Levels of Care for Senior Living
Choosing the right senior living option for yourself or a loved one starts with understanding the different levels of living and care available. From Independent Living to Assisted Living/Personal Care, Memory Support and the Care Center, EverTrue offers personalized options designed to meet a resident’s changing needs while supporting independence and quality of life.
For families searching for Senior Living and Nursing Homes in St. Louis, EverTrue provides various communities, programs and services that offer a continuum of care, including Life Plan Communities and comprehensive home-based senior services.
What Are the Different Levels of Care for Seniors?
In our Life Plan Communities, EverTrue offers several levels of living and care:
Independent Living
Independent living is designed for active, self-sufficient older adults who want a maintenance-free, social lifestyle. Residents enjoy amenities, wellness programs, dining, activities and community connections with the peace of mind that comes with leaving the responsibilities of property maintenance, landscaping, housekeeping and other daily chores behind.
Assisted Living/Personal Care
Assisted Living, also known as Personal Care, provides personalized support while preserving independence. Team members are available 24 hours a day to assist residents with daily tasks to make life easier, including bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility and medication management. Residents also enjoy social, wellness and enrichment opportunities.
When Assisted Living is the Choice for You
Assisted living may be the right choice when everyday tasks, safety concerns or the need for additional support begin to make living independently more difficult. Assisted Living may be beneficial when:
- Daily activities are becoming difficult — bathing, dressing, toileting or getting around
- Medication management is becoming challenging — missed or incorrect doses
- Falls or safety concerns are increasing — especially when living alone
- Cooking, cleaning and household tasks are becoming overwhelming
- Loneliness or isolation is affecting quality of life
- Family caregivers are struggling to provide the support needed
Memory Support
Memory Support provides specialized, purposeful environments for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Through EverTrue’s trademarked StillYou® care model, dedicated team members provide personalized support, meaningful programming, structure and a focus on safety, dignity and each resident’s unique life story.
We focus on each person’s individuality while providing the structure, security and support they need.
When Memory Support May Be the Right Choice
Memory Support may be beneficial when:
- Memory loss affects daily routines or safety
- More structure or supervision is needed than can be provided by family or personal caregivers
- Confusion, wandering or behavior changes are concerns
- Family caregivers need additional support
- Greater engagement and connection could improve quality of life
Why Would I Need a Care Center?
The Care Centers at EverTrue Life Plan Communities provide 24/7 clinical care, including Long Term Care and Short Stay Rehabilitation. Residents receive individualized care plans and ongoing nursing support based on their medical needs and preferences.
What if I Prefer to Age at Home?
For older adults who prefer to remain at home, EverTrue Anywhere Care provides services designed to support independence wherever you call home. Whether you need in-home medical care, professional therapy services, trusted help with chores, or support through a chronic or life-limiting condition – EverTrue Anywhere Care has you covered.
Which Level of Care Is Right?
The right choice of care depends on an individual’s health, preferences, daily needs and future goals. By planning ahead for aging needs, families can start by discussing preferences with their loved one, physician and senior living professionals.
