Seniors often want to remain in their own homes. Many of them have raised their family in the home, and they don’t want to lose the family house. The concern with many of these types of homes is the bathrooms and bedrooms are usually on the second floor. The stairs can create a safety risk. Another concern is the size of the home and maintaining the inside and the outside. The neighborhood may have changed with families moving away, and the seniors become isolated within their home. Senior Housing offers them a new lease on life.
One of the biggest concerns of seniors and family is safety. Slip and falls can occur anywhere inside or outside of the home. The difference of being in a private home versus Senior Housing is there is help available. There will never be the worry that no one will be around to help them if they need it, the units are on one level. Seniors can choose a studio apartment up to a three bedroom. If a senior needs assistance with daily meal preparation or transportation, assisted living is also available. Living in an assisted living complex is not a nursing home. It is when a trained caregiver will arrive to help them dress, bathe or prepare meals.
Proper nutrition is one of the most important things for seniors. Eating healthy and well-balanced meals will help to keep them strong and nourished. In addition, the seniors will have other individuals around them they can talk to and make friends with. They won’t be isolated inside of their apartment if they don’t want to be. Socialization helps to keep depression at bay when many of their friends may have moved away or passed. Seniors will have the opportunity to listen to music, exercise, play cards and attend events in the community with others their age.
