Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I really don't know the rules around Independent Living, but basically anyone there is expected to "be able to live independently".
What sort of help is it that you are looking for? You say this this is for a friend; can you tell us why your friend cannot seek his or her own help?
We need much more information in order to be able to answer you, but I will tell you that if you see someone in a crisis, and unable to act for her own/his own protection, I would make a call to APS saying you need assessment for a Senior at risk.
Have you expressed your concerns to facility administratio? Does this person have family? The administrator should contact the family or primary POA. If there is no one then each of you can contact APS so that they can investigate. If this person is showing measured signs of decline, then they will petition the probate court and your friend will be placed in appropriate care. You and your friends would probably not feel good if your friend had a serious accident that could have been prevented.
No they aren't responsible because friend lives as an independent person. Can they not be evaluated by the Community to see if they need a higher level of care? Maybe its time for assisted living otherwise they need to pay for services she now needs. She must have a contract with this Community. Do they have family? If so, they need to get involved.
Since it appears the community has different phases of care, it might be best if every friend of this "independent resident" wrote a letter of concern. Send copies to the administration, the family of the resident, and the resident himself/herself.
If this friend is no longer "independent" then they will have to move into the assisted living part of this facility and of course pay a lot more for the care they now require. Talk to whoever is in charge to get the ball rolling for this friend.
When my parents lived in an Independent Senior Living building and mom got sick, I could hire a caregiver for her. I really dont understand your question.
Does your friend have family locally or a PoA? I'd start with talking to the PoA, if known, then closest family with whatever concerns you have about them.
Depends on what your concerns are - and what you mean by 'get help' - what kind of help are you feeling is needed? - does your friend indicate or feel a need for help? - does this friend have family? and are they involved in your friend's life / do they visit? - Are they aware of your concerns?
Does your friend seek out support or help - at all? - from you?
A person residing in ind living in a facility needs to be 'more' pro-active to get their needs met. If you feel it is appropriate and not over-stepping, if you know the family, let them know your concerns. So much depends on what your friend wants - from you. This person may feel they do not need any help or resent your 'help.'
You do what you can and then you need to know when to let go. I do not have enough information to provide more.
If I was concerned about a friend due to their mental or physical health, I would reach out to their family, the social workers at the facility, although first I would talk to the friend directly and ask them how you can support them, then honor their wishes.
