When searching for a senior living facility, it’s important to choose a community that offers a continuum of care, that is both assisted living and skilled nursing. At Brentwood, you don’t have to choose just one. This means that your loved one can age in place without needing to move residences.
Typically, assisted living services and skilled nursing services are considered two completely different forms of care. Assisted living is generally considered a more residential type of care for seniors who may need assistance with everyday tasks while having a social environment for residents to enjoy. Skilled nursing, on the other hand, is considered more of a medical setting for the residents because it requires the care to be provided by licensed nurses and doctors who provide physical therapy, artificial respiration, or other regular medical assistance.
However, at Brentwood Health Care Center we have both assisted living services and skilled nursing care for an unmatched social environment with the highest quality of care.
Now that you know the difference between the two, we can get to the three reasons why you should choose assisted living facilities with skilled nursing.
1. Blend Quality of Life with Quality Care
Whether you need the services of a skilled nursing environment for a short time and then want to transition to an assisted living space, having both services under one roof makes the transition easier and you’ll still be surrounded by the same great people who care for you and have gotten to know you.
This allows assisted living and skilled nursing residents to enjoy life while having a strong support system. You’ll have access to different degrees of care based on your needs and can balance your medical care needs and desired social life more easily than anywhere else that only offers either skilled nursing or assisted living.
Offering these two services brings the community together more than what could be done by each service on its own. When you choose a senior living community that incorporates assisted living services with skilled nursing care, it allows for you to not compromise between a thriving social life and best-in-class care. You can enjoy the engaging activities and social events with a professionally trained support staff ready to tend to each resident’s needs.
At Brentwood, we offer a state-of-the-art activities program that provides classes on a wide variety of interests, from history and spirituality to crafts and sports, plus so much more.
2. Truly Personalized Care
Our assisted living facilites with skilled nursing allow you to be in complete control of your care. Even as your needs change over the years and through different situations, facilities that offer both services develop real relationships between you and the staff for care that is unique to you and your needs.
Skilled nursing facilities specialize in round-the-clock professional nursing care and rehabilitation. Assisted living focuses on helping with everyday tasks like bathing and dressing or preparing meals. Brentwood allows you to age in place, while meeting all of your emotional and healthcare needs.
Brentwood includes both services and also rehabilitation and memory care services to enhance the level of personalized care you can receive all in one place no matter the situation you may find yourself in.

3. A Deliciously Balanced Diet
A balanced diet is important for a healthy lifestyle. Assisted living with skilled nursing services means that your medical care and daily life assistance, including your meals, are so closely related that your meals are made with your specialized dietary needs in mind. Get delicious meals throughout the day made just for you with input from your skilled nursing care takers, so each dish is made with your health in mind, whether you need a low-sodium, diabetic, or other specific diet.
