As we get older, everyday tasks become more difficult, and it can also be harder to keep up with social activities. In fact, a University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging (NPHA) found that 34% of adults aged 50-80 report feelings of isolation, so it’s good to be proactive about this.
A great way to take care of your elderly loved ones is to utilize senior community services. In an assisted living community, they can have all their needs taken care of while living a semi-independent life.
If you’re interested, then read on to see what senior living amenities are available at Sabine Place Assisted Living.
Spacious Apartments
Having plenty of space is important throughout our lives, but especially in our golden years. This is why we have two floor plans to accommodate varying needs.
The first option is the Baywood studio apartment that comes with one bathroom and totals 308 square feet. The other is the Wildewood apartment, which also has one bathroom and totals 420 square feet.
Both living spaces are pet-friendly, so your loved one can bring their furry friend. This can help their health in so many ways!
They’ll be allowed to decorate the apartment however they like. As a result, your loved one’s living space will have that perfect personal touch that’ll make them feel right at home.
All units come with safety features and modern conveniences, too. We’ll come and clean the residence to keep everything tidy and safe. That way, everyone will have peace of mind.
Should our residents receive packages or have guests, we’ll take care of everything with our convenient concierge services.
Professional Care Services
One of the best assisted living benefits is round-the-clock care. Our staff is available for our residents 24/7, plus we provide personalized treatment plans to ensure that they’re taken care of in the best ways possible.
Services that we can give your loved one include:
- Personal care support
- Grooming
- Bathing assistance
- Medication management
- Clothing selection
- Dressing
If they’d like assistance with the social functions offered at our community (more on this later), then our trained staff members can accompany them too.
Once the residents have been sufficiently helped, we’ll then leave them to their daily lives to maintain their privacy and freedom.
Lots of Entertainment
When looking at top senior living features, entertainment is a must. As we’ve said earlier, the elderly can have issues with loneliness, which makes social events of the utmost importance.
Here at Sabine Place Assisted Living, we have a packed activity calendar that exceeds expectations. Every day, you’ll find something to do, whether it’s something tranquil like coffee and TV church or something exciting like bingo and noodle ball.
For something more spontaneous, our residents can hang out in the craft and games room, which is full of activities that can be done alone or in groups. We also have a library full of books where your loved one can spend hours getting lost in fantasy worlds.
There are lots of opportunities for a change of scenery as well. We often take our residents out on excursions to explore local gems, and we’re frequent patrons of nearby restaurants too.
Gorgeous Outdoor Spaces
Being outdoors and being active had positive health effects on seniors. We understand that it’s important to get our residents outside, which is why we’ve worked hard to beautify our grounds.
There are well-maintained walking paths that are easy to traverse, which encourages residents to take walks throughout the day. The serene space will allow your loved one to get a fresh breath of air while improving both their physical and mental health. And if they’ve brought their canine friend, then they can also enjoy peaceful walks together.
They don’t have to be outdoors alone either. Not only do we have numerous activities scheduled, but we also host delicious barbecues. Our residents can gather around, eating tasty food while socializing to their hearts’ content under the pretty night sky.
Plenty of Physical Activity
As we get older, it’s essential to keep up with physical activity so we keep our bodies strong and prevent future injuries. However, exercising on your own can be difficult, and you may lack motivation. For this reason, when you’re weighing assisted living options, look for communities that offer exercise classes and other fun ways to get physical activity in.
For example, our community has the following on our calendar:
- Chair exercises
- Dance parties
- Soccer games
- Courtyard walks
- Bean bag tosses
- Chair Zumba
- Cup pong
- Bowling
As you can see, there’s something for every mobility level which ensures that no one’s ever left out.
Delicious and Healthy Meals
Senior nutrition is vital to a happy and long life. But cooking can be a laborious task, and your loved one deserves to spend their golden years being pampered.
Here at Sabine Place Assisted Living, they won’t have to worry about cooking unless they want to. As part of our elderly amenities, we have experienced chefs on staff who prepare nutritious yet delicious meals from scratch. Our menus are varied and diverse so our residents are always looking forward to what’s next.
And if your loved one has unique dietary requirements, that’s not a problem. Our chefs can still whip up irresistible meals that fit their needs.
Look for These Senior Living Amenities
The right combination of senior living amenities can be what sets a community miles apart from others. We know this, which is why we’ve gone above and beyond to create a space where your loved one will feel like they’re truly at home.
In our community, residents thrive in every way possible, and they make lasting connections with both the other residents and our caring staff members. Because of this, you can have full confidence that your loved one is in the right hands.
If this sounds like the right community for your loved one, then contact us today to schedule a tour. The lovely staff at Sabine Place Assisted Living can discuss our various affordable floor plans and answer any questions you may have.
