We are often asked, “When is the right time to move your elderly loved one into senior living?” Quite frankly, there isn’t just one answer. There are many reasons a loved one may find need of senior care and many levels of care available to accommodate everyone’s personal needs. From independence, to assisted living, and skilled nursing, there is always a place where your loved one can find care and comfort.
As we age, new daily routine challenges start to form. The AARP reported that more than 70 million people over 50 have at least one chronic medical condition. Although one might be in good health, there is no shame in needing a little more help and attention as you get older. The team at Evergreen Senior Living in Normal are here to ensure a secure home for our residents.
Seniors might want to spend more time doing what they love and less time doing chores. Evergreen Senior Living’s team makes it easy for our residents to participate in many different activities ranging from arts and crafts to exercising, which is why we can take care of the chores for them! We also understand that some residents want to contribute to chores because it makes them happy. Therefore, we’ve created contribution opportunities. This area focuses on allowing the residents to choose to extend a hand in purposeful projects they are familiar with, including setting the dining room table, vacuuming, raking, gardening, and folding the laundry.
Some seniors would love to have more social opportunities, which is also a great time to meet some new friends! Isolation can negatively impact one’s health, which is a big concern for seniors. If you or a loved one think you would enjoy spending time with people who have the same interest as you or your senior, you might love being a part of Evergreen Senior Living’s community! We take our residents to dinner theaters, sporting events, concerts, and even scenic drives!
There are many different reasons one might be considering senior living for a loved one. No matter the reason, here at Evergreen Senior Living in Normal, we have you covered.
