What is the difference between assisted living and nursing homes?
Assisted living, licensed through the Department of Social Services, is housing for the elderly or persons unable to live independently that will provide mid-level custodial care with ADLs, medication support, lifestyle activities, transportation, and meals. A nursing home is a licensed facility that holds transfer agreements with hospitals for those who require long-term care or short-term rehabilitation services.
-

Yes! At Valley Crest Senior Living, residents and guests enjoy nutritious and delicious meals and snacks prepared daily. Diners are served restaurant-style meals by our courteous and well-trained staff. We accommodate special diets such as mechanical soft, puree, no added salt or sugar, and diabetic diets.
-
Can someone with dementia live in assisted living?
Yes, people with dementia can live in assisted living. Assisted living is an excellent alternative for someone with dementia that needs customized treatment as well as assistance. They will also have a neighborhood around them to assist them in their day-to-day life, and this will also help with the obstacles of mental deterioration.
