The transition of an elder to sober living is a challenging decision for many. It is not uncommon for elder’s to suffer from dementia, or for them to be bipolar. These conditions often change a person’s perception of the world around them. Therefore it is important to know as much as possible about the many options available to an elder with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or bipolar. The place to start is with the many resources that are available at the Transitional Living centers in Richmond Kentucky. This center has a mission of “providing an atmosphere of compassion and caring for your fellow human being while encouraging self determination, independence, and a return to dignity.” They are a private agency that was founded in 1974. There are many other centers throughout the country that also provide similar services, but there are many more in the Richmond Region alone. Each of them offer a variety of activities and services for their residents. One of the most popular of the programs offered is Senior Wellness. This program offers a very friendly environment where you can learn so much without feeling uncomfortable. There are so many elderly citizens that might qualify for this program; it can be hard to filter through all of the applicants. In order to speed up the screening process they require a minimal amount of information about the person. Once the person has provided all of the information they need they will be matched with a resident that fits their particular criteria.
