Assisted Living Communities are Designed to Meet the Needs of Aging Adults

Many older adults are pleasantly surprised to discover that moving to an assisted living community is not the worst thing to happen to them.  In fact, statistics show that for many seniors it is a healthier, more agreeable alternative to living alone.  The reason some seniors are initially reluctant to make the move is that they are unaware of the significant changes that have occurred in senior living over the years especially in terms of care options and amenities.  

Today’s communities like MorningStar at West San Jose offer assisted living that is geared toward meeting aging adult’s physical, emotional, spiritual and wellness needs.  Also, for many seniors, a better choice for those who require help in their daily lives than receiving in-home care services.  This is because these communities offer 24/7 care and provide the security of knowing help is not far away in the event of an emergency.   

For seniors living alone, assisted living provides the opportunity for socializing whether it is with planned activities or in common areas designed to encourage relaxed interactions.  Even if you are someone who values your privacy, community living offers the benefit of private suites with the comfort of having others around.   

Another reason you may want to consider is that communities such as MorningStar are designed for the mobility and safety of seniors who may not be as sturdy on their feet as they once were.   To modify your own home to accommodate physical limitations can be quite expensive.  

At MorningStar at West San Jose, we also provide scheduled transportation and planned outings to a variety of places such as shopping, restaurants or cultural events.  Furthermore, for many older adults cooking and preparing meals is difficult and we solve that problem by providing tasty, nutritional meals.  Please contact us to set up a tour to determine if assisted living may be the right decision for you or your loved one.
