Are all Assisted Living Facilities the same?
By Nicol Smith, Rambling Oaks, Collin and Denton LIVING WELL Magazines
The decision to leave your home and move into an assisted living community is a difficult and life changing experience. The same amount of thought and consideration should be put into which community is right for you or your loved one as purchasing a new home. Assisted livings are designed to provide seniors assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). These usually include providing three meals per day, transportation, medication assistance, weekly housekeeping and laundry services, activities, and so much more. It is important to note, however, that not all assisted living communities are the same.

Transition Care: Life after a Hospital Stay
By Amanda Romano, Scottsdale LIVING WELL Magazine
Very few problems arise that present the same level of concern as an unforeseen, unexpected event that lands a senior loved one in critical care. It can happen without warning, and unfortunately, the lingering effects often last a lifetime. Regardless of whether it’s a minor issue or something more serious like a fall, heart attack or stroke, any health-related event presents a series of challenges for not only the affected individual, but for the family charged to care for them as well.
