What is assisted living?
Assisted living communities are designed for people who need support with activities of daily living. Typically, this includes mobility support, medication management and help with bathing and dressing. Support is available for additional care needs. If your needs change over time, you can always add on services. Assisted living facilities also includes staff who take care of daily chores, like cooking, cleaning and laundry. The transition can be difficult for some people, but there are many perks that come with the move.
Here's a brief snapshot of what you can expect in assisted living in Parksville:
Tight-knit community
Parksville assisted living facilities excel at community creation. In fact, one of the most exciting perks of retirement living is the close community of peers and staff available to you, right in your home. Your neighbours will soon become great friends and a wonderful support system. Staff are welcoming, hardworking and accommodating, not to mention highly skilled.
In assisted living, it's easy to get to know your neighbours, and people look out for each other here. The lifestyle is community-focused. However, if you prefer some peaceful alone time, you can always retreat to your apartment-style suite!
Daily activities
What helps bond communities is the plethora of daily activities. These are designed to help residents connect with neighbours and grow friendships. Those who live alone as they age may find it difficult to participate in their local community. In assisted living, however, in-house care affords residents increased time and energy. You'll be able to pursue hobbies, or fill up your social calendar once again. You can spend the afternoon in the library with a great book, or enjoy fresh popcorn and a movie at the in-house movie theatre. You can meet up with friends in the dining room for breakfast, followed by a group fitness class in the wellness centre!
Serene, peaceful living
Assisted living in Parksville also benefits from Canada's only Mediterranean climate. Overlooking the Strait of Georgia, these communities offer an atmosphere that's tough to beat, many of them featuring a resort-like lifestyle.
