Nearly half of adults over the age of 70 will require some form of long-term care, according to a recent study. Long-term care provides a range of medical and non-medical services for those who are unable to perform daily activities on their own, but not all long-term care is equal. The quality of care that residents receive has a major impact on their lives. Seniors who receive high-quality care have lower hospitalization rates and better overall health outcomes, but high-quality senior care goes beyond addressing physical or medical needs. It fosters independence, social connections and mental sharpness.
Comprehensive care that includes rehabilitation therapy, wellness programs, interactive social activities and memory care play an important role in helping seniors experience the best life possible. This wide variety of programs empowers seniors to stay mentally, physically and socially active and connected to their community, fostering a sense of purpose and overall well-being. Communities that prioritize high-quality holistic care help their residents and their communities thrive.
