeeping, maintenance and social events.

Level 2: Assisted Living

Tier Two Residents in this category of care need limited assistance with daily living activities, bathing, showering, dressing but should be capable of handling their own medication. Beehive Homes offers Care Services to keep residents active, independent and enjoying the quality of life.

Level 3: Memory Care

This level of care offers treatment specifically for individuals with Alzheimer's disease or another related dementia. Beehive Homes of Gainesville is committed to the development and implementation of specialized memory care programs. We have a trained staff that specifically aims to provide compassionate care and support.

Level 4: High Support Assisted Living

These are for its citizens that need more attention to day-to-day living activities. Our residents benefit from a personalized living environment like no other, as well as individually-tailored care plans that go beyond medication administration and personal-care assistance to mobility help if required.

Level 5: Hospice Care

Though not always an amenity provided within assisted living, hospice care can be found at some facilities such as Beehive Homes. This level of care is specifically for comfort and support to individuals with end-stage diseases.

Level 6: Respite Care

One might expect from the name that respite care means just exactly what is implied, an opportunity for the person providing the care to take a break. Beehive Homes of Gainesville welcomes family members to take a break themselves while older adults this time are given top quality assistance.

These are, of course, broad and general benchmarks, different things may feel best for you. What kind of help each individual receives will depend upon their particular needs and what’s offered at the assisted living facility. Beehive Homes strives to be a continuum of care so that residents may age in place with grace.
