Bell Oaks Place: Assisted Living with Personalized Care

Written by Discovery Senior Living | Feb 6, 2025 5:00:00 AM

Recent reports from the Department of Health and Human Services cite that 56% of all older Americans (65+) will at some point need long-term care.

If your parent or grandparent is moving forward into this stage of life, looking into great retirement community options can help your family thrive.

Here, we'll talk about how Bell Oaks Place Assisted Living can help families in Newburgh, IN care for their loved ones. Read on to learn the ins and outs of personalized care for seniors and how our team ensures that every resident's needs are met.

The Importance of Personalized Care

Aging can call people's sense of identity into question. Seniors often feel complicated emotions regarding their roles in their relationships and in the world at large.

It's important for older adults to view aging as another stage in their lives. It's not the end of their past identity. Instead of being a loss, growing older provides new opportunities to look forward to.

Personalized assistance in senior care communities recognizes every resident as an individual. This does the following:

  • Helps seniors retain their core identities
  • Lets residents better explore their interests and values
  • Strengthens family roles

Additionally, personalized care gives older adults the help they need to thrive. If someone's basic needs aren't met, they won't be able to prioritize hobbies, passions, or interpersonal connections.

Bell Oaks Place ensures that this doesn't happen to residents. We help with tasks like:

  • Brushing teeth and hair
  • Bathing and showering
  • Choosing clothes
  • Dressing
  • Using the bathroom
  • Getting into and out of bed
  • Getting to and from community common amenities
  • Managing medications
  • Cleaning up living spaces
  • Housekeeping and laundry

When seniors have access to reliable care and good hygiene, they can shift their mental energy toward finding themselves with new passions and activities.

Bell Oaks Place Assisted Living: Individualized Care Plans

Some seniors will be unable to walk but have a lot of mobility in their upper body. Others will be able to walk but have low flexibility. Some will have a perfectly easy time getting around but require in-depth memory care services.

Regardless of your loved one's capabilities, their needs won't match those of their neighbors.

Some assisted living communities try to offer one-size-fits-all services. Unfortunately, this doesn't effectively meet each resident's requirements for a great quality of life.

The great senior living Bell Oaks Place offers prioritizes giving each of our community members the best life possible.

Whenever we get a new resident, we:

  • Sit down with them and their family members
  • Discuss what they're capable of doing independently
  • Talk about what tasks they struggle the most with
  • Learn more about the kind of care the family had been providing at home
  • Create a written care plan that addresses the new resident's unique needs
  • Share it with them and their families to get recommendations and requests
  • Tweak the plan until all parties are happy with the level of care it outlines

Once seniors move into our well-appointed apartments, we follow the customized care plan to a T. This ensures that there are no surprises when it comes to the tasks new residents get help with.

Consistency does the following:

  • Establishes a care routine
  • Adds structure to daily life
  • Limits the possibility of unwanted surprises

Seniors won't just have their basic needs met. They can rely on structured living to boost their mental health.

Is Personalized Care for Seniors Adaptable?

Personally-tailored care plans are completely adaptable to changing needs.

Say that your loved one is currently capable of bathing and dressing independently. While no one likes to think of the possibility of worsening mobility, there is a possibility that needs will shift over time to require more support.

In this case, compassionate caregivers will note what seniors are struggling with. They'll then adapt the pre-existing care plan to include both bathing and dressing assistance.

This ensures that every resident has the care they need to focus on enjoying daily life!

Individualized care at Bell Oaks Place Assisted Living also aims to keep seniors as independent and autonomous as possible. This does the following:

  • Allows older adults to feel in control of daily life
  • Lets seniors hold onto their sense of self through independence
  • Helps seniors keep their memories sharp by increasing decision-making opportunities

Sometimes, seniors will recover their ability to do tasks on their own that they previously couldn't! If your loved one needed help using the bathroom but improves mobility through wellness classes, they may be able to complete this activity on their own.

Custom plans can adapt to facilitate senior autonomy as well as expand care.
