FAQs

Assisted living offers seniors an opportunity to remain independent while receiving assistance with activities of daily living. It is a great option when 24-hour skilled nursing and rehabilitative care, such as a nursing home environment, is not required, but just a little daily help is needed.

Activities of daily living include tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, self-administration of medications, or the administration of medications, and more. The staff may also assist with housekeeping, shopping, laundry – whatever the resident needs to keep feeling independent as long as possible.

Memory care communities are often licensed as assisted living communities, but the staff has undergone additional training to handle the needs of those who have Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Programming designed specifically for those with dementia is also an important part of memory care, and should focus on promoting physical and emotional wellbeing, prolong daily functioning, and maintain a sense of purpose, satisfaction, dignity, and quality of life.

Beach House Assisted Living and Memory Care doesn’t require residents to sign a lease. Instead, rent is paid on a month-to-month basis and residents can move out after any length of stay. However, we do require a 30-day notice before the date of the resident’s departure. There are some exceptions. For example, a physician may order a transfer to a higher level of care or if the community lacks the ability to provide adequate care based upon increasing care needs.

Yes, it’s a good idea to bring furniture to make your apartment feel like home. If you would like new furniture or someone to help you design your space, Beach House has partnered with local furniture stores to do just that! Ask our Director of Community Relations for more information.
