Frequently Asked Questions
What is “residential” assisted living?
When you picture an assisted living facility, you think of a building with many rooms (or apartments) and many people either working or living there. There is a big parking lot and a “directory” and elevators and a lot of things going on. While this may be the first choice for some, there might be those who prefer a more quiet, intimate environment. Residential assisted living homes are located in neighborhoods and look just like a typical home. They are designed to give those living there a feeling that they are still “home”. There are many of the same things offered at a residential home as there are at a larger facility such as therapies, activities, meals, assistance with daily activities, and more.
What makes Two Hearts Homes for Seniors different from other assisted living facilities?
“When I had to help look for a home for my Grandma after my Grandpa passed, I was discouraged at what I saw in most facilities. Although they were clean and had many things going on, I know that my Grandma was very overwhelmed. I thought ‘why couldn’t she just live somewhere that resembled an actual home and give her more one-on-one care?’ I want to make a home for the elderly that I would put my own Grandmother in.” –Janel (co-founder of Two Hearts Homes for Seniors)
