Faced with selecting a facility, long term or short term, is a daunting task for most families. Senior Crossroads can assist you in determining the level of care that is needed and then provide knowledgeable recommendations at all levels so that the family can make an informed decision. Beyond that we can assist with coordinating the physical move and insuring as smooth as transition as possible.
We encourage the active participation of adult children, grandchildren, and other loved ones and care-givers in the process of choosing a senior living community. The following questions frequently arise, but you may have others when considered Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care or nursing care. We invite you to call us to discuss your specific circumstances and we look forward to serving as a resource for you. Senior Crossroads believes in a lively and fulfilling attitude when supporting the elderly and their familes with new lifestyles.
Skilled nursing facility, nursing home, and convalescent home are all terms used to describe a residential facility that provides on-site 24-hour medical care. Confusion often arises surrounding the use of the term "skilled nursing." It is helpful to consider that skilled nursing is a description of the type of service that is offered. The need for skilled nursing services does not automatically necessitate placement in a facility, because skilled services are available in a variety of senior care settings.
Rehabilitave Centers provide physical therapy to help a person restore function after illness or injury. These therapies can include, PT, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy.
Both Assisted Living and Independent Living Homes focus on keeping older adults safe, healthy and happy. Both provide support with what are referred to as the Activities of Daily Living (ADL). They can include bathing, dressing, and personal care, or just offer social activities.The differences between these two types of senior housing centers revolve around medical services provided and the physical plant of each community. By contrast, residents in an assisted living community generally require custodial care. It might be a person who lives with memory loss and isn't safe living alone. Or an adult with mobility problems who needs a little help transferring from their bed to their favorite chair. Independent Living, means you need no extra care but having help readily available.

Thank you so much for your impeccable professional services and warmth and wisdom. My parents have made a wonderful transition to assisted living, accomplished without any crises, and your advice and involvement are what made it possible for me to accomplish this substantial change in their situation with little drama and such a good outcome. Thank you. Wishing you continued success.
What can I say? I have waited a while to gather my thoughts and still I am not sure how to put into words how grateful we are for the many ways in which you have been a blessing to us. There is no way I could ever begin to list the many kindnesses you have shown. Your professional competence is amazing. In a world in which too many people promise too much, and then deliver too little, you serve as a role model for all of us.
What can I say about Denise? She is my Guardian Angel, without her I would be stumbling. She has enhanced my life for the better, not to mention my brother's. Her outstanding care, compassion and attention to detail fulfill all our needs and wants. God bless her, and thank-you for being my Angel.
Denise is extremely kind and knowledgable. She genuinely cares about Mom, and the entire family. She goes out of her way to provide my mother with all things necessary to ensure her a happy, active life. She seems to have an abundance of great resources. I look forward to seeing Denise each month. Her compassion and sense of humor make our visits very pleasant. Her expertise in the field of Eldercare allows my mother to enjoy a comfortable, quality life.
As we near the end of our almost ten-year relationship keeping watch over my father, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your service and your team. I can't say enough good things about Nancy and her professionalism and thoughtfulness. I at all times had confidence in your organization ensuring Irv's welfare throughout this difficult but all too common situation. It's a difficult but critically needed business you are in and you are to be commended.
