We’re asked to wear a lot of hats in life like loving husband, model employee, and supportive parent, but one of the most challenging roles to fill is caregiver. Caregivers are often forced to walk fine lines, lines like being available to keep an eye on their dad in case he takes another fall, but giving him the privacy that he wants in his own home. Showing compassion and respect to their mother with memory loss, but making sure she’s eating, even if she doesn’t want to.
It’s no surprise that a lot of caregivers are riddled with senses of worry, uncertainty, and guilt. The good news is: it can get better. The caregivers and nurses in our communities have a passion for helping seniors and their families transition through aging and have experience walking the fine lines. They can be the watchdog, the friend and the confidant, but they can never take your place.
We pride ourselves on offering multiple levels of care so our residents can age in place, here, at home, in Anchor Bay at Pocasset.
Living independently in one of the cottages, or a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom apartment at Anchor Bay at Pocasset allows you to maintain a sense of home and have all of the services of a senior living community just a step away.
If there comes a time when your mom or dad needs more help to get through their day, Anchor Bay at Pocasset’s assisted living care services can help. In addition to the usual meals, activities, and maintenance, your mom or dad can also get any combination of support services like medication management, help with bathing and dressing and incontinence management.
For a lot of caregivers, taking care of their mom and dad is a full-time job. The idea of going out of town for a weekend or an unexpected short-term change in care needs, like doctor’s orders after being discharged from the hospital, are serious stressors for caregivers who already feel worn thin. If you’re a caregiver who needs some extra help for a few weeks or days, respite care might be the perfect fit. Respite care provides the peace of mind of on-site care staff, prepared meals, and enrichment opportunities, without the long-term commitment.
Offering Independent Living and Assisted Living, Anchor Bay at Pocasset, gives residents the chance to age in place in a serene setting. Nestled amongst nature with beautiful gardens, walking paths and outdoor sitting areas, the community is minutes away from Providence and the area’s finest dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities.
Our state-of the art amenities include a daily check-in system and emergency response in each apartment. Plus, we are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you can rest assured that help will be there when your loved one needs it most.
If you or someone you love is considering a move to senior living, we’d love to introduce you to our family.
