The Facts about Assisted Living Communities

For many elderly adults, the thought of moving from their home is overwhelming.  However, the truth is that today there are many excellent options for seniors specifically designed to enable them to keep their independence while still receiving the help they need. 

The goal of assisted living communities is to give aging adults the opportunity to maintain their independence while providing convenient access to assistance, activities and companionship.  All too often, seniors mistakenly think that moving into a community setting means they have to give up their privacy.  Again, this could not be further from the truth as communities like MorningStar of Fountain Hills offer a choice of spacious private suites for assisted living in a variety of floor plans. 

Another issue older adults worry about when moving into senior living is that they will be leaving their families.  The fact is assisted living communities offer their own sense of comfort with 24/7 security and care.  So if you need help in the middle of the night, someone is there to respond quickly. 

Seniors also cite the fact that they think moving to an assisted living community will mean they have to give up the things they liked doing around their home such as gardening and having a backyard to enjoy the outdoors.  The truth is that living in a community probably means you will be busier than when you lived alone.  Senior communities are designed with an array of activities such as gardening and book clubs, fitness rooms, outdoor patios and strolling paths, game rooms, theaters and much more.
