Personalized care means we shape our help to fit each person's own:
At LakeHouse Kalamazoo, we start by learning about our residents, which helps us build special care plans that improve daily care and keep care focused on the resident.
LakeHouse Kalamazoo rests in the center of Kalamazoo, Michigan, and our assisted living community sits near parks, shops, and lively spots for easy fun in the area.
A report from the American Health Care Association notes that nearly 80 percent of residents in assisted living and their families feel happy with their care. This points out how custom ways like ours lift well-being.
Personalized care stands out because it follows a set of clear guidelines that put people first. We draw from these ideas at LakeHouse Kalamazoo to make sure our residents get the support that fits them best.
This means residents and caregivers team up to pick the best options for daily help. For example, a resident might choose how they want assistance with meals or outings. It builds trust and keeps everyone on the same page.
Here, we create individual care plans based on what matters most to each person. These plans cover:
Residents gain more say in their care, including rights to pick services that match their wishes. It empowers them to stay active in their own lives.
It connects people to local groups or activities outside of medical help. In Kalamazoo, this could mean joining nearby events that tie into our on-site fun, like bingo or live entertainment.
Self-management helps residents build skills to handle their health day to day. We offer guidance on simple tasks, such as medication management, without stepping into doctor roles.
Budgets give control over spending on care needs. While not every spot uses this fully, it inspires us to focus on flexible options that suit individual styles.
These principles guide us toward resident-centered care that feels right for everyone.
Folks often ask why personalized care makes such a difference for seniors. The perks show up in better health and happier days.
A study from the Cleveland Clinic found that older adults with tailored plans felt almost 2.5 times more involved in choices about their meds, leading to less stress from treatments. This kind of involvement lifts spirits and cuts down on unneeded hospital stays.
One big plus is stronger emotional health. When care matches personal tastes, residents report higher joy in daily life. For instance, custom wellness routines help maintain energy and fight off loneliness.
The same study from the Cleveland Clinic shows that personalized approaches improve overall outcomes, with folks feeling seen and valued.
Tailored daily living assistance leads to better management of conditions, like steady exercise or balanced meals. Seniors in these setups often see fewer falls or health dips because plans adjust as needs change.
In short, these benefits create a fuller life, where seniors thrive instead of just getting by.
