Living with independence and assistance doesn’t mean compromising one’s independence. At Westmont of Escondido in Escondido, CA, we pride ourselves on striking the perfect balance, letting residents live freely while receiving the care they need.
Why Balancing Independence with Assistance is Crucial
The Essence of Human Dignity: Every Individual wishes to lead a life of self-sufficiency. Independent living fosters confidence and self-esteem.
Psychological Health: Independence has been linked with improved mental health, reduced depression, and increased cognitive function.
Physical Health: When seniors engage in regular activities and social interactions of their own accord, it can boost their physical health.
Personalized Care: What Does It Entail?
Personalized care is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It means understanding and acknowledging the unique needs of each.
Assessing Individual Needs: We begin by determining the specific needs and preferences of every resident, ensuring the care they receive is tailored to them.
Regular Updates: As health conditions and personal preferences evolve, we adjust the care plan accordingly.
Empowering Decision Making: Our residents have a say in their daily routines, activities, and medical care decisions.
