What Can You Expect in Assisted Living?  

It’s human nature to think about the future. Picturing what will happen helps us plan ahead and know we’re prepared for whatever comes.

If you or someone you love are contemplating or planning a move into Assisted Living, you want to know what you can expect on the other side of this transition.

At MorseLife, we’re honored to support and guide families who are navigating the Assisted Living transition process.

Many believe that life at home is the only path to achieving independence and a good quality of life as they age. However, some may feel isolated, especially if physical or cognitive issues impact their ability to drive or get around on foot. Others expend their energy on completing activities of daily living and have little left to focus on the things and people they enjoy.

Assisted Living can offer a positive and proactive solution to these and other lifestyle issues seniors face.

Instead of reducing independence, Assisted Living focuses on enhancing seniors’ autonomy with their daily routines. Assisted Living communities offer personalized support and care so residents can achieve their personal balance between freedom and support.

Assisted Living gives many seniors the extra daily support needed to reclaim their energy, enhance social connections, and rediscover their joy in life.

Assisted Living communities offer the convenience and familiarity of home without the albatross of home maintenance and upkeep.

Most Assisted Living residents report notable improvements in their:

• Physical health
• Social well-being
• Emotional health
• Daily nutrition and hydration

The benefits of Assisted Living aren’t limited to residents. The loved ones of those who transition to Assisted Living also report quality of life improvements.

These include reduced stress and worry and an improved relationship with their loved one.

In short: Assisted Living’s benefits can be enjoyed by your whole family, and lead to a better quality of life for everyone involved.

When you’re considering Assisted Living, it can help to visualize what life will be like on the other side of this transition.

Let’s imagine a day in the life of an Assisted Living resident named Rachel.

Rachel wakes early and greets the day with a cup of coffee and some waffles and fruit, delivered to her apartment by her friendly caregiver, Julie. Julie will return once she’s finished to assist her with getting ready. Julie helps coordinate Rachel’s outfits and knows how she likes her hair to be fixed. Her nurse, Carrie, stops by with her morning medications.

After breakfast, Rachel is ready to start the day. She meets up with friends for a session of chair yoga in the activity room. After class, she joins friends on the outdoor patio before heading to the dining room for lunch.

For the afternoon outing, the community shuttle transports them to a local garden, where they spend the afternoon viewing and learning about beautiful native plants and flowers. When they return, Rachel heads to her apartment to relax before dinner.

Rachel returns to the dining room for the evening meal. She and her friends recap the events of the day over a delicious entree and dessert. After dinner, they congregate in the recreation room for movie night. The Activity Director offers popcorn and freshly baked cookies as they enjoy the film together.

Interested in a life like Rachel’s? Assisted Living can offer you the senior lifestyle of security, care, and independence you’re seeking.
