The Comforts of Senior Living
We all want to live in a comfortable environment that makes us feel safe and empowered to be independent as we age, and that’s the benefit of choosing a thoughtful senior living community.
“I feel very comfortable as a single woman living alone here, and there’s a good mixture of people for me to spend time with.”
-Eileen, Concord Reserve resident
Community
Within senior living, you have a true sense of community thanks to all the people who make a welcoming home through:
- Events, programs, and trips to nearby cities
- Holidays and other celebrations that have become traditions for the community
- Neighborhood environments where residents and associates become lifelong companions
Dining and Nutrition
The dining experience and nutritional expertise available in senior living also bring great comfort to residents due to:
- Healthy comfort foods that are familiar and special
- Opportunities to go shopping and learn to cook as empowering and enjoyable experiences
- Unique and flexible dining options that support different resident lifestyles
Holistic Health Services
A senior living community may go beyond the typical health services provided with a holistic approach:
- Amenities, programs, and classes that support many ways of wellness
- Personalized care and support tailored to your needs, from on-site salons to therapy
- The complete continuum of care that incorporates all levels of living, from continuing care at home programs to hospice
Housing
From apartments to villas, senior living communities incorporate age-friendly features to help you stay comfortable and independent, such as:
- Emergency call systems and security staff
- Housekeeping and landscaping services so you can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle
- Room for guests, hobbies, and loving pets
- Well-lit walkways and common areas with grab bars
Location
You want to be comfortable wherever you settle, and the senior living community you choose may allow you to:
- Be closer to family and spend more time with them
- Connect with nature through special gardens, walking paths, and water features
- Continue residing in the same area you grew up in or stayed previously, so you can still go to all your familiar spots
- Stay in the same community even if you have to move to a different level of living because of the continuum of care
Technology
Knowing how to use the latest technology keeps us connected and independent, so it’s a great comfort to have these senior living resources:
- Access to technology such as computers and lobby portals
- Connections to telehealth services and providers
- Educational classes on using technology and practicing digital health and cyber security
