How a Senior Living Community Offers Peace of Mind

Are you considering your senior living options? It is important to understand the choices available and the advantages each one offers. For instance, there are numerous benefits of moving to a Life Plan Community. It offers supportive services, the opportunity to meet people with similar interests and the ability to retain a maintenance-free yet active lifestyle.

Most importantly, a Life Plan Community offers peace of mind. You can feel safe knowing your needs are met and supportive services are available around the clock. This is a benefit you may not find with every retirement living option. 

Keep reading to learn more about how a Senior Living Community can provide you and your family with peace of mind.

Stability

There is no doubt that one of the most important things to you is stability. This is especially true as you move into your senior years. It is normal to want to feel safe, secure and comfortable where you live. 

This factor is equally important to caregivers. Friends and family members want to make sure you have all the necessary resources and services available when they can't be there to help. They also want to make sure you stay healthy and happy.

Senior Living Communities can offer all of this and more. These communities provide secure accommodation. Additionally, team members are on hand just in case you need them. Whether you need help putting your socks on or transportation to a doctor's appointment, team members are available to lend a hand.

Best of all, Senior Living Communities offer on-site healthcare services and different levels of support that adapt to your changing needs. You can receive on-site restorative services, recover from medical treatment or transition to a higher level of support right within the same community. The comfort of familiar surroundings and friends nearby bolsters recovery and wellness goals.

Continuing Care

There are several senior living options available. Only a Life Plan Community offers a continuum of care.  You receive the greatest benefit when you transition into a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) when you are independent.  Later, you can transfer to a higher level of support within the same community if you require more supportive services.

Hermitage Richmond offers both Independent Living and Assisted Living. If your needs increase, Hermitage Richmond offers a specialized, secure Memory Care household, McGuire Park, specifically designed for those living with all stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We also offer Nursing at the Grove Health Center.

Once you move to Hermitage Richmond, you can have peace of mind knowing that your needs will always be met. You do not have to worry about transitioning to another community if your support needs increase. 

Security

Senior living communities also provide added security. Knowing that you or a loved one is safe and secure and that help is readily available provides unmatched peace of mind.

Socialization

Moving into a senior living community also gives you the opportunity to meet people with similar interests. The stress of home maintenance and chores is gone, and residents can embrace social connections and an active, self-directed lifestyle that melds with their vision of retirement.

With a calendar full of opportunities, regular outings around town and on-site amenities, you can fill your day however you choose at Hermitage Richmond. You can start making friends almost immediately or retreat to your apartment for some rest and relaxation in between activities and events.
