Frequently Asked Questions Q. What makes Ashbridge Senior Living unique?
A. Our approach begins with innovative building design and forward thinking. In our initial phase, we obtain a Residential Care Facility License for all apartments or suites. By doing this, Ashbridge residents enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that they may move into an apartment at an “independent level” and have the opportunity to receive care services,
when desired, without moving to another location. Residents appreciate the freedom to obtain assistance within their Ashbridge community by Resident Companies they have developed professional relationships with, and grown to trust.
Q. What is the difference between an assisted living apartment and a nursing home?
A. In an assisted living apartment at Ashbridge, residents enjoy amenities that include meals, housekeeping, maintenance, laundry services, life enrichment activities and community outings to name a few. As residents care needs change, our specially trained staff provides assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs): medication administration, mobility, showering and bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and psycho-social programs. Specialized memory care or memory support programs may include. These programs are often in a secure neighborhood of apartments with staff who are educated to work with and provide understanding, care, and services.
In a nursing home, residents require a higher acuity of care and services including skilled services as defined by the centers for Medicare and Medicaid. These services are delivered by skilled provider at an intense rate of care like tube feeding, wound management care, IV therapy, and 5-day/ week physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy. Ashbridge is not a nursing home.
