Why wait?
Most of the time, it seems to be human nature to just WAIT till things become necessary. Waiting for senior living is no different for most of us. As we age we like to keep our "normal" till it just isn't logical any longer. Certain tasks become harder, we begin to need help with cooking, cleaning, and yard work, just to name a few. We see this pretty often. Our residents are independent but things have gotten harder over time.
From the outside looking in, let me share what I have noticed. Some residents adjust wonderfully and they accept that things have gotten harder and this change is welcomed. Some on the other hand, have a hard time adjusting. Not only are they learning to accept the things that have become a struggle but now they have to accept a needed move, be in a new environment, with new people with a lot of adjusting to do.
Sometimes waiting till the last minute can make that transition more overwhelming than it has to be. Some of our residents have joined us prior to actually NEEDING our services. They moved in, got adjusted, and built friendships. They learn the processes and how things work PRIOR to actually NEEDING it. When taking this route, you allow yourself to adjust and become accustom to fewer things at a time instead of having to face everything all at once.
We still have residents who drive and never utilize the transportation services but they know they can if and when it is needed. We have some residents who eat most meals from our kitchen but they still love to cook so they have small appliances in their apartments for those special meals that they want to make. We still have residents that do all of their own cleaning and maybe just utilize our housekeeping if they are having a rough week or maybe they only have housekeeping sweep and mop but they do all the rest.
Being an independent senior living community with all inclusive rates, all of those services are included in your monthly rate from the start which means your rate will not increase just because you are no longer comfortable driving, or because you need consistent weekly housekeeping. Our rates also include all utilities, landline phone service, cable television service and Wi-Fi Internet and of course, the THREE MEALS PER DAY!
So why wait?
