This week we celebrate Valentine’s Day and this is a great opportunity to explain how at Argo Senior Living we are able to assist couples with different needs. Whether researching for your aging parents or for you and your spouse we understand that moving to a senior living is always a major life change. When a couple can move together, this decision and the transition itself become a little easier.
Love is in the air at Argo Senior Living
At Argo Senior Living we are able to accommodate and assist senior couples who wish to live together, even if each spouse has different care needs.
Couples can choose from various apartment layouts, including studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and even suites. . Couples can choose the apartment size, features, and levels of care that are right for them. Each of our suites features a full private bathroom with hand-held showers and full wheelchair accessibility, comfortable living and sleeping areas with adequate closet space, and a mini kitchen equipped with a refrigerator for snacks.
To ensure both spouses receive the care they require in their new home, their individual needs and abilities must be evaluated. Learn how we work with the couples:
Can Couples Live Together in Assisted Living?
Typically, more single individuals live in assisted living communities than couples. But an assisted living community can be the perfect solution to make each person in the marriage happy, healthy, and safe—especially when one spouse may no longer be able to continue to care appropriately for the other.
What If Spouses have Different Care Needs?
Each resident will have their own comprehensive care plan to meet each individual’s needs. They can live in the same apartment and maintain their lives together, but each will get the assistance specifically for them. In addition, they can participate in activities together or on their own.
Couples Benefit from Assisted Living
Couples who have been married for many years and have been through ups and downs may feel guilty when they can no longer care for a frail spouse. They may think that they have somehow failed. But the truth is that caregiving is hard. If the caregiving-spouse is elderly, this can be a real strain on them as they deal not only with the physical demands but also juggling the emotions and fears of their loved one’s health or memory decline. In addition, the spouse who needs more assistance may not have the ability to be there emotionally for a worried spouse. The best solution may be an assisted living community. Each will be able to relax; get the assistance they need and thrive in a supportive setting.
