Assisted Living Becoming an Attractive Alternative for Elderly

Teri Strebel, Owner, Latter Days Assisted Living

  Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) are becoming more and more popular in the delivery of care to the elderly population.  Often mistaken for a nursing home, assisted living facilities, offer a less-expensive, residential approach to delivering many of the same services provided in skilled nursing homes.

   The level of assistance provided can be minimal to comprehensive while respecting the right to privacy, dignity and personal choice. Services may vary but typically include: assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming, mealtime accommodations for special diets and assistance with meals, laundry, housekeeping and assistance with ambulation and incontinence care.  Nursing assessments are routine, along with the supervision and dispensing of medications and 24 hour monitoring and emergency care.

   ALF’s generally offer two levels of care, Level 1 is for residents that are still quite independent but may require assistance with a few of their activities of daily living (ADL’s) such as bathing and grooming.  Level 2 residents require more time and attention with their ADL’s but do not require skilled nursing on a 24 hour basis. Not all ALF’s offer Level 2 care.

   Because ALF’s are considered a resident’s home, Medicare guidelines allow Home Health and Hospice Agencies to provided services, usually at no cost, to those who qualify, adding that extra amount of care while still having the comfort of an assistant available to help the resident 24 hours a day.

Teri Strebel, Owner, Latter Days Assisted Living

 

Latter Days Assisted Living, a Level II assisted living facility, was co-founded in April of 2000 by Carter & Teri Strebel of Santaquin and Paul & Cathy Brown of Orem.  Latter Days prides itself on its unique style of delivering services with an atmosphere of love and respect. Fun and engaging recreational activities are a huge priority at Latter Days. It’s not unusual to see their residents learning the hula for an upcoming luau or going for a horse ride with their good friend Andrew Goudy.  The major holidays aren’t the only special days celebrated at Latter Days.  Famous birthdays, historical events and even National Pig Day get their own unique recognition here.  Beautifully decorated for each holiday or event along with a recent renovation to the interior, helps keep Latter Days Assisted Living fresh and inviting.  It is the home-like atmosphere created by the made-from-scratch nutritious meals, the kind loving care and the family oriented activities that make assisted living an attractive alternative for the elderly. Latter Days Assisted Living truly goes the extra mile to be “More Than Just A Place To Hang Your Hat”. Stop by or call for a tour, 801-369-0582.
