What Is Senior Living?
Senior living is an umbrella term for the housing and healthcare options available for seniors. As you can imagine, a vast spectrum of needs are represented on the senior living continuum. Senior living encompasses independent living, assisted living, and memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Seniors may also find short- or long-term skilled nursing care, in-home care services, or rehabilitation offered in many senior living communities.
What’s the Difference Between Independent and Assisted Living?
Independent living for seniors allows a luxurious, maintenance-free lifestyle with many community perks. Assisted living allows seniors to live in comfortable surroundings with access to the support they may need to complete everyday tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, or medication management.
How Do You Know It’s Time to Consider a Senior Community?
The answer to this will vary from person to person. Ask yourself the following questions to determine if an active adult community may be right for you or a loved one:
- Do you require assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, cooking, etc.)?
- Are you experiencing chronic or worsening health issues?
- Do you have difficulty remembering to take your daily medications?
- Have you experienced rapid weight loss or gain due to poor eating habits?
- Are you experiencing mobility issues?
- Are you exhausted from home and yard maintenance?
- Do you feel lonely, depressed, or isolated?
- Is it difficult for you to find a reliable caregiver?
- Have friends or family members expressed concerns?
How Do You Choose a Senior Living Community?
Investment, location, and amenities are among the chief factors when choosing a senior living community. Do you want to remain close to family or live somewhere desirable, such as near a historical town, coastal region, or urban environment? Are you looking for a community with on-site primary care for your evolving medical needs? Do they offer a diverse, nutritious menu? How welcoming do the staff and common areas feel? How important is having access to on-site pools, fitness centers, and personal trainers? However, you’ve answered these questions, Cambridge Village makes a one-of-a-kind place to call your new home.
You should also consider the interesting, friendly people you’re sure to meet during retirement. At Cambridge Village, our residents range from retired professors to cowboys. Making new friends is a breeze, thanks to our active social calendar and other great amenities to help you age in place. Create the lifestyle you want and enjoy the ride at Cambridge Village!
Do Most Senior Living Communities Allow Pets?
Most senior communities are pet-friendly, so that you can bring your furry companions from home. However, for the safety and well-being of residents, undomesticated or exotic pets may not be allowed. Be sure to check with your specific senior community to view their rules regarding pet ownership.
