​Determining if a senior needs assisted living can be a sensitive and complex decision. It often involves assessing their physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as their ability to perform daily activities. Here are some key indicators to consider:

1. Difficulty with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): Look for signs that the senior is struggling with basic tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating, and mobility. Frequent accidents, unexplained injuries, or a decline in personal hygiene can be red flags.
   
2. Medication Management: Check if the senior is able to manage their medications properly. Missed doses, confusion about medication schedules, or overdosing can be signs that they need assistance.
   
3. Nutrition and Meal Preparation: Observe their eating habits. Weight loss, poor nutrition, or difficulty in preparing meals due to physical limitations or cognitive decline can indicate a need for assistance.
   
4. Safety Concerns: Evaluate their living environment for safety hazards. Are there unattended fires or appliances left on? Are there frequent falls or accidents? These issues can pose serious risks.
   
5. Isolation and Loneliness: Pay attention to their social interactions. Seniors who become increasingly isolated, withdrawn, or depressed may benefit from the social engagement provided in assisted living communities.
   
6. Cognitive Decline: Assess their cognitive abilities. Memory loss, confusion, disorientation, or difficulty with decision-making and problem-solving can suggest cognitive decline and the need for specialized care.
   
7. Decline in Mobility: Watch for signs of reduced mobility, balance problems, or difficulty walking. Mobility issues can lead to falls and injuries.
   
8. Chronic Health Conditions: Consider any chronic medical conditions the senior may have. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis can require regular monitoring and assistance with management.
   
9. Caregiver Stress: If family caregivers are experiencing high levels of stress and burnout while trying to meet the senior's needs, it may be an indicator that professional assistance is necessary.
   
10. Financial and Legal Challenges: Look for signs of financial mismanagement or difficulty handling legal matters. Unpaid bills, financial exploitation, or confusion about legal documents can be concerning.
    
11. Wandering or Getting Lost: Seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's disease may wander or become disoriented, putting their safety at risk.
    
12. Incontinence: Difficulty controlling the bladder or bowel can be a challenging issue that requires assistance and specialized care.
    

It's essential to involve healthcare professionals, such as a geriatrician or social worker, in the assessment process. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation of the senior's physical and mental health, which can help guide the decision about whether assisted living is appropriate. Additionally, having open and honest conversations with the senior and their family members about their wishes and preferences is crucial in making the right choice for their care.

Assisted living is a residence for the elderly or infirm who require assistance with some of the routine activities of daily living as well as ready access to medical care as needed. In terms of the level of care provided, assisted living is a step below the nursing home or skilled nursing facility. 

In Michigan, Adult Foster Care is the term used the State of Michigan and many folks do not know that adult foster care homes exist or provide almost the same services as an assisted living facility. Those who do know wonder should we keep our mom/dad in a bigger or smaller assisted living facility and many times, adult foster care homes are not advertised as assisted living homes, but often provide the same type of assisted living services. Here are some basic pros and cons of a smaller facility vs a bigger facility...
Pros of a Smaller Facility

• Feels like home
• More staff per resident
• Ability to meet special needs more personalized care 
• ​Usually More Affordable

Cons of a Smaller Facility

• Limited amenities and levels of care
• Too small for some
• Limited availability

Many different AFC homes and assisted living facilities can vary with their own rules and services. At Kozy Komfort Assisted Living, our goal is to recreate the personalized care given to a loved one in a home environment and provide a superior quality of life. Our senior residents can set their own schedules for when they want to wake up, eat meals, and go to bed. They're also able to enjoy customized, home cooked meals and enjoy visits and outings with families. Of course with the Covid-19 virus pandemic, we are also following CDC guidelines and taking precautions such as restrictions on visitations until the Governor's orders have been lifted and we will still be taking similar precautions in the future for the safety of our senior residents.  

There are thousands of assisted living facilities to choose from in the US, and hundreds in the state of Michigan. So do your due diligence when researching different facilities. Feel free to contact us for any questions you may have when searching for a place for your mom or dad.
