“I’ve developed friendships, which creates a new family for me,” says Ruth Eisenhard. Ruth has a one bedroom apartment with a den and living room. Before arriving six years ago she was familiar with the campus but never thought she would be a resident. Like Georgia, Ruth knew it was time to give up her house when she had several falls.

ASSISTED LIVING AND SKILLED NURSING
As with most things in life, there’s some- thing for every budget. For those not able to afford a CCRP, there are increasing numbers of assisted living facilities around.
Assisted living came on the scene in the early 1980’s. It is basically a mid-point be- tween home and the skilled nursing care of a nursing home. Sometimes called personal care, there’s a distinction between the two, with personal care residents limited to no more than four people per room (in Penn- sylvania) and assisted living limited to one, or a husband and wife. Assisted liv- ing suites are required by the state to have kitchen facilities.

For the senior needing help with medication management or showering and bathing, as- sisted living is ideal. There is a structured so- cial environment with activities, health and nutrition is emphasized and the physical en- vironment is generally sunny and cheerful.
If the need arises, the assisted living resident can move into skilled nursing care, perhaps for a short term stay after some form of surgery or maybe permanently for serious health concerns and dementia.
