Benefits of Moving to Argo Senior Living
Moving to assisted living can feel intimidating, overwhelming, and just plain hard. It can mean going through decades of household items, saying goodbye to a family home, and the end of a chapter.
Take a closer look at what assisted living is, when it’s time to make the move, choosing assisted living, and how moving to Argo Senior Living can improve health and overall wellness.
WHAT IS ASSISTED LIVING?
Today’s assisted living communities are constantly evolving to better serve an active generation of seniors.
Many assisted living communities offer seniors a carefree way of living with housekeeping services, linen and laundry services, fitness classes, dynamic activity calendars, and so much more.
More than just senior living, today’s senior housing options often offer a true community where seniors receive the care services that empower them to live independently, living better than ever in retirement.
WHEN IS IT TIME FOR ASSISTED LIVING?
Americans are living longer and healthier lives than ever, and many seniors want to live at their homes for as long as possible. However, there are certain signs that may indicate when it is time to move.
1. FEELINGS OF ISOLATION OR LONELINESS
More than just occasional loneliness, isolation and chronic loneliness can lead to severe health issues for many seniors. A lack of community can cause depression linked to chronic health issues such as dementia and heart disease, lead to unhealthy behaviors like smoking or abusing prescription medication, and even an increased risk of mortality.
2. A DECLINE IN HEALTH AND INCREASE IN FRAILTY
With age, chronic conditions require more care and the potential for a chronic health crises only increases. It’s better for a senior to be in a care community prepared to prevent (and handle, if necessary) a crisis.
3. FINANCIAL management
Seniors often find they can not keep up with piling bills, online payments, and more with age. Noticing unpaid bills, an increase in collectors, and a growing pile of debt may indicate it is time to make the move to assisted living.
4. POOR HYGIENE
Cleanliness is crucial to overall health and wellness. Infrequent bathing and laundry, messy hair, dirty nails, and bad body odor all may indicate it’s time to seek assisted living.
