Top Benefits of Assisted Living for Aging Parents

Helping your parents navigate their decision to move to an Assisted Living community can bring up a range of emotions for everyone involved. It’s common for older adults to want to stay in their home as long as possible, even when challenges arise and they need more help at home. Focusing on the positives of moving — such as maintenance-free living, resort-style amenities, and an active lifestyle — can help them make their move with confidence and look forward to all the possibilities that await in a senior living community. 

If your parents are reluctant to consider Assisted Living because they think it means giving up an independent lifestyle, it’s time to take a closer look at luxury senior living. Joining an active community of older adults can help your parents maintain their independence longer, because they have the extra help they need in their daily routine, plus plenty of opportunities to meet new people and follow their passions every day.

Assisted Living Benefits Your Parents Will Love

How do you find the right Assisted Living community for your loved one? Often, the best place to start is to focus your search on the benefits of Assisted Living that will elevate their lifestyle, such as:

Around-the-Clock Support

Assisted Living provides hands-on assistance as needed with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and safely moving around the residence and community. Caring team members provide assistance with dignity and respect to support each resident’s changing needs. With 24/7 access to care and support, you have peace of mind knowing help is available for your loved one at all times.

Private Residences

The Élite Collection communities offer true elegance and resort-style living for residents in our Assisted Living communities. Discover the freedom of maintenance-free living with all the comforts of home in a personal residence. Residents love the spacious floor plans, beautiful finishes and privacy of our luxury apartment homes.

Person-Centered Care

With a personalized approach to Assisted Living, every aspect of your loved one’s care is customized to their needs. We focus on each person’s unique health needs, preferences and abilities. We get to know each resident on a personal level, which helps us build positive relationships and provide just the right level of support.

Sense of Security

There’s comfort in knowing your loved one is well cared for in a safe and secure environment. Residents have access to care at the push of a button, with team members available 24/7 and licensed nursing staff on-site or on call in case of emergency. Residences are intentionally designed with safety features to promote independence and reduce the likelihood of falls. 

Wellness Opportunities

Keeping up with an exercise routine is easier than ever when there’s a fitness center with regularly scheduled group fitness classes right outside your door. Staying physically active can help older adults feel younger and maintain their independence longer, which is why the wellness benefits of Assisted Living are so valuable.

Social Engagement

The social aspect of being part of a community is one of the most rewarding benefits of Assisted Living. Meeting new people and interacting with friends and neighbors is important for health and well-being as we age. Opportunities to build and maintain friendships are part of everyday life, including social happy hours, game nights, and more.

An Active Lifestyle

Assisted Living residents of The Élite Collection communities enjoy full access to the resort-style amenities and services on campus, such as restaurant-style dining, salon and spa services, wellness programs, lifelong learning classes, and a full calendar of enriching activities. There’s something for everyone, whether it’s a book club, bocce ball tournament, yoga practice, art class, or other activities that spark an interest.

An Upscale Experience in Assisted Living

Change isn’t always easy, but helping your parents see the benefits of Assisted Living can help them make informed decisions about their future. The key to a fulfilling retirement is finding a place where they’ll be comfortable for years to come.
