Health & Wellness
For seniors, a serious injury can be a life-changing event. Recovery is possible, though, thanks to the body’s ability to heal. Taking good care of yourself after an injury can support the recovery process. In this guide, we’ll share tips on what you can do to help yourself while your body mends.
Health & Wellness
Everyone has aches and pains occasionally, but chronic pain is an ongoing experience that can increase as you get older. Chronic health conditions often cause pain as one of the symptoms. Arthritis is a common source in older adults. Chronic pain can cause aching, shooting, throbbing or burning sensations. Learning how to deal with this ongoing pain can improve your quality of life.
Community Life & Activities
At Bethesda Senior Living, we're big fans of lifelong learning. Many of our residents attend workshops, take classes and join local book clubs, giving them plenty of opportunities to socialize while they learn. If you'd rather read on your own, pick up one of these biographies. You may be inspired to learn a new skill or strengthen your personal relationships.
Independent Living
Maintaining your independence doesn't mean you have to do it all alone. Using digital apps on your phone or tablet can give you a little extra support to help you stay safe and keep up with your independent lifestyle. Consider these types of apps.
Faith
You've probably heard — perhaps most of your life — about the importance of an attitude of gratitude. Did you know, however, that modern science backs up what your grandma or mother might have told you all those years ago? Keep reading to find out more about the power of gratitude and how journaling can help you tap into those benefits.
Assisted Living
Respite care gives you a break from your caregiving duties. While respite care communities provide many basics for their temporary residents, there are some things you're responsible for bringing. Other items are things that can help your loved one feel more comfortable during their stay. Always check with the community for guidelines on what you should and shouldn't send, as they might have different procedures or recommendations.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or someone you love, our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about what comes next. Fill out the form and a Bethesda team member will reach out shortly to help you find the right fit for you or your loved one.
