Why Families Trust Discovery Senior Living Communities
Over 800,000 Americans reside in senior living, but not every community they live in is created equal. Discovery Senior Living communities have features and amenities that others don't, and older adults across the US can enjoy their golden years in style with us.
LakeHouse Fond du Lac in Wisconsin is one of the best Discovery senior communities out there. Read on to learn why it's part of the best senior care network in the US.
Discovery Senior Living: An Extensive Network
Discovery Senior Living owns and operates over 110 communities across the United States. They house approximately 15,000 residents.
Because of this, Discovery senior communities exist in a tried and true senior care network. They have licensed caregivers and comfortable apartments in nearly every US state.
Being part of an expansive network means that Discovery communities commit to offering a consistent standard of care. Our good ratings expand past just one location, so you can rely on us to bring the same care that we have brought to 15,000 other individuals to your loved one.
A Stellar Reputation for Elder Living Solutions
Discovery senior communities have a nationwide reputation for excellence. At LakeHouse Fond du Lake, a single Discovery community, residents note that they enjoy several aspects of community living. They include:
- Large and beautiful rooms with lots of natural light
- Warm, easy-to-communicate-with caregivers
- Friendly and helpful staff members with smiles on their faces
- A safe, comfortable environment
One resident even likened the community to a "gorgeous ballroom" because of its chandeliers, high-end furnishings, and crackling fireplace!
These reviews all stem from a single community, but other Discovery senior residents across the US also enjoy their benefits. The U.S. News & World Report confirmed this by naming 148 Discovery communities as the "Best" in senior living.
This puts them in the top 25% of communities across the nation!
Personally-Tailored Care
Assisted living communities offer a wide range of services to residents, such as:
- Standing up, sitting down, and lying in bed
- Choosing clothes and getting dressed
- Showering and/or bathing
- Brushing teeth
- Combing hair
- Using the bathroom
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Apartment maintenance
- Managing medication and injections (such as insulin)
However, no two residents will have exactly the same needs. Most only require help with some tasks. Chances are, your loved one can complete some daily tasks by themselves, even if they require assisted living for other reasons.
That's why Discovery senior communities all work to create individualized care plans for every community resident!
When it's time for your loved one to move in, we'll sit down with them. Family members can also be present and provide invaluable insight to caregivers. After all, no one knows what your aging loved one can do better than you do.
We'll discuss:
- What the new resident struggles with most
- The underlying causes of these challenges
- What your loved one can do on their own
- How we can make autonomous tasks easier to complete
- Whether you currently anticipate changing needs soon
- Specific ways that we can help new residents resolve their challenges
Based on this conversation, our compassionate staff will create a written care plan tailored to your loved one's specific needs. This ensures that they get the care they require in our senior care network.
Communication and Transparency
The Discovery group reputation is based on stellar communication. We actively listen to seniors' and families' concerns even at the initial senior living consultation. This lets us create the initial care plan easily.
However, family involvement doesn't stop there. We also loop you in on any changes made to the care plan. You can offer input and insight, which our caregivers value and take into account for future planning.
We're also committed to communicating with residents. This is part of getting to know them as individuals and hearing their stories. Those in our communities always have a voice.
We also inform them of changes in the community they live in. They also get a say in what they can and can't do, which gives them the chance to try new tasks and retain a sense of purpose.
Exclusive Programs
Many assisted living communities offer basic services and no more. Discovery communities go above and beyond, offering a wide range of programs to enhance seniors' lifestyles.
Health and wellness programs are among the most important. Our seniors get access to:
- Educational courses about remaining healthy while aging
- Fitness classes, including stretching and yoga
- Outdoor walking paths for fresh air and vitamin D
- Healthy dining with chef-prepared meals made with fresh ingredients
- Cognitive activities to stave off dementia and cognitive decline
- A wide range of activities and events for social and emotional wellness
- Religious services for spiritual well-being
- Therapy and calming activities for emotional and intellectual wellness
We also offer stunning amenities that residents can take advantage of through these programs. Landscaped outdoor areas are perfect for relaxation, and library spaces and game rooms are perfect for intellectual stimulation.
This lets families trust that Discovery senior living communities have the resources and knowledge needed to care for their loved one.
You can also take advantage of our Military Veterans Program if your loved one served in the armed forces. This offers half off the first month's rent in honor of those who served.
