How Do I Know What Level of Care I Need When Choosing an Assisted Living Facility?

Most facilities will require you meet with your doctor or their own physician to establish the best level of care for you during your stay. By examining your current state and medical history, the facility can recommend what they feel is necessary and then you can usually work with them to handle any additional needs you may require. As you get settled into your new home, your needs may change. You may find that once you get more active, there are certain things you do not need help with anymore. There may also be instances where you need more help then you originally thought. A good facility will work with you so you’re getting the help you need while ensuring you have the opportunity to stay independent on the things you can handle without putting yourself at risk.
