A Message From Our Founder, Lisa Satin

The Right Place – Senior Options is here to help you transition from your current residence when you need a little or a lot of help with activities of daily living. There are wonderful senior living options out there that provide meals, housecleaning, laundry, social activities, medication assistance and transportation. Let us assist you in finding the place that meets your needs.

Types of Residences

Below you will find descriptions of the various residential settings. Choose the senior living lifestyle that meets your needs

Active Living Retirement Communities

These include apartments, cottage houses, mobile homes, or townhouses available to those over 55 years old. Residents have little or no trouble with activities of daily living and are very independent. These communities often include some common areas for social and recreational purposes and occasional activities.

Independent And Assisted Living

These two types of living situations are often clustered together in an apartment type building. People living in Independent Units need no assistance with activities of daily living and have kitchens in their apartments, but they may enjoy some meals, social activities, housekeeping and transportation that the community has to offer. Should you need assisted living you can usually stay in your selected apartment and add services as needed.

Adult Family Homes

The right Adult Family Home (AFH) can be a great alternative to a Skilled Nursing Facility for someone who needs a lot of physical care. They are residential homes with someone on duty 24 hours/day that are licensed and inspected by the State to care for up to eight people. They provide meals, laundry, assistance with medications, activities of daily living and often social and holiday activities. They cost less than a Skilled Nursing facility and often have an RN or LPN on staff.

Memory Supportive Care Communities

This is an Assisted Living community that is secure to protect clients from elopement. The staff in a memory supportive community are highly trained in the area of cognitive engagement and know how to appropriately and respectfully care for these residents while engaging them in activities and attending to their needs.

Life Planning Communities (CCRC)/Continuum of Care Retirement Communities

Continuing Care Retirement Communities, also called “Life Plan Communities”, are locations that provide a comprehensive approach in that they offer a full spectrum of the care continuum, from Independent Living to Skilled Nursing Care. Many individuals and couples like these communities because all their needs can be met on one campus. If a spouse were to fall down for example, he or she could rehabilitate in the on-site Skilled Rehabilitation while enjoying convenient visits from their spouse who also lives on campus.

Skilled Nursing or Rehabilitative Care Centers

These locations offer a very high level of care and must be licensed to administer medication. There is a federal level of standards and policies that are required for a skilled nursing license that must be met. They offer rehabilitative and various complex nursing and medical procedures. Skilled nursing, unless covered by Medicaid, can be very expensive and can often be avoided. Alternatives to long term skilled nursing could be an Adult Family Home or an Assisted Living community with added care.
