What is assisted living in Kelowna?
Assisted living provides seniors with extra medical and personal care. As we age, daily tasks like eating, bathing and dressing may become more difficult. In assisted living, care workers are on-site 24/7 to help with this. Assistance provided helps residents maintain their independence.
Improves physical health
Alongside assistance with daily tasks like bathing and mobility, specialized care is available for those who need it. This could include oxygen assistance, catheter care, vitals monitoring or help with cognitive care. Staff are dedicated to their work, and support the needs of residents so they can live fulfilling lives. Residents feel rejuvenated and revitalized after moving into assisted living.
Above all, assisted living takes the stress away from residents or worried loved ones. Aging parents often bring about many anxieties about safety and well-being. Daily assistance and emergency care available helps calm these anxieties. And if your needs change with respect to mobility or dementia, care can also be available.
Improves mental health
Assisted living facilities strive to ensure their residents’ overall health and well-being are taken care of. For many, aging can bring mental health struggles. Oftentimes, this is due to a change in lifestyle or social isolation. Assisted living helps residents combat this. They provide the care residents need to adjust to this new lifestyle. A full social calendar helps seniors can stay busy and make new friends.
One family member attested to this in a recent testimonial, affirming their Kelowna retirement home “gave my dad new life. [After 9 years of living alone] he deteriorated, depression set in and he did not want to see anyone. [Right] after moving into [assisted living], he is social again, [has] made new friends and [is] very busy with his new life.”
Invite your friends and family
The assisted living communities in Kelowna are so impressively designed and decorated that you'll be thrilled to show it off to your friends and family. You can treat them to a first-class dining experience by inviting them to a sit-down dinner. They can even accompany you to the community pool, games room, or enjoy a craft beer in the pub!
As you age, travelling can be challenging. It can be tough to get in and out of vehicles or difficult to navigate a family member’s home that lacks accessibility features. Assisted living, however, is designed for seniors, making it easy for them to visit you. They may even be jealous as you give them the tour!
