Making the decision to move a parent or loved one into a senior living community is a significant life event. It naturally comes with a wave of emotions and a long list of questions.
At Vedaanta Senior Living, we believe that transparency is the foundation of trust.
We have compiled the top 10 questions families ask us during their search, along with our direct answers, to help you make an informed choice with confidence.
1. What levels of care do you offer?
Vedaanta's Answer: We provide a full continuum of care on-site. Whether a resident needs Independent Living, Assisted Living, or specialized Memory Care, we have the infrastructure to support them. This means residents can age in place without the stress of moving to a different facility as their needs change.
2. What kind of medical facilities are available?
Vedaanta's Answer: Health is our priority. We feature an in-house medical facility managed by a 24/7 paramedical team. Ambulances with drivers are available within the community for any immediate emergency. We also have an in-house physiotherapist dedicated to managing resident mobility as needs increase with age. Additionally, we have established tie-ups with nearby top-tier hospitals for specialized medical intervention.
3. What does daily life look like for a resident?
Vedaanta's Answer: Boring days are a thing of the past here. Our calendar is packed with active options, including stretching classes, music sessions, cultural and spiritual events, movie screenings, and group outings. We have a dedicated team at Vedaanta that organizes these events, allowing residents to relax and truly enjoy their retirement at their own pace.
4. How are meals and diets managed?
Vedaanta's Answer: We believe food should be both healthy and delicious. Our specialty chefs work alongside our in-house dietitian to prepare fresh, nutritious menus. These meals cater to the specific dietary requirements of seniors while maintaining that comforting, home-cooked taste.
5. Can family visit or video call?
Vedaanta's Answer: Absolutely. We operate with a flexible visitation policy for family members. For those living far away, our team helps schedule and facilitate virtual connections through platforms such as Google Meet, ensuring you never feel out of touch.
6. How do you handle the transition to higher care?
Vedaanta's Answer: Aging is a journey, and needs change. We offer seamless migration to higher levels of care (such as moving from independent to assisted living) as the resident's health requirements evolve, ensuring continuity, familiarity, and comfort.
7. What is included in the cost?
Vedaanta's Answer: Our pricing is designed for peace of mind. The cost generally includes all campus amenities, regular housekeeping, deep cleaning services, dining, group activities, and basic care services.
8. How do you ensure security and privacy?
Vedaanta's Answer: Safety is non-negotiable. Our campuses are gated with 24/7 security personnel, strict visitor logging, and CCTV surveillance systems, ensuring residents are safe around the clock while maintaining their personal privacy.
9. How do you handle medical emergencies?
Vedaanta's Answer: We are prepared for every scenario. With 24/7 paramedical staff availability, emergency nurse call buttons in resident rooms, and on-call ambulance services, help is always just seconds away. Furthermore, our non-medical staff is trained periodically to handle emergencies within the community effectively.
10. Are pets and guests allowed?
Vedaanta's Answer: We want this to feel like home. We are a pet-friendly community because we know companions come in all shapes and sizes. We also provide guest rooms for family members who wish to stay over.
