Faith
Moving to a senior living community is a major life decision, but it's one that can help support your walk with God. Choosing a faith-based community, like those under the Bethesda Senior Living Communities umbrella, offers even more support as you grow closer to God. Learn how your choice of senior living impacts your faith and how you can maximize the benefits.
Faith
Assisted living supports the independence of seniors who need a little extra help to manage daily activities. By moving into a faith-based community, residents also receive spiritual support to help them strengthen their walk of faith.
Family & Caregiving
Deciding if it's time to move to assisted living is often a lengthy, emotional decision. Your loved one benefits from your support as they make this life-changing decision. Whether the family is pushing for the move or your loved one knows it's time, having at least one person in their corner makes them feel supported and loved. Here are some ways you can be there for that special person as they decide about assisted living.
Senior Living Options
As of 2020, nearly 7 million American seniors use residential long-term care services, including assisted living and memory care communities. Industry experts expect this number to surge in the coming years as the population continues to age, increasing the need for effective long-term care solutions.
Community Life & Activities
Reading for pleasure and knowledge is a powerful habit to cultivate at any age. In fact, recent research indicates that leisure reading can help improve episodic memory and working memory. Working memory may naturally decline with age, and this is part of what supports language processing and long-term memory in the brain, so engaging in activities that strengthen this cognitive function can be a good idea as you enter retirement.
