The benefits of moving to senior living
We recommend that seniors regularly ask the question, “What does independence mean?” Or: “Am I truly independent?” Don’t mistake living alone in your own home as independence.
Here are some more specific questions to consider:
- Can you step outside your door and meet people every day?
- Can you really do all the things you want to do?
- Are you lonely sometimes? More often than just sometimes?
Independent senior living is called that, in part, because it’s liberating. Seniors find a new environment rejuvenating. Many of them didn’t know they could live so well.
With staff around in a secure building, and lots of people looking out for you, this is also freeing for families. They gain peace of mind. They’re no longer worried about you.
You’ll also find that life becomes simpler. You have everything you need in a suite that’s right-sized for you.
