Choosing Senior Living Options

Discovery Senior Living operates with a foundational belief that each senior is a unique individual with their own, distinctive needs and preferences for how they want to live. Seniors aren’t “one size fits all,” and we think that senior living communities shouldn’t be, either. That’s why Discovery Senior Living communities across the nation offer a range of customizable living options designed to fit the varied and often changing needs of today’s seniors.

For the most freedom and resort-style luxuries, there’s Senior Apartments and Cottages and our available Independent Living options. Meanwhile, for more care-focused solutions, there’s Assisted Living and Personal Care and our revolutionary SHINE® Memory Care Program. We even offer more specialized options like Skilled Nursing and short-term Respite Care. Together, it’s a full continuum of lifestyle and care options that can allow seniors to comfortably age in place, knowing that even if the need for care should ever change or intensify over time, so too can the level of service we provide.

Please note that available living and care options may vary by community. For more information and helpful insights and guidance in selecting the lifestyle option that’s right for you or your loved one, please speak to a Senior Lifestyle Counselor at your community of choice today.

SHINE® Memory Care: We’re Nationally Recognized for Our Approach to Memory Care

Science. Personalization. And the very latest in evidence-based procedures and best practices.

That’s the unique formula behind our proprietary SHINE® Memory Care Program, which was designed and developed by Discovery Senior Living to enrich the lives of seniors living with dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease or other memory-related issues.

For our organization, and especially for the seniors and families whose lives have already been touched by the program, SHINE® is special…and we aren’t the only ones taking notice.

That’s because in 2020, after a comprehensive review, our SHINE® Memory Care Program curriculum earned a prestigious Certificate of Recognition from the Alzheimer’s Association®, the country’s leading, voluntary health organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care and research. It’s a distinction we share with a very small and elite group of U.S. memory care providers.

The honor is a testament to the quality of the SHINE®, and shows that its person-centered approach is at the leading edge of the dementia care universe. And so too are our exceptional, SHINE®-certified team members, whose unique knowledge, skills and compassion position them as foremost care providers in our industry.

In all, our SHINE® program is committed to achieving excellence in person-centered care, and it can only be found at Discovery Senior Living communities where the Memory Care lifestyle option is offered!

How SHINE® Provides a New & Deeply Personalized Memory Care Experience

Built upon a single foundational principle—personalization—SHINE® utilizes six (6) individual points of focus to create a holistic memory care plan that’s made to fit each person’s unique needs and abilities.

Through family partnership and our own, professional assessment, we develop a deeper understanding of each resident’s needs, likes and dislikes, and personal preferences, all of which are used to create a better and more customized approach to care.

SHINE® principles help guide caring and compassionate interactions, foster an environment of comfort and trust, and inspire engagement through individualized activities.

Our exclusive SHINE® program emphasizes:

Skilled Nursing

Seniors who need regular medical care, like an IV, a ventilator, or other 24/7 medical treatment, can join a skilled nursing community. In this senior living option, trained nurses are on hand 24/7 so that your loved one can receive care when they need it. For many, a stay in a skilled nursing senior living home is a temporary option. Typically, a stay in skilled nursing will last until the resident is ready to return home or back to assisted living.

This senior living option differs from assisted living in that it offers more medical care. Assisted living residents might only need medical care a few times a week, and rely on other team members for help with daily living activities like getting dressed or taking medications. However, in skilled nursing homes, residents have access to medical care at all times. This can provide peace of mind to families as their loved ones recover from a medical procedure or a health condition. Skilled nursing senior living programs can also benefit those who require ongoing therapy.

Respite Care

Senior respite care involves a short-term stay in a senior living community. For primary caregivers who are going away or will otherwise be unavailable for a time, this can be a way to ensure that those in their care will be safe and sound. Seniors who need assistance at home on a daily basis can join a senior living community for a few days or weeks if their caregiver will be away. Respite care provides peace of mind for the caregiver as well as giving the senior opportunities to interact with others through group activities and events.

Additionally, respite care can be a good option for those recovering from a medical procedure or illness. Professional senior respite care at a Discovery Senior Living community provides round-the-clock care and support, including medical care as needed. This convenient lifestyle choice includes the following:

• A fully furnished apartment home
• Delicious dining options
• Access to community amenities, including activities and events
• 24-hour support and rehabilitation services from highly trained nurses, physicians, and therapists

Respite care is a great way for seniors to regain strength before ultimately returning to health in the comfort of their own home. It’s also a good solution if ever a family member or regular full-time caregiver is away or unavailable for a period of time.
