Vitalia Montrose Discusses Benefits of the Community Lifestyle

As we get older, it’s only natural to start pondering what the future holds and what our living arrangements might be like. For many older adults, transitioning to a senior living community can be the perfect solution for their evolving needs. Here at Vitalia Montrose, senior living presents a range of benefits worth considering, including a strong sense of community, reduced responsibilities, access to care, and heightened levels of safety. 

Some aging adults are hesitant to move into senior living and take longer to make a move because many feel that they are losing their independence. They don’t want to leave their homes, neighbors, and even certain stores they are used to going to. I have heard, “I am not old enough to be in a home.” This generation has a bad outlook on what senior living looks like.

Senior living can reduce the responsibilities of older adults of cooking, cleaning, yard work, and laundry. These are all areas senior living can manage for residents. And senior living can give families peace of mind with 24-hour staffing. If there is a fall, someone is there to assist. Living in a smaller space, where meals and housekeeping is provided, is assuring. During my 14 years in the field, I’ve seen many older adults have their health improve after moving into assisted living. They have time to rest and do what they enjoy, without daily tasks and issues of maintaining a household.

At Arrow senior living communities, residents live in private apartments, with their own belongings, bringing a piece of home with them. The food choices and quality are excellent, being able to eat whenever fits their schedule. Residents are given choices about when they get up, what time they shower, and care plans are customized to meet their routines and needs.

All in all, senior living can provide a comfortable, supportive environment for aging adults who are ready to streamline and simplify their lives. If you would like more information on the senior living lifestyle, please contact your nearest Arrow Senior Living community.
