Life enrichment is an integral part of selecting the perfect Georgia assisted living community. Many of our residents come to us when their homes have become too much for them to take care of, they need more assistance with daily tasks like cleaning, getting to doctor appointments, and meal preparation just to name a few reasons. Seniors often hesitate because they believe that they will be limited in their activities in assisted living. Nothing could be further from the truth. Both on site and off site, residents enjoy many activities every day and find senior life enriched in Georgia assisted living communities.
- Socially
One of the biggest challenges for seniors as their mobility decreases is staying social. If they are living in their own homes, often the only social interaction they have is at the pharmacy, grocery and doctors’ appointments. When they are a part of a Georgia assisted living community, their social schedule is as busy or as calm as they want. With social activities like after dinner coffee, needlework, lunch out and bingo, seniors can spend their days and evenings in good company. And they will no longer eat alone, unless they choose to. - Physically
Mobility can be lost without regular exercise that is beyond normal daily activities. A life enriched assisted living community includes options for exercise like Fitnessize, Chairasize, and much more. Our focus is on keeping our residents moving and healthy. - Nutritionally
When living alone or just the two of them, seniors will often just microwave a dinner, leftovers or eat something even simpler. As a part of an assisted living community, they will enjoy a variety of healthy meals, served on a schedule to ensure that they get the proper nutrition to stay well. - Emotionally
When seniors are living at home alone they can often suffer from depression or other emotional issues – without anyone knowing. If they are a part of an assisted living community, they will have plenty of activity and support to alleviate or address these concerns. - Mentally
Dementia and Alzheimer’s poses concerns for the safety of seniors. A life enriched assisted living community affords family members the peace of mind that their loved ones are safe, taking their medication, eating and socializing. - Spiritually
One of the most mourned activities that a decrease in mobility affects is worship. For the spiritually minded senior, joining others to share scripture, hymns and sermons is a treasured part of their week. A focus on a life enriched will address this need.
A Georgia assisted living community that ensures that everyday life is enriched for its residents will provide for all their needs from social to physical to spiritual and everything in between. Would you like more information? Contact Senior Solutions.
