 JACS offers a range of care from low-range for emergencies, mid-range for during the day with some assistance for daily activities, and full 24/7 round the clock care and assistance. 

Assisted living differs from frail care in that it places greater emphasis on personal privacy and autonomy, while frail care is for seniors who need continuous care due to physical or mental incapacity and who need skilled medical professionals providing them with appropriate care services.

Assisted living involves providing support to individuals who need some assistance with daily activities, such as getting in and out of bed, dressing, bathing and taking daily medication. These individuals can manage most tasks independently, and their care needs are limited to specific activities. With the appropriate assistance, they can maintain their independence. They may also be struggling with all of the requirements of daily life living alone such as cooking, housekeeping, maintenance and so forth and may need the connection of a community to mitigate loneliness and to stay socially engaged in stimulating activities.

Dementia is a condition typically associated with aging and it progresses through various stages from mild to moderate, culminating in severe and very severe levels of decline. JACS is suited to the mild to moderate stages and we can provide appropriate and safe care within our facility. However, caring for individuals with severe dementia necessitates specialized training and facilities and as this progression occurs, we will assist in identifying and transferring residents to the most suitable specialized facility when required, ensuring that residents receive the level of care that aligns with their condition. We will do this in collaboration with the resident and their family. 

The same applies to other health conditions that require more specialized medical care. We monitor the health of our residents regularly and should a condition arise that we are unable to continue to care for, we will again assist in identifying and transferring residents to the most suitable specialized facility for their needs when required.

 The admission process for JACs starts with a tour, followed by an assessment of your specific care needs.   We work with you and your family to create a personalized care plan and determine the appropriate level of care and pricing.  

As we want to be able to provide this personalized tailored care JACS, we want to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of each resident and their unique needs before they move in. To facilitate this, all potential residents will need to submit a standard medical report completed by their treating physician, as well as our health and well-being questionnaire to give us as much insight as possible into your preferences and requirements. This will give us a comprehensive understanding of you and will enable our team to adequately meet your care and service needs. 

We also have some supporting documentation required such as medical aid details, valid current prescriptions for medication, details of your current physicians, personal and emergency/next of kin details.
