What is Assisted Living?

It's time we talked to everyone about assisted living.  We realize that not everyone fully understands what it means, so we're going to do our best to explain it to those of you who have questions in regards to its nature.  

It encompasses of a facilities and locations, which might be adding to some of the confusion.  Some buildings are high-rises, but the facilities can also be located in residential neighborhood.  There can be anywhere from a handful of residents, all the way up to several hundred.  Deciding on what sort of location is best for you or your parents is a personal decision, but a member of our team would be happy to show you around Copeland and explain in detail what we're all about here.

Assisted living is basically an option that combines housing, support services and health care all in one package.  Although it has traditionally only been offered to seniors, it has recently become an option for slightly younger residents who suffer from an early onset of conditions that normally inflict seniors.  At Copeland, though, we specialize in offering the service for seniors.  The point is, the service is for people who can't help themselves and whose families can no longer take care of them on their own.

We provide our assisted living residents with access to all of the common grounds.  Three meals are provided each day, as well as laundry service, medication administration, and assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting as needed.  Take your time and do your research; we're here to answer your questions.  When you're ready, we will be happy to provide qualified assistance.
