Choosing the right care option for an aging loved one or for yourself is a significant decision. Understanding the key differences between assisted living and nursing care can help ensure the choice aligns with an individual’s needs and preferences. While both provide valuable support, they cater to different levels of care and independence. At Newton Village, both types of support are available.
Assisted Living - Assisted living is designed for individuals who value their independence but need some assistance with daily activities. Residents live in a private apartment and have access to help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal preparation. Assisted living emphasizes social engagement, offering a variety of activities, events, and communal dining to foster a sense of community.
Newton Village is ideal for seniors who are mostly independent but may need support for specific tasks. The staff focuses on creating a homelike environment with added conveniences like housekeeping and transportation services.
Nursing Care - Nursing care, or skilled nursing, provides a higher level of medical care for individuals with more complex health needs. At Newton Village, licensed nurses and other medical professionals offer 24/7 care, including wound care, medication administration, therapy services, and monitoring of chronic conditions.
Nursing care is suited for individuals who require ongoing medical attention or have significant physical or cognitive impairments. The focus is on health management and either short-term or long-term rehabilitation.
Choosing the Right Option - The decision between assisted living and nursing care depends on the level of support required. For those seeking independence with some daily assistance, assisted living is often the right fit. However, for individuals with advanced medical needs or requiring round-the-clock supervision, nursing care provides the specialized attention necessary.
Newton Village offers both options, along with memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
