If your elderly loved one lives alone, you may have questions about their quality of life, including concerns about their physical health, safety, emotional well-being and social connections. There may come a time when you must decide if your loved can safely age in place, or if it is time to explore long-term living options.
An assisted living community is an excellent option for many seniors who still desire freedom but need a little extra support with activities of daily living. Residents in assisted living benefit from 24/7 support, safety, socialization and an array of amenities to ensure their happiness and comfort. Likewise, family members receive peace of mind in knowing their senior loved one is being well-cared for.
Assisted living improves quality of life by offering:
- Independence – Loss of independence is a common fear among seniors transitioning to senior living. At Country Place, our communities provide a personalized approach to care plans, which mean residents can get support with as much or as little as they need. This balanced approach to care helps promote independence—not relinquish it—and even helps seniors feel more empowered by not having to call family and friends for assistance.
- Less stress – Residents of an assisted living community can say goodbye to home maintenance, housekeeping, routine repairs and yardwork. With the added benefit of having meals prepared daily, seniors can feel less stressed about managing a home and instead enjoy more time pursing interests that make them happy.
- Conveniences – On-site amenities are wonderful perks to living in an assisted living community. At Country Place, residents enjoy spacious suites with a range of floor plans, updated common areas, award-winning courtyard space, an exercise room, a quiet library and a dining area, to name a few. All these conveniences can be enjoyed right outside your door!
- Connection—Engaging with others not only improves physical and cognitive health, but it also helps guard against loneliness and social isolation in your senior years. In an assisted living community, residents never have to worry about being alone or bored.
- At Country Place, we provide monthly calendars filled with social events, fitness programs, group classes, clubs and entertainment opportunities. From game nights and bible studies to coffee meet-ups and craft sessions, our tight-knit communities make it easy to connect with neighbors and friends on a regular basis.
- Peace of mind – It is difficult to achieve quality of life when you are living with fear about your safety and security. Assisted living communities are designed with your safety and comfort in mind. With around-the-clock support, a safe community layout that minimizes fall hazards and a 24/7 emergency response system, seniors and their family members gain peace of mind knowing that a helping hand is close by if needed.
The move to assisted living is a pivotal step toward improved quality of life for seniors. At Country Place Senior Living, we are committed to providing nurturing care in a home-like environment where our residents can thrive.
