At the first mention of assisted living facilities, many seniors would say they’d prefer to stay at home. Assisted living facilities are often associated with dull, drab, facilities and a loss of independence. However, this stereotype is not the reality for modern, state-of-the-art assisted living facilities. Today’s facilities even provide a host of benefits such as these:
Socialization
Seniors living at home may be prone to bouts of loneliness, boredom, and depression. Assisted living facilities provide many social activities such as movie nights, game nights, and communal dining, ensuring that seniors’ lives remain vibrant and exciting.
Aid
Assisted living staff members are always ready to help with any senior’s needs. Whether it’s medication, hygiene, or home maintenance, staff members will ease seniors’ worries and concerns so they can live relaxed and carefree.
Health and Wellness
Assisted living facilities make a concerted effort to ensure their seniors remain in good health. Wellness programs often include nutritious meals, access to nurses with physician oversight, and even fun exercise programs.
Independence
Assisted living facilities are not nursing homes or convalescent hospitals. Staff is there to assist seniors, rather than monitoring or overseeing them. Assisted living allows seniors to roam freely and partake in enjoyable activities without the hassle of home responsibilities.
