Senior Living Communities Offer Many Benefits
As it turns out, many seniors are quite happy with their decision to move into an independent senior living or assisted living community. In part, that may be since many of today’s senior communities are loaded with numerous amenities and activities. As a resident, you are provided with a lifestyle of comfort and community as well as a sense of safety and security. Here are some of the many benefits:
When seniors move out of their family home into a senior community, they find themselves freed from lots of responsibilities. Owning a home requires routine care and maintenance such as mowing lawns and other housekeeping chores.
Seniors often live alone and experience feelings of loneliness and isolation. Also, as people age, many are reluctant to drive, which means they end up spending a lot of time at home by themselves. This is something that is not a problem in senior communities. While activities are optional, there is generally something of interest for everyone.
For seniors who do not drive anymore, senior communities usually offer some form of transportation. In addition, many routinely schedule day trips to activities such as plays, museums, shopping or other events.
We also know that many seniors who live alone do not eat well. In some cases, grocery shopping and preparing food has become difficult. Many senior communities make healthy, nutritious food a priority and offer choices such as low sodium, no sugar added etc.
As an assisted living resident, you will receive help with activities of daily living (ADLs) to provide a better quality of life. Around-the-clock care managers, access to licensed nurses and medication management are just a few of the many services senior communities provide to ensure your safety and to meet your needs.
Finally, we cannot forget the importance of socializing and making new friends at any age. Even for individuals who value their privacy, there is still the comfort of having other people around. If the event of a fall or medical emergency, help is always close at hand.
