Seniors at or nearing retirement have important decisions to make about their future healthcare. Because we’re living longer, more of us will need assistance in our later years.
For most seniors, moving to an assisted living community turns out to be the best choice for them, their health, and their family.
Here’s why:
• More opportunities for social engagement.
Living alone with limited mobility is a recipe for disaster. Even a married couple with only one disabled spouse can become isolated too quickly. Feelings of loneliness and isolation can very quickly deteriorate into depression and poor health.
Assisted living communities, by contrast, are hubs of social activity. At Wellington Estates, the entire facility is wheelchair-friendly. We have daily recreation and leisure activities, a warm and welcoming community of seniors, and lots of room to socialize.
• A safer living environment.
Assisted living facilities are set up specifically for seniors. As such, many of the expensive home modifications you would need to add to make your own home safe are givens at Wellington Estates. Shower railings, medical alert systems, barrier-free living quarters, and elevators are just some of the perks you get with assisted living.
• You don’t have to take care of stuff.
Everything at Wellington Estates is done for you. Laundry? Done. Room service? Check. Cooking? Your meal is waiting in the dining room. We even manage your medications and help with diabetes and other care.
At an assisted living community, you no longer have to worry about scheduling the gardener, paying your utilities, or maintaining your home. It’s all done for you, so you have time to enjoy hobbies, travel, entertainment, and family.
• Access to outstanding medical care.
At Wellington Estates, doctor appointments come to you. We also provide transportation when you need to visit the doctor’s office. With round-the-clock nursing staff in the building and in-house podiatry and geriatric care, you’re in good hands. No more worrying about how you’re going to get to your appointments. We take care of it all.
