Since about a third of South Carolina’s population is over the age of 50, senior support services are more essential than ever. TerraBella Asheboro is made for those who can thrive with assisted living and memory care services.

Here, we’ll discuss why TerraBella memory care and traditional assisted living stand out. Read on for more information about our trusted assisted living community in Asheboro, NC.

Personalized Care

Even within a traditional assisted living community, no two seniors will have the same needs.

For example, consider an older adult whose mind is as sharp as it was fifty years ago. They’re unlikely to face challenges with memory and disorientation, but that doesn’t preclude them from struggling with mobility. Wheelchair ramps and help with the physical challenges of bathing can keep this resident happy and healthy.

While this individual may need help with moving around the community, another resident down the hall may be in great physical shape. However, cognitive decline may set in and cause confusion and an inability to remember how to complete important tasks.

The bottom line is that senior living is never one-size-fits-all. Our team will:

Sit down to talk with every new resident
Involve families in the conversation
Discuss the specific challenges the senior is facing
Talk about the underlying causes of these challenges
Determine what the new resident can do independently to retain autonomy
Figure out the best way to meet everyone’s specific needs
Write down a comprehensive, personally-tailored care plan
Get approval from families to ensure that the plan is well-thought-out
Adapt the care plan whenever the senior’s needs change
Inform families of the changes made over time in Asheboro, NC, senior living

This ensures that every resident gets the care needed to thrive. It also works to preserve autonomy whenever possible.

This ensures that seniors retain a sense of control and self-determination, which ultimately means higher self-esteem and a happier lifestyle.

Multiple Senior Living Options

TerraBella Asheboro doesn’t just adapt plans to every senior’s needs. We do so after placing them in a community that’s a perfect fit for them. Many of our residents reside in traditional assisted living. This living option is meant for seniors who struggle with mobility or mild cognitive decline. South Carolina caregivers help with tasks like:

Showering and bathing
Choosing clothes
Dressing
Using the bathroom
Meal planning and preparation
Cleaning up the living space
Managing medication
Managing injections such as insulin
Walking around the apartment with mobility aids
Navigating robust community amenities that enhance seniors’ lifestyles

Memory care is another living option made for seniors with:

Dementia
Alzheimer’s
Parkinson’s disease

Those who live in this community get additional support for severe cognitive decline. In addition to the daily care services assisted living residents unlock, those in memory care gain access to:

Trained and experienced caregivers who primarily work with dementia patients
Sensory experiences that are meant to stimulate all areas of the mind
Activities designed to boost cognitive function, including games and puzzles
Mindful meal planning and chef-prepared meals
Safety and support features
Regular communication with families

TerraBella Asheboro has a nationally recognized SHINE® Memory Care Program. The Alzheimer’s Association® has awarded our dementia care in Randolph County with this certificate of recognition. Seniors and families can rest assured that we offer the best care available.

Senior Support Services

Many seniors are reluctant to transition to assisted living because they worry that they will lose their independence.

Luckily, this is nothing more than a common misconception!

Senior support services ensure that all our residents’ basic needs are met. Only at this point can they begin to focus on living a fulfilling life rather than simply surviving through daily personal care tasks.

Those in memory care also stay sharper than they would at home. They engage in purpose-driven activities meant to stimulate brain function. This stops cognitive decline from progressing as quickly as it otherwise would.

Seniors can retain their memory for a longer timeframe and stop disorientation and confusion in their tracks.

Additionally, seniors who age in place often experience severe isolation. Age is a huge risk factor for loneliness because of factors like:

The loss of loved ones
Living alone after the loss of a spouse
No longer being able to drive
Not having access to accessible public transportation
Relying on younger family members (who frequently work) to meet their basic needs and drive them to doctors’ appointments

In a senior living community, seniors can easily stave off social isolation. They:

Live in a community with close friends
Have constant access to companionship from neighbors
Are near restaurant-style dining areas and exciting living areas
Can rely on compassionate caregivers to meet their needs and help them navigate community amenities

This ensures that every resident retains a high quality of life for as long as possible.
