Amenities Count: Comfort and Convenience in Today’s Senior Living Communities
Retirement should be a time in life when comfort, convenience, and fun are at the top of the agenda, but living at home can make these goals difficult or even impossible. In senior living, however, the amenities provided are what make it easy to thrive and enjoy a relaxed and carefree lifestyle all day, every day. Take a look at how modern senior living amenities in Evolve Senior Living’s communities can elevate an ordinary retirement to an extraordinary one.
Senior Living Amenities: Comfort and Convenience
Amazing home choices
Luxury senior living amenities start with exceptional housing choices. At Evolve Senior Living we offer well-appointed apartments, designed to serve the needs and desires of residents right from day one. Every home is equipped with modern appliances, as well as special safety features like bathrooms with walk-in showers, grab bars, and heat lamps. Every space is designed with accessibility in mind. Whether the choice is independent living, assisted living, or memory care, home will quickly become a haven that’s safe, comfortable, and secure.
Plenty of things to do
Living at home can be isolating and, quite honestly, just plain boring. That’s where senior living amenities really shine brightly. Every day there’s a full calendar of fun things to do like exercise classes, group outings, games, arts and crafts, speakers, and entertainers. While one resident looks forward to their daily workout, another will want to continue working on an art project, while others join in on a card or board game with friends. For residents in memory care the senior living amenities are similar, although provided in a more structured and secure environment.
Many senior living communities also support residents who want to step up and find their passion through volunteering, starting a new hobby, or gaining knowledge through life-long learning. For seniors who want more out of retirement, the sky’s the limit.
Companionship
It’s a fact that loneliness can make us sick, and seniors are especially vulnerable. Loss of mobility and other isolating factors often conspire to strip seniors of their friends, companions, and independence. In the end, many suffer devastating health effects, which according to the CDC, may include:
- 50% increased risk of dementia
- 29% increased risk of heart disease
- 32% increased risk of stroke
- A greater risk of premature death
That makes companionship one of the top senior living amenities and a lifesaver for many seniors. Living in a close and caring community raises daily life to a new level where seniors can easily make new friends, join interest groups, and never have to worry about being alone and lonely again.
Outstanding cuisine
One of the biggest complaints about senior living in the past was the food. But top senior living communities, like those managed by Evolve Senior Living, have raised the bar on cuisine because they know that even the most nutritious meal is only effective if it’s eaten. Today seniors can expect chef-inspired meals that are crafted from fresh ingredients and both appetizing and delicious.
Service with a smile
Tired of worrying about home maintenance, repair, and upkeep? All of those and more are also among the senior living amenities to be expected. Although these services vary among senior living communities it pays to know which are part of the package before choosing which community is the best fit. Just knowing that your home will be cleaned regularly, laundry and linen services are available, and on-site maintenance and repair are included brings not only freedom but peace of mind as well.
