An independent living community offers the best of both worlds. You have your own private space, as well as opportunities for socializing whenever you feel like it. That’s important because community is more important than ever as we age. Research shows isolation puts seniors at higher risk for heart disease, cancer, stroke, depression, and other medical conditions.
Senior living communities like Holiday Retirement offer studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, as well as private cottages. Just like any other home, you’re able to furnish and decorate however you’d like, so it feels cozy and welcoming.
Independent living communities are residences that include apartments, meals, social activities, transportation, and amenities meant to simplify life for older adults. All of these services are included in rent, making independent living communities convenient and affordable for many older adults.
Today’s senior living options are a far cry from the past. Historically, older adults moved into a senior living community based out of need. They may have had medical issues or cognitive issues. Perhaps their loved ones made the decision for them. That isn’t the case now.
There are still senior living options like nursing homes for people struggling with serious medical or functional issues. However, the last few decades have given rise to a different kind of senior living community. One that allows older adults to focus on enjoyment, relaxation, and growth. An independent living community is one of these options.
Assisted living communities are geared toward seniors who may have minor cognitive or mobility issues that interfere with their ability to do daily tasks.
Assisted living typically includes personal care services like:
- Bathing
- Getting dressed
- Getting into bed
- Taking medications as instructed
- Getting to and from meals, activities, and the restroom
These retirement communities also include amenities like:
- Meals
- Utilities
- Maintenance
- Transportation
- Group activities
- Housekeeping
Assisted living communities are not health care facilities. They do not provide the same level of medical care and personal assistance as nursing homes. People with Alzheimers, significant medical conditions, or severe mobility issues are better suited for nursing homes or memory care units.
If you need help with everyday activities, but don’t require daily medical oversight, an assisted living community could be a good option. These retirement communities can help older adults who value independence, but are at risk of danger or discomfort living alone.
