All of our needs change as we age. As your loved one has aged, her needs have changed in numerous ways. She may no longer need a large house with a big yard to raise her children. She might find that having multiple floors in her home makes it difficult for her to get to each room, as stairs have become a challenge. That gorgeous stainless steel kitchen was wonderful at one time when making big family meals every night was a part of the routine, but now she finds herself content with one burner and the microwave.
Whether it’s time to seek independent living, assisted living, memory care, or nursing homes, senior housing & placement services has the knowledge and resources to match you with the right community.
Is It Time for Assisted Living? Here’s What to Consider
If your loved one feels swallowed up and lonely in her home, this can be the right time to talk to a senior housing & placement services advisor about assisted living options. A senior housing & placement services advisor can help you and your loved one find an assisted living community that meets her needs today and is prepared to help her transition into her next care level when the time arrives.
5 Ways Assisted Living Helps Seniors Thrive
So, if your aging loved one is ready, here are five great reasons an assisted living community might be the perfect choice for her.
Smaller living space.
When we have families, a smaller living space sounds awful but once we live alone (or with a spouse), all of those extra rooms and a yard equate to lots of extra cleaning and maintenance. A lot of elderly people have also determined they can live without a lot of material items so a nice clean apartment in a larger community might be just what they need. They can spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying the golden years.
A like-minded community
Loneliness is common among seniors. They no longer have a work environment to provide friendships, and family may move away or, sadly, pass away. They often feel lonely and unsure about how to make new friends. An assisted living community will have plenty of people just like them, looking for friendship and often having similar hobbies and passions.
Physical fitness is just for them
Another area seniors might need some help with is finding physical activities that they can participate in and are catered for them. Your loved one may love to swim but feels uncomfortable fighting off the kids and young adults in the local pool. An assisted living community may have a pool that’s only open to residents, making it the perfect place to get some exercise.
A senior housing & placement services advisor can help you find an assisted living community that has just what your loved one needs.
Social activities galore
Most assisted living communities have a social calendar posted with activities that range the gamut. If your loved one so desires, she’ll never be bored again.
Medical help is nearby
You can rest assured that if your loved one has an urgent medical need, there will be someone nearby who knows what to do and how to help.
These are just a few of the benefits of assisted living. Talk to your senior housing & placement services advisor today to see if this is the next wonderful home in your loved one’s life.
