Choosing the right retirement care in Calgary
It is vital to choose the right type of care home, based on the needs of the senior. Many Retirement homes are in fact Independent Living Communities; these homes differ from nursing homes in the level of care provided. A nursing home provides a high level of medical care while a senior home provides medical aid only if required. Assisted living communities are designed to provide residents with assistance with basic activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and more. Shawnessy also has several memory care centers for Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
A personalized care plan is prepared to assess the senior member’s health condition and also provide appropriate care.
Housekeeping, laundry and meals are provided at all senior homes. In addition, 24-hour security and many leisure activities are available. Some of the popular senior homes in Shawnessy have a resort-inspired ambience. A swimming pool, movie theatre, library, private dining room, bistro lounge, fitness room and a billiards room are some attractive recreational options you might find. Senior homes have skilled caregivers and various types of services on offer. Luxury senior homes have a five-star ambience and include fine dining, outstanding interior design and elegant furnishings.
Shawnessy has various events to facilitate communities and social work agencies in building strong relationships. The senior homes in this area have the best care providers, amenities and facilities for seniors. Today’s senior homes are a far cry from the "old age homes" of yesteryear. Seniors at these elder care homes can live with dignity and enjoy the golden years of their life in good health and peace.
Retiring to Shawnessy from out of the area
Shawnessy, in the south-west of Calgary, Alberta, is bounded by Shawnessy Boulevard to the north and MacLeod Trail to the east. The Shawnessy Town Centre is a regional shopping area located east of the community, and Fish Creek Provincial Park is located just north. The aging of the baby boomer generation is contributing to the aging population in Calgary, as it is elsewhere. Calgary’s seniors, a diverse group of people with a wide range of interests and skills, are a vital part of the community. Shawnessy retirement homes are an ideal destination for the Calgary area senior.
