Health professionals have observed that loneliness plays a great role in the health problems that arise in an individual with age. These could range from cardiac disease, depression, diabetes, and much more. However, moving into a senior living community can be greatly beneficial to older adults for several reasons. Here are some key health advantages you can expect.
Improve Diet & Nutrition
Whether it’s planning a grocery trip or what you’ll eat for your meals, or taking care of other household duties, maintaining proper nutrition can be difficult for many as they age. Senior living residences that offer chef-prepared meals provide residents with healthy and nutritious meals. Our Roseville senior living community offers delicious dinners in our dining room and lunch in our bistro. What’s even better is that you get ten dinners per month included in your monthly rent. You can always purchase more dinners after you use the 10, or have lunch in the bistro if cooking isn’t your cup of tea.
Quality and Secure Accommodations
People moving into senior living communities may be coming from an older home that may not have all the safety features they need. In an independent senior living community, you live in an environment where your safety is of prime importance, meaning the space you’re living in is built with the safety of seniors in mind. A few common safety features you might find in a senior living community are listed below:
- Grab bars in the bathrooms
- Handrails in the hallways
- Good lighting
- Walk-in showers or bathtub with a cut-out
- 24-hour front desk concierge
- Computer monitored smoke detectors & fire sprinkling system
Creating Bonds & Friendship
Moving into a senior living community can surround you with like-minded people who share similar interests and moved for the same purposes can have a great impact on the mental health and emotional well-being of seniors. At RosePointe, sharing wonderful, planned activities and entertainment with others provides companionship and opportunities for ongoing socialization. This helps build a friend group, so older adults feel less alone.
Lower Anxiety and Stress Levels
If you ask a senior what it’s like living in an older home, they will likely tell you about how stressful it can be. Hiring someone to lend a hand with housekeeping and maintenance around the house can alleviate some stress, but they still have to put up with the burden of keeping things coordinated and organized. When a senior moves into a Roseville senior living community such as RosePointe, they give up stressful household responsibilities and can focus on other aspects of life such as leisure and relaxation.
