I am SO blessed and thankful for Barrie and her help in placing my mom in assisted living! When our family realized my mom's need for a lifestyle change, I did not have the vaguest idea where to even start in the process. Barrie was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was very knowledgeable as to the availability and the operations of the senior living facilities, while at the same time, she was caring, compassionate, responsive, informative, and always keeping my mom and our family first and foremost in her business dealings. I HIGHLY recommend Barrie and Caring Hearts to any family in need of help with their loved ones!!! I don't know what I would have done with Barrie's help!!

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between assisted living and independent living facilities?
The difference between assisted living and independent living is that assisted living helps to support residents with their activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, mobility/wheelchair transfers, assistance with incontinence and feeding, where as independent living gives those residents the freedom and flexibility in maintaining their lifestyle in a senior community.
How do memory care facilities ensure the safety of residents with cognitive impairments?

Memory care facilities employ specialized safety measures, including secured entrances and exits, monitoring systems, and trained staff to prevent wandering. These facilities are designed to create a secure environment for residents dealing with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

How can I determine if my loved one is ready for assisted living?
Some common signs are increase in falls, increase in isolation, no long able to perform activities of daily living, lack of personal hygiene, depression.
Are there specialized activities for residents in memory care facilities?
Memory care communities focus on providing specialized care and activities designed to meet the individuals needs where they are in their moment and time.
