Top Benefits of Moving to a Senior Living Community
Moving to an independent senior living community before you need assisted living or memory care holds many benefits, especially for active seniors.
What is an Independent Senior Living?
Independent senior living works best for active seniors who can manage their day-to-day activities, such as personal care and medication management, but are seeking a sense of community and no longer want to burden themselves with household chores such as cleaning and cooking.
These communities are typically 55+, don’t offer care services such as assisted living and memory care, and instead offer amenities such as housekeeping, linen service, dining plans, and transportation services that are designed to improve quality of life by making things easier and more convenient.
Is Independent Living Right For Your or a Loved One?
Independent living communities are often preferred by seniors for their amenities and socialization. Is living at an independent living community right for you?
- Are you an active, independent senior?
- Can you manage your personal care needs, such as grooming, bathing and dressing?
- Are you able to manage your medications?
- Despite maintaining an active lifestyle, do you wish to reduce the time that you spend maintaining your home?
- Are you looking for an opportunity to join a community but have been feeling increasingly isolated?
- Do you want to connect with peers who share similar interests and passions?
Top Benefits of Moving to a Senior Living Community
Never worry about household chores or home maintenance
One of the key advantages of a senior community is saying goodbye to household chores such as cleaning, cooking, home maintenance, yard work, and more. Although you may opt-out of housekeeping services, many of our residents love the convenience and freedom of not having to do household chores.
Make new friends and socialize
Social isolation can have devastating effects on your physical and mental health. While you’re out and about in your community experiencing activities that you love, you’ll meet other seniors who enjoy the same things. At Weatherly Inn independent Living, we offer a dynamic social calendar, exercise and fitness classes, and many events that enable you to stay active and meet other interesting seniors.
Staying active and mobile
There’s so much to do here you can’t fit it all on your calendar. Fitness classes, special events, and entertainment are all located on-site, along with dinning options featuring chef inspired meals. Throughout the community, you or your loved one can engage in as much or as little activity as they want.
Access to ongoing care
Your health (or the health of a loved one) may change at any time, no matter how healthy you or they are now. By living at an independent living community as your health needs change, you have priority access to quality care at your community. Choosing to move early has been a blessing to many residents who had an unexpected health problem and didn’t have to worry about where to find the care they needed.
Your future is in your control
Take control of your life and your future well-being by choosing to live at the Weatherly Inn community in Medford, Oregon now. Talk to a team member and decide if it’s time to remain independent while enjoying a superior quality of life.
