When is Assisted Living the Best Decision for You?

Deciding to come to an assisted living community can understandably bring about a lot of changes. Seniors who have lived independently their entire lives, and in many cases, who have lived numerous decades in a single home, can find it difficult to open up to the idea of moving to a new location.

The best course of action for families facing this decision is to take stock of a senior’s abilities while also weighing the benefits, and future benefits, of entering an assisted living community. Let’s take a look at some common issues seniors face as they age and how a welcoming senior living community, like ours, can make a positive impact.

• Living Arrangements: Oftentimes, seniors who have lived in the same home for decades become accustomed to their location, even if it’s no longer ideal for their circumstances. Additionally, with larger homes, seniors can become overwhelmed with upkeep. By coming to an assisted living community, however, residents don’t need to worry about these dangers and inconveniences.
• Safety: Our assisted living community offers a safe environment complete with secure inner and outer entrances. These aspects, together with onsite medical assistance in the event of health emergencies, mean seniors can rest easy.
• Meals: As we age, meal preparation can become more of a chore, leaving many seniors preparing meals that are less than nutritious and not adequate for their health and dietary needs. Also, dining alone can bring its own problems relating to emotional and psychological wellbeing. In Legacy Village’s assisted living community, though, experienced chefs prepare meals in a friendly communal atmosphere, meaning those concerns will be a thing of the past.
• Socialization: Even though many seniors are attached to their homes, in many cases the neighborhoods they once loved changed significantly or old friends and neighbors have since moved. This can be very isolating for seniors, just as it would be for anyone. This is why coming to an assisted living community is so important. Seniors quickly form new friendships that can become very precious and fulfilling, and these relationships can improve one’s mood, health and personal outlook as well.
• Medicaid Waiver: Legacy Village is certified to provide services under the Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program, and accepts residents eligible from this program after a period of private pay.

So, as you can see, there are numerous reasons why assisted living in Xenia is greatly beneficial to seniors. Though residents may experience a perfectly normal period of adjustment, in the end, they’re sure to love all that a senior living community can provide.
