PLATINUM COMMUNITIES

DIABETES CARE

Respite Care

Respite care can give you time to focus on holiday preparations or just take a break, and have peace of mind knowing your loved one is being cared for.

Short-term respite stays are offered by all Platinum Communities.

At Platinum Communities, we take a unique approach to health and wellness, offering a team of caregivers who have experience in diabetes management.  We’re committed to becoming an assisted living provider like none other. We use the latest innovations in medication distribution and implement educational programs for both residents and their loved ones. That means one less thing for you and your loved one to worry about.

Challenges for Senior with Diabetes

Through a combination of lifestyle changes, education, and medication, it is possible to control the disease and improve the quality of life for your loved one. Our communities and the care staff that work there, strive to find solutions to the unique challenges that seniors face with diabetes:

  • Medication Administration: For many of our seniors, medication management is a challenge. Our caregivers utilize the latest in medical technologies and innovations to ensure that medications are taken properly and as needed.
  • Exercise and Physical Limitations: As we age, we naturally may experience a lack of mobility. For a senior with diabetes, this can drastically limit their ability to engage in much-needed physical exercise. Caregivers work with diabetes patients to craft an exercise routine that keeps their limitations in mind. Plus, guided programs help them to stay motivated, offering the opportunity to exercise with other residents and friends.
  • Healthy Eating: For many seniors, access to adequate nutritional information and dietary planning can be a challenge. At Platinum Communities, we offer delicious and nutritious chef-inspired cuisine, as well as meal planning assistance designed with the needs of a diabetic in mind.
