Assisted Living
We offer various types of assisted living, ranging from home-based care to supportive care (frail care) and dedicated dementia care.
Home-based Care
To the extent possible, we are able to deliver most care and support services in your home within our Auria communities.
This means that even if your needs change, you may never have to move into a dedicated assisted living or care environment, as we can bring the care and support you need, directly to you in order for you to:
- Get better (e.g. acute illness recovery period).
- Regain your independence and become as self-sufficient as possible.
- Maintain your current condition or level of function for as long as possible.
- Remain in your preferred environment for as long as possible.
Supportive Care (Frail Care)
We provide all the ADL-assistance required by someone who might be considered frail, but we don’t see it as a category, nor as the beginning of an inevitable decline.
Our continuum of care approach means that you receive the assistance you need, within a supportive environment that presents the opportunity for an improved quality of life.
Frail care is the prevention or delaying of functional decline in older persons who are in need of assistance with ‘activities of daily living’ (ADLs) due to their general health status (which can be of chronic nature or due to the natural aging process) in a place where they have access to care assistance and/or specialised nursing services 24/7.
Dementia Care
Dementia Care
Those with dementia have very specific requirements and require a unique care environment.
Dementia is a general term for diseases and conditions characterised by a decline in memory, problem-solving, language and other thinking skills that affects one’s ability to perform daily tasks.
Although it can occur at any age, it is more common in people over 80 years of age and is one of the most common causes of dependency in older adults.
We offer dedicated dementia care in certain Auria communities.
Our clinical-social hybrid approach is based on an internationally successful example in which people with dementia are integrated socially within a secure and controlled community, allowing them the opportunity to benefit from the many activities and specialised support available.
Our focus in dementia care is to establish an authentic caring relationship by knowing the person and the person’s reality and to support meaningful engagement through a collaborative team approach. Families are encouraged to participate in all decision making processes and in a regular assessment programme.
Through this holistic, person-centred approach, our residents can enjoy their best quality of life.
Our philosophy in this regard aims to break down the misunderstandings and stigmas associated with dementia, which often stand in the way of optimal care.
