When thinking about assisted living, thoughts usually center on support or care. There are many misconceptions about what assisted living looks like. But full social calendars, new friends, and less chores, are what our residents in Chesterfield and Sunset Hills value most after transitioning to assisted living.
1. A Shorter “To-Do” List
Minimizing household chores is one of the most immediate forms of relief. Residents often mention how much energy was drained by keeping up with landscaping, leaky faucets, or dishes. In assisted living, those have-to-dos are replaced with want-to-dos. Whether it’s spending an afternoon in the art studio or catching up with a friend, there’s more time in the day to enjoy what matters most to residents.
2. Simplified Social Connection
Isolation is one of the biggest challenges of aging in a traditional home. Neighbors in assisted living can be found getting morning coffee, teaming up for trivia, or playing cards. Residents love the welcoming feel of our campuses. With assisted living, there’s an ease of finding a social circle, right outside your door.
3. Restaurant-Style Dining
Food is always a highlight of the day. At Friendship Village residents can choose from unique dining venues and menu options. The best part? No grocery shopping, no prep, and no dishes to wash.
4. A Renewed Sense of Independence
Having a little support actually helps residents be more independent. By having a helping hand with the small things like medication management or daily tasks, our residents have the confidence and energy to pursue more of the things they love.
5. A Secure Future to Enjoy the Present
Our residents love the ability to live in the present because they have a plan for the future. With a full continuum of care all on one campus there is familiar, higher levels of support are available if residents need it someday.
