Seacrest Assisted Living

Assisted living communities or assisted living facilities (ALFs) help promote health, safety and well-being among the senior residents that live there. Assisted living was developed as a type of senior housing to provide housing, health care and personal care services to seniors in need of assistance with activities of daily living in a more independent environment than a traditional nursing home.

Among assisted living communities there is a wide variation in the level of care that may be provided. Some assisted living communities specialize in providing a supportive and safe environment for seniors who are largely independent but need some minor periodic assistance with activities of daily living or medication management. Other assisted living providers have designed their services specifically for the very frail elderly who need a very high level of assistance on a daily basis. These assisted living facilities have become a substitute for nursing homes and frequently provide many, though not all, of the same care services as a skilled nursing facility. It is important to know what type of environment each assisted living community caters to so that your loved one will be most comfortable.

Assisted living is regulated in all 50 states.  All settings offer 24-hour care and supervision for those who need assistance. Care is provided with dignity and respect.

While the majority of assisted living residents pay from their personal financial resources, 41 states offer "home and community-based waivers" that allow low-income residents to live in assisted living. Also, more seniors are purchasing long-term care insurance to help plan for and finance their long-term care needs.  Seacrest Retirement Center Senior Living Resources.

Independent Living

Independent living communities are for seniors who want to enjoy the benefits of an active, independent lifestyle. Sometimes called retirement communities, these retirement communities provide the best of both worlds: private living along with communal services and activities. Independent living attracts people who are looking to trade the responsibility of home maintenance, in exchange for a range of social, educational and leisure activities. Independent living is all about lifestyle. Often, communities offer varying forms of health care; Seacrest Luxury Retirement Center provides residents with qualified personnel who are on duty twenty-four hours a day.

Since lifestyle is the attraction, independent living communities usually offer living spaces in a range of sizes and configurations. Seacrest Luxury Retirement Center offers both rooms and suites. All are fully furnished – however, residents who want a touch of home may bring their own furnishings with them.  Residents can relax and often entertain their family and friends in our tastefully decorated, fully furnished lounges.

In general, these communities are designed around activities. At Seacrest, a full and diversified activities and entertainment program accommodates the varied needs and interests of our residents. Be it dinner at a local restaurant, a sunset cruise on Long Island sound, a shopping trip, or an afternoon at the movies, clients always have something to do and someplace to go.

At Seacrest, families are encouraged to participate in the Seacrest community with unrestricted visiting hours, guest dining programs and special events. Our residents truly make Seacrest their “home”.
