As people age, they may require a variety of services to help them maintain their independence and quality of life. Continuing care and recuperative care are two important types of senior care that can provide the support needed to meet the changing needs of older adults.
Continuing care refers to a range of services that are designed to help older adults live as independently as possible for as long as possible. These services can include:
- Home care: Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and eating
- Adult day care: Social and recreational activities in a supervised setting
- Assisted living: Residential care with support services
- Skilled nursing care: 24-hour medical and nursing care in a facility
Continuing care communities often offer a continuum of care, which means that residents can move between different levels of care as their needs change. This can provide peace of mind for families, knowing that their loved ones will have the support they need, regardless of their health status.
