7 Benefits of Senior Living
Making the choice to move into a senior living community can be tough, but it has many benefits. Living in a senior living community offers members the following:
Convenience
Most senior living communities offer three meals a day and help with miscellaneous tasks, such as laundry, transportation needs and scheduling doctor appointments.
Community Members
Seniors living in the same community provide socialization and activities to keep brains sharp and active. Most of them will be in, or close to, a similar same stage in life and will most likely have similar experiences to share.
Safety
Valley VNA is a safe place. Not only is the building safe, but residents are safe within the Neenah community. Staff members are available 24/7 to ensure residents get the attention and treatment they need.
Privacy
Every resident or couple gets his or her own room/unit depending on the level of need. Residents can come out of their rooms to socialize, eat or participate in activities. At the end of the day, they will always have their own personal space.
Personalization
Transitioning into a senior living community can be difficult. There is a lot of emotion involved with leaving the family home and moving to a new place, leaving memories behind. But personalizing a room is a great way to make it feel like a new home for your loved one, such as hanging up pictures, arranging furniture, using familiar scents, etc.
Programs
Many senior living communities offer programs to make residents happy, involved and active. Some programs, like Valley VNA’s Lyrics and Laughter, allow residents to have fun with other community members and relive their youth through music.
Staff
Having a friendly staff available at all times makes living in a senior community convenient, safe and fun. Building relationships with passionate caregivers will allow for open communication, which results in the residents’ needs being fulfilled.
