How Elara Caring Supports Residents in Care Facilities

“Home” doesn’t always mean a private residence. Many older adults live in communities designed to support their needs, like nursing homes, assisted living facilities or independent living residences.

Elara Caring supports individuals across a variety of care settings, offering services tailored to the environment, level of independence and personal goals of each resident.

In Independent Living: Providing Support to Stay Independent

Independent living communities are designed for seniors who are mostly self-sufficient but enjoy a sense of community and occasional support. Elara Caring offers flexible, individualized services that promote aging in place.

Skilled Home Health Care

When residents face short-term health challenges, skilled home health helps them recover at home with:

• Skilled nursing visits for post-surgical care or medication support
• Therapy services to regain strength or mobility
• Monitoring for chronic conditions like heart disease or COPD
• Education to manage health independently

We’re often brought in after a hospital discharge or to help prevent one.

Personal Care and Companionship

For those who need a little extra help with the basics, our caregivers offer:

• Assistance with bathing, grooming and dressing
• Light housekeeping, laundry and meal prep
• Social engagement and meaningful conversation

These services provide peace of mind for families and help prevent isolation, which is a growing concern for seniors.

Hospice Care

Even in independent settings, residents may eventually face health challenges that require specialized care. Our hospice team brings:

• Symptom management and comfort care
• Emotional and spiritual support
• Education and preparation for end-of-life decisions
• 24/7 support so residents don’t have to face difficult times alone

Residents can remain in the comfort of their community—with care that grows with them.

In Assisted Living: Helping Residents Age in Place Safely

Assisted living offers a supportive environment for seniors who need some help with daily living, but not full-time nursing care. Elara Caring builds on that foundation by providing more advanced or personalized care when it’s needed.

Skilled Home Health Care

When a resident is recovering from surgery, illness or hospitalization, our team can step in with services that help them heal and regain independence:

• Nursing assessments and care planning
• Medication setup and monitoring
• Wound care
• Chronic disease monitoring and management
• Physical, occupational and speech therapy

We coordinate closely with facility staff to avoid duplication of services and ensure a smooth care experience.

Personal Care and Daily Living Support

For residents whose needs grow over time, personal care services can add extra hands and a familiar face to help with:

• Bathing, dressing, toileting
• Meal preparation and feeding assistance
• Mobility and fall prevention support
• Light housekeeping
• Medication reminders

These services help prevent unnecessary moves and allow residents to remain in the assisted living community they love.

Hospice Services

As health needs progress, Elara Caring provides care that shifts the focus from curing illness to maximizing comfort and honoring the individual’s goals. Our teams work alongside facility staff to:

• Manage difficult symptoms
• Provide personal care assistance
• Offer spiritual care and emotional counseling
• Support families through the end-of-life journey with dignity and grace

Our presence brings peace of mind to residents and their loved ones during sensitive times.

In Nursing Homes: Enhancing Comfort and Continuity

Nursing homes provide round-the-clock supervision for individuals with complex medical needs. Elara Caring enhances this environment with end-of-life care services that focus on comfort, dignity and quality of life.

Hospice Care

Our hospice team offers expert end-of-life care with a focus on physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Services include:

• Symptom and pain management
• On-call support 24/7
• Spiritual care and chaplain visits
• Emotional counseling for patients and families
• Volunteer companionship and legacy projects
• Bereavement services for loved ones and even facility staff

We work closely with nursing home teams to ensure patients receive seamless, compassionate care that honors their wishes.
