It's National Assisted Living Week

Ten years ago the phrase "Assisted Living" was rarely heard.  Today, with an unprecedented aging society, it is as common as logging on to your computer.
In Utah County alone there are more than 20 options for Assisted Living, all with outstanding staff, accommodations and care. I have the honor of visiting these facilities on a weekly basis and enjoy getting to know the staff and residents as well as offer our services to those who have a need.

Most people are not aware of what Assisted Living can offer for them or their loved one.  The majority of AL's provide a comfortable room where the resident can bring their own furnishings and decorations, 3 meals each day, 24 hour supervision an assistance, laundry services, medication management, recreational, social and spiritual activities and housekeeping.  Because this is a resident's home, if they qualify, physical therapy and nursing services paid for by Medicare can also be provided through an agency such as Freedom Home Health and Hospice.  Qualifications are pretty simple, if the resident has had a recent fall, a change in medication or medical status or even a recent hospital stay.  The therapy or nursing provided can help the resident regain strength and hopefully stay in their home longer.

We are proud to be partners with so many of the Assisted Living Facilities in the Valley and invite you to stop in this week and take a tour. You can also take a virtual tour by clicking on one of their names on the right side of our home page.  When you stop in, tell them Freedom sent you!!
