There’s no question moving is tough. And making the move from your home to an assisted living community can be a stressful experience for family members and seniors alike. But community-based living offers a multitude of benefits that celebrate independence and can even improve your quality of life. Here are just a few:

Socializing with peers

Almost 10 million Americans older than age 65 live alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Living alone can lead to loneliness and depression, which can harm a person’s overall health at any age. Community-based living helps seniors stay active with people who share your interests, and those who surround themselves with others and participate in group activities are at a lower risk for illness. In fact, studies find that social interactions affect everything our body does to repair itself – from how quickly wounds heal to how well we sleep.

Eating nutritiously, without lifting a finger

Eating well may seem like a given, but many times we forget how important it can be. Assisted living communities offer the perk of nutritious, restaurant-quality meals in relaxing dining areas or in the privacy of your own apartment. Many communities have a certified nutritionist on staff that can help customize meals to meet health and dietary needs, as well. Need another bonus? You don’t even have to lift a finger for delicious meals!

Stimulating mind and body

The benefits of exercise can’t be over-emphasized – steady light exercise can improve overall health and happiness. Many communities offer group fitness sessions that provide just the right amount of activity for assisted living residents who are free to move at their own pace. Beyond physical fitness, mental stimulation is just as important for longevity and preventing memory loss or even dementia. Communities that facilitate fun games and activities that challenge the mind offer a valuable benefit to their residents.

Getting out and about

Getting a change of environment is one of the best things anyone to stay happy, and the benefit of outings for seniors is even more important when mobility is a challenge. Taking day trips, shopping, and walking offer the keys to health and happiness and can be even more enjoyable with a group.
