The decision to relocate to an assisted living center in Sacramento is not a matter to take likely. You are understandably concerned about losing your independence and moving out of a home that you may have lived in for years or even decades. Financial concerns may also require your attention. At Splendor Oaks Senior Living, we understand how significant these and other factors may seem. At the same time, we actively provide a caring environment that promotes a better quality of life for our residents. In fact, these are five reasons to consider moving into an assisted living center.
Social Interaction
Loneliness and social isolation are common among seniors, and they can directly contribute to depression. Your assisted living center in Sacramento is the perfect environment for you to develop new friendships with wonderful people. You will also regularly benefit from friendly interaction from caregivers who are always ready to chat.
Physical Activities
Many senior citizens are challenged by keeping up with chores and other essential activities. At the same time, they may not have easy access to fun or enriching activities. In an assisted living center, housekeeping, laundry and other chores will be taken care of by the staff. You will have more free time and more energy to spend on activities that are enjoyable to you. With many structured activities planned throughout the week, you will have plenty of options.
Skilled Care
In an assisted living facility, you will be encouraged to do as much for yourself as you are able to. However, skilled caregivers are available to help as needed. From bathing and hygiene assistance to medication management and more, you will have the help that you need while still maintaining your independence.
Mental and Emotional Wellness
In addition to the isolation and loneliness that are common among seniors, environmental stressors and other issues can take a toll on seniors’ mental and emotional well-being. In addition to alleviating loneliness and environmental challenges, your assisted living center will provide a secure and safe place for you to live. Healthy meals and snacks will be provided regularly, and you may find yourself becoming more active. These all contribute to improved mental and emotional health.
Adaptive Care and Services
A senior’s need for support or assistance with daily activities, transportation, hygiene and more will change over time. There may be long stretches of time when a senior’s capabilities and health are unchanged, but some changes happen very quickly. In an assisted living center, services and care can be adapted to meet the senior’s needs at the time. Because of this, the resident’s needs are always met promptly. At Splendor Oaks Senior Living, our caregivers are focused on providing friendly, attentive support to our residents in a home-like environment. You may also be pleased to discover that assisted living is a more affordable solution than many other options. If you are uncertain about whether assisted living is the right option for you, we invite you to connect with us soon to learn more about our centers and to make arrangements for a tour.
