Living Options & Care Levels
When you’re considering care options for your parent, AgeCare Sun Rivers offers both long-term care and retirement home living to meet different needs and circumstances. The long-term care option serves individuals with complex, unpredictable medical conditions who can no longer remain safely at home or in less intensive care settings. This means your loved one will have access to a registered nurse care leader who oversees all aspects of resident care, supported by an interdisciplinary team including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, healthcare aides, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, recreational therapists, and social workers. The retirement home option provides a different level of support for those who need some assistance but don’t require the intensive medical oversight of long-term care. Both options offer the peace of mind that comes with knowing professional care is available whenever needed.
