As we age, our needs evolve – sometimes gradually, sometimes more suddenly. Senior care is designed to support older adults in maintaining comfort, dignity, and quality of life during later years. Whether it involves assistance with daily tasks, help managing a health condition, or simply a more social environment, senior care offers a variety of options tailored to individual lifestyles and preferences.
At Sanders Senior Living, we specialise in delivering high quality care within luxurious, purpose built environments. But before choosing the right care for yourself or a loved one, it is important to understand what ‘senior care’ really means – and what options are available.
What Does Senior Care Include?
Senior care refers to a wide range of services and support provided to individuals typically aged 65 and over. It may involve:
- Help with personal care, such as washing, dressing, or taking medication
- Support for people with mobility or memory difficulties
- Access to nutritious meals and organised activities
- Medical monitoring and professional nursing support
- A safe and supportive place to live, either short- or long-term
Senior care can be delivered at home, in the community, or within a residential care setting – such as those offered by Sanders Senior Living.
Types of Senior Care
Let us explore some of the most common types of senior care available, including those you will find within our luxury care homes.
1. Residential Care
Residential care homes offer round-the-clock assistance for individuals who can no longer manage entirely on their own at home. This could be due to mobility issues, general frailty, or simply the need for additional social contact and support.
At Sanders Senior Living, our residential care includes:
- Comfortable private bedroom suites with en-suite facilities
- Access to a caring team 24/7
- Assistance with daily routines and medication
- Home cooked meals, wellbeing activities, and a warm community atmosphere
- Contemporary bistros for casual dining and socialising
This setting is ideal for older adults who value their independence but appreciate a helping hand when needed.
2. Nursing Care
Nursing care is appropriate for individuals who have more complex medical needs or ongoing health conditions that require the expertise of trained nurses.
Nursing care homes provide:
- 24-hour support from qualified nursing staff
- Care for conditions such as Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, or chronic illness
- Medication management and regular health monitoring
- A calm and dignified environment with all the comforts of home
Nursing care is not a service currently offered by Sanders Senior Living.
3. Dementia Care
For individuals living with dementia, professional care is essential to ensure safety, comfort and a sense of purpose.
Sanders Senior Living provides compassionate memory care in a secure and supportive setting. Our staff are highly trained in dementia friendly practices, helping residents feel safe and understood, while continuing to enjoy life in a meaningful way.
Features include:
- Familiar, structured routines
- Calm, purpose designed environments
- Cognitive activities and reminiscence therapy
- Understanding, patient, and kind hearted carers
4. Respite Care
Respite care offers short-term stays within a care home setting. It is ideal for:
- Carers who need a well earned break
- Older adults recovering from surgery or illness
- Families trialling care home living before making a permanent decision
Our respite care is delivered with the same attention to detail and luxury as our long-term options. Guests enjoy all the facilities, including freshly prepared meals, social activities, and round-the-clock support.
How to Choose the Right Senior Care Option
Choosing the right level of senior care can feel overwhelming. We recommend asking the following questions:
- What level of support is currently needed?
- Are there existing medical or cognitive conditions to consider?
- Would your loved one benefit from a more sociable environment?
- Do they want to retain as much independence as possible?
- Is the care needed temporary or long-term?
At Sanders Senior Living, our experienced teams are always happy to talk through these questions with you and help assess your individual circumstances.
Why Choose a Senior Care Home?
While some support can be offered in the community or through home care services, senior care homes offer a fully integrated solution: professional care, companionship, and a homely lifestyle all under one roof.
Our care homes are built with comfort, elegance and wellbeing in mind. Residents benefit from:
- Beautiful surroundings and private en-suite rooms
- Gourmet, chef-prepared meals
- A full schedule of daily events and entertainment
- Hair salons, cinema rooms and peaceful outdoor spaces
- A friendly team committed to compassion and dignity
