Care Options Independent Living (IL)

The townhouses and independent apartments at Seasons Retirement Communities offer Independent Living. They are designed for seniors who can live independently but wish to live in a community designated for seniors with access to social or recreational programming. Our one-storey townhouses and apartments are equipped with an emergency call system, but no regular care services are provided. Independent Supportive Living (ISL) ISL at Seasons includes convenient services such as 24-hour emergency response, one, two or three meals daily, depending on the community, weekly housekeeping and access to our social and recreational program. Additional Care & Wellness Services can be purchased to customize the lifestyle that best suits the resident’s needs. Assisted Living (AL) AL best suits residents who need enhanced personal care support. The Health and Wellness team will work with our residents to create an individualized care plan that includes purchasing additional Care & Wellness services. From medication management to assistance with the activities of daily living to laundry services and more, care and wellness are customized experiences at Seasons. Memory Care The Memory Care program at Seasons is specifically designed to care for seniors living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease in a dedicated, secure area within some of our residences. Memory Care community residents receive specialized care services. The Seasons Embrace Today ® Memory Care philosophy requires a deep understanding of who our residents are so staff may adjust their interactions and respond with whatever is needed at the moment (for more, see page 26).

At Seasons, we believe in a flexible approach to care that supports our residents’ preferences . We are pleased to offer a range of Care & Wellness services that allow residents the flexibility to enhance their independent living experience if and when they need to. Before moving in, new residents will have their needs assessed by a medical professional, including questions about the resident’s health, ability to perform daily living tasks, and risk for falls. From there, our Health & Wellness team will assess a resident’s needs, discuss their goals, and work with them to build a customized care and wellness plan. Starting with our Care The Seasons Approach To

base Independent Living plan, new residents can add any Care & Wellness services they like. We understand that our residents are individuals at different stages of life and that the support they need today may change in the future. Services can be added permanently or for a limited period of time, depending on their current preferences and personal care needs, and in consultation with our Health & Wellness team. For peace of mind, Seasons’ service team members

are trained to notice even the smallest changes in a resident’s routine so that we can have proactive and discreet conversations with them and their families about their health and wellbeing. “Our residents are never alone in the process, so there’s no need to worry. We are here to help every step of the way, from the initial conversation to suggesting alternative care options to monitoring how residents adapt to their new regimen,” says Brenda D’Alimonte, Senior Director of Care Services.
