Senior Care Resources & News

Making the transition to assisted living can be challenging for seniors. It is common for older adults to feel sad about leaving their family homes and belongings behind, even if an illness or health issue prompted the move. 

When maintaining your home or living alone starts to become overwhelming in retirement, it may be time to explore different senior living options. Maybe you’re interested in having extra personal assistance in your day-to-day life. Or perhaps you are looking to increase your social circle while minimizing home maintenance and yard work. Whatever you are seeking, there is a lot of peace of mind that comes from residing in a secure, amenity-rich community designed for seniors.

The senior living umbrella encompasses a variety of care levels and lifestyle choices. While communities may offer similar amenities and conveniences for each lifestyle option, the overall services and care differ.

Finding an assisted living community with a good activity program is a must when you’re seeking a new home for your loved one. Activities are a major social and emotional outlet for assisted living residents and contribute significantly to their physical and mental well-being.

Deciding to move into a senior living community can be challenging and confusing. Finding the best level of care for your situation can be downright overwhelming. Many caretakers find themselves asking the question, “should my loved one join an assisted living community or a nursing home?”

Many families and caregivers are unaware of what respite care services are and the benefits they offer. With informal caregiving growing rapidly, respite care services are something many can utilize to avoid caregiver burnout.

A lot of seniors are opting toward home care when it comes to their retirement plan. While home care may feel comfortable and seem like a better choice when compared to an assisted living community, it may not be best for your loved one. At Senior Solutions, we believe that having all the information in front of you will help you make the right decision for you or your loved one. We offer assisted living and memory care throughout Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee. 

The right assisted living community provides your loved one with a wonderful, enriching lifestyle in a safe and secure environment. Such communities provide help, as needed, with the activities of daily living (ADLs) and offer a wide range of stimulating social and recreational activities. However, the responsibility of ensuring that assisted living costs will be manageable is a task that might seem daunting.

Making the decision to join an assisted living community is rarely easy. Most people highly value their independence and therefore may delay the transition to living in a community as long as possible. Additionally, many of us may fear the whole concept of moving our parents into such a community.
