At Lonestar CareHomes, we provide houses and manufactured homes, instead of small studio apartments, for older adults to live as independently as possible within a family home of their peers with onsite caregivers, allowing them to age in place with a familiar lifestyle, so they can avoid moving to an institution.
The list of benefits is long, so here are a few of the main ones:
- Continue life in a familiar manner, in a regular community/neighborhood.
- Who wants to live in an apartment when they can live in a house?
- Basic chores are all taken care of by a Caregiver including meals, meds, bathrooms, cleaning and social activities.
- Be part of a family living with your peers, not isolated in an apartment alone.
- The cost of living and care is split between residents making it affordable.
- Seniors get much more personal attention and a stronger bond with their caregiver as there is a maximum of 6 to 1 ratio between caregiver and residents. Compare this to a large apartment-style community, where there might be 30 residents or more, to one staff member.
- You have a private bedroom in a home, but are not isolated and cut off as you now belong to a new family with 2 of your peers.
The cost of living with us is made affordable by group discounts for a regular bedroom in a normal residential home. Cost includes food, utilities, cable, Internet, phone and home care for activities of daily living.
