“Aging in place” is growing older without having to move. Our seniors do not want to be moved to another facility when their health declines and their care needs increase. They want to stay in a familiar environment, surrounded by friends and activities that they have come to associate with “home.” Independent Living Assisted Living

++  Independent  Living  

Serge  Lefevere  (DETOO  ARCHITECTS)  

Independent living is the ability to maintain one’s residence and lifestyle without custodial or medical assistance. A way to gauge someone’s ability to live independently is by evaluating if they are able to perform activities of daily living (ADL). ADLs are the things we normally do on a daily basis, including any daily activity we perform for self-care, such as bathing, dressing and undressing, eating, transferring from bed to chair, and back, using the toilet, walking (not bedridden).

++  Assisted  Living  

Serge  Lefevere  (DETOO  ARCHITECTS)  

Assisted living is for those who need some help in their daily lives, but don’t require the medical care provided by a nursing home or other institutional setting. It provides housing and services when it is no longer safe or practical for an older adult to live alone in his or her home.
