“I have a friend whose mom is 104, and they didn’t choose a LifeCare® community like Timber Ridge. Anytime something happens, they have to take her someplace that has availability.”

Assisted Living Frequently Asked Questions
Assisted living communities provide a distinct combination of individualized care, familiar surroundings, and professional expertise. You’re assured ongoing wellness evaluations and levels of service that address your specific needs. The licensed, compassionate team members assisting with activities of daily living and the many amenities and life-enriching activities are geared toward helping you more easily enjoy what matters most to you.
It’s best to start with a physician’s assessment. Depending on the circumstances of your situation, or that of your loved one, you can match needs to the right level of assistance or senior care options. When help with daily tasks is needed – taking medications, bathing, dressing, meals, transportation, and housekeeping – assisted living can be the answer. Trained professionals provide support while helping preserve your independence.
Transitioning from assisted living to memory care is often considered when a resident’s cognitive or memory-related needs begin to exceed what assisted living can provide safely and comfortably. Key signs that it may be time for memory care include increasing confusion, wandering, difficulty managing activities of daily living – even with assistance, or behavior changes that require specialized support.
At Timber Ridge, we offer a full continuum of care. Higher levels of care include memory care, rehabilitation and skilled nursing. These options provide around-the-clock care for individuals recovering from illness or injury and for those needing more long-term care or support.
Memory care provides specialized support for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory-related conditions, focusing on a safe, structured environment with activities tailored to cognitive needs. Skilled nursing offers more intensive medical care for those recovering from surgeries, managing illnesses or needing rehabilitation, with licensed professionals providing ongoing medical support.
Assisted living provides a community setting where seniors receive help with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, and medication, along with access to dining, social activities, and wellness programs. In contrast, home care offers similar support in a person’s own home, allowing for a familiar setting but without the built-in social opportunities and amenities of a community. The right choice depends on each senior’s preference for independence, social engagement, and the level of support needed.
A Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), is a senior living option that offers a range of care levels on one campus – typically including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and sometimes memory care. This setup allows residents to age in place and stay in the same community as their needs change, providing peace of mind with a plan for both current and future care.
