Assisted Living
A delicious, healthy meal is always close at hand when you live in an assisted living community. More importantly, gathering around a table with others provides benefits beyond the food on the plate. When you have your meals in the community's dining room, your days can feel richer and more satisfying.
Memory Care
While excessive screen time can have negative consequences in all groups, smartphone technology in memory care also offers benefits for many residents. Understanding those benefits and being aware of the potential drawbacks is important for family members who want to make good decisions for their loved ones. When used wisely, smartphones can keep your loved one connected, engaged and feeling independent.
Everyday Living
Respite services are short-term care options that allow primary caregivers, often family members, to take a break. The concept of respite care is often misunderstood by loved ones who are trying their best to provide an older adult with a loving, supportive environment and family care. Leaving Mom, Dad or another loved one in respite care can feel like giving in to selfish needs, but that's far from the case.
Independent Living
Most Americans don't drink enough water every day to adequately hydrate their bodies. One study indicated that 3 in 4 adults aren't drinking more than 2.5 cups of water — far short of the recommended eight cups a day.
Independent Living
Community living involves having a roommate in a senior living environment. Often, two people live together in an independent or assisted living apartment. They each have their own private bedroom, but they share common spaces like living rooms and kitchenettes.
Assisted Living
Moving into an assisted living apartment is a major change, and deciding what to bring is an important part of making the transition easier. It's common to downsize your belongings before you make the move to assisted living due to the often smaller square footage of your new apartment. That means you might have to be selective about what goes along with you. There are also items that might be prohibited or that are better left somewhere else.
