What is a Wellness Review?

Wellness reviews are an indispensable component of senior living communities, including SaraBella Senior Living, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the health, safety, and overall well-being of residents. These assessments are a structured, holistic approach to evaluating the physical, mental, and emotional health of individuals to create personalized care plans that cater to each resident’s unique needs and allow them to lead fulfilling lives in a supportive and vibrant community.

Wellness reviews help our team members determine the right level of support and lifestyle option for each member of our assisted living and memory care community in Sarasota, Florida. Conducted upon move-in as well as  periodically, wellness reviews further enhance the resident experience and allow for a more customized approach to support.

What is Memory Care?

Memory care provides a safe, secure, and structured community for individuals diagnosed with dementia or another memory impairment. This level of care features trained caregivers and team members with specialized knowledge to help manage the challenges associated with memory loss and cognitive impairment.

Memory care provides a higher level of support than assisted living, including 24-hour health monitoring, 24-hour security, and assistance with daily tasks. In addition, memory care in Sarasota offers enrichment programming specifically focused on strengthening the mind and body, helping to manage symptoms and behaviors associated with dementia and delay further progression of the condition.

What is Assisted Living?

 Assisted living  is designed for individuals who need or could benefit from additional support with their daily routine and tasks. These tasks could include medication management, dressing, or mobility assistance.

Assisted living in Sarasota can offer residents the support they need to live safer, fuller lives or provide them with peace of mind, knowing help is available should they need assistance in the future.

What is the Difference Between Assisted Living Communities and Nursing Homes?

Assisted living communities are designed for individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as  bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management but do not require extensive medical care or monitoring. Residents in assisted living communities are relatively independent and can typically manage many aspects of their daily lives.

While assisted living typically provides basic medical services like medication management, assistance with minor health issues, and emergency response systems, this lifestyle option does not offer the same level of medical care as nursing homes.

On the other hand, nursing homes provide a higher level of medical care and assistance. They are intended for individuals with more complex medical needs and require around-the-clock nursing care and supervision. Residents in nursing homes often have serious medical conditions or disabilities.

Nursing homes have on-site nursing team members and may provide a range of medical services, including wound care, intravenous therapy, and more. They are equipped to handle individuals with complex medical needs and can provide a higher level of medical supervision.

What Are Activities of Daily Living?

Activities of daily living are the fundamental tasks someone needs to independently care for themselves. At SaraBella Senior Living, we cater our support services to each individual in our community, providing assistance with the activities of daily living only when needed to promote independence and honor individual dignity. This could include assistance with

daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, verbal cueing, etc

What Happens if Health or Care Needs Change?

SaraBella Senior Living offers assisted living and memory care lifestyle options. With this being said, our wellness reviews allow us to regularly gauge the appropriate level of care needed and tailor our support services to each resident’s unique preferences.

If you or a family member moves into our Sarasota senior living community only needing minimal assistance with activities of daily living but later needs more support, we are able to accommodate this change and cater our services accordingly.
