Assisted Living Options for Couples with Different Needs 

You spent a lifetime building traditions together, but now your care needs have begun to diverge. You might have made the decision to move into a senior living community, or you may already be living in one. But with different care needs, you may be concerned about the future. We understand. 

Choosing a new home is an important choice. We recognize the significance of this big decision. Traditions’ caring staff is here for you during this time, and our community is prepared to answer all questions you may have about this next chapter of life.

Levels of Care

Level of Care (LOC) generally refers to the amount of assistance an individual will need with the activities of daily living (ADL), as well as the management of one’s health. Traditions offers 7 levels of care, providing unparalleled flexibility for our residents. 

Our community nurse provides an assessment using a standard point system to develop a specialized Service Plan for the resident. The goal is to develop a plan for the resident to meet all their specific needs – the points accumulated link to the Level of Care.

A Personalized Approach to Memory Care

Every senior has a unique life story, a rich tapestry of memories they hold dear. If you or your spouse should ever find yourselves living with Alzheimer’s or other age-related dementias, The Varietas® Memory Care Program enables our expert Memory Care team to understand your needs, special memories, and unique qualities, guiding the personalized care, comfort, and connection you receive in our Memory Care neighborhood. No one wants to lose their sense of independence. Our team will help you make the right choice for you, your spouse, and your family while maintaining the critical familial connections and respecting the traditions that make you unique. 

Wrap Up

As you age, nothing is more important than family, togetherness, and caring compassionate care. If you and your partner have different care needs, we can work with you to provide the right options so you can stay together and continue building traditions. 

*Each Traditions community may have different living options and levels of care.
