Most seniors want to retain their independence for as long as possible, and for that reason, they often resist the idea of moving to a retirement home. However, many seniors living at home are relying more and more for their family members to help them.  Their children visit to “do chores' and not necessarily socialize. Assisted living communities focus on providing amenities and senior care services so that seniors actually do remain independent.  When their families visit, they spend quality time visiting, not caregiving. Here are a just few of the benefits of assisted living communities.

5 Reasons to Move to an Assisted Living Community

1. You Won’t Have to Worry About Home Maintenance

Maintaining a home means keeping up with housework, landscaping, weatherproofing, and repairs, to name just a few. As you get older, taking on all of these tasks can be a struggle. At an independent living facility, all of these mundane chores are taken care of, so you can relax and spend time doing the activities that you enjoy.

2. You’ll Get Assistance With Daily Needs

Your senior living arrangement can be tailored to your needs and physical abilities. Many communities offer assistance with preparing meals, cleaning your home, dressing, grooming, and administering medications. Even if you don’t need help with any of these daily living tasks now, you may later on.

3. You’ll Stay Active

Life Enrichment programs and Wellness programs offer many opportunities to stay active and fit. Exercise and socialization are essential for maintaining good health as you age, as it helps you stay energized, boosts your mood, and improves your mental function.

One of the best things about these communities is the focus on stimulating and rewarding social activities. BINGO, field trips, card games, and movie nights are just a few examples. Unlike many places where you barely know your neighbors, you’ll get to know your fellow residents and make lifelong friends.

5. You’ll Feel Safe & Secure

You’ll have a sense of security knowing that you’re in a community that’s looking out for your well-being. Designed with safety and security in mind, many assisted living communities are one-story so seniors don’t need to worry about stairs and elevators.
