Frequently Asked Questions

When Is It Time to Consider Assisted Living? 

The choice to move to assisted living is ultimately up to you. It may be easier to decide if you discuss it with your loved ones, especially those who are around you frequently. 

Consider your everyday routine and how often you struggle with tasks and chores around the house.Do you feel like your home is too big, or too cluttered? Does it take you a bit too long to complete essential tasks, such as brushing your teeth or dressing yourself? 

If so, it may be time to make the transition to an assisted living community such as Addington Place of Prairie Village. Since it is an extremely personal choice, do not rush into the decision and take all the time you need to weigh the pros and cons. 

How Is Assisted Living Different From Memory Care?

You may think that the terms "assisted living" and "memory care" are interchangeable, but this could not be further from the truth. Although the two programs have similarities, they are fundamentally different in some key ways. 

Assisted living is for seniors who need a bit of extra assistance with tasks such as hygiene and household chores. Sometimes, those in the early stages of dementia can live comfortably in assisted living. 

Memory care, on the other hand, is geared toward residents who are in the advanced stages of cognitive decline from diseases such as Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. It requires more intensive care and supervision, with simplified routines and structured activities geared to preserve cognitive function and ensure comfort.
