When it comes to moving into assisted living, it’s normal for seniors to worry about leaving their old life and home behind. It’s a big decision to make, and one that shouldn’t be made lightly. But when older adults see the perks of senior living communities, especially ones that provide hotel-like amenities and fun activities, they often wonder why it took them so long to make the move! Here’s some insight from the United Methodist Communities team on how much they have to look forward to when moving into our senior living community in Sussex County.
It’s not like the old days!
Senior living has come a long way in the
last couple of decades. Most people can’t believe how different it is from what
they’d imagined. Far from a cold and impersonal facility, Bristol Glen is
designed with one thing in mind – to give seniors a full, abundant, and
independent life. Here’s what our residents love about living here.
- Beautiful grounds – We’re set in 74 acres of rustic landscape where
gardening teams maintain the formal garden areas, there are plenty of
pathways to explore, and seniors can relax to the sights and sounds of the
countryside. Our grounds are a wonderful space for a peaceful walk,
reading a book, or joining in on outdoor activities and social events.
- Spacious apartments – For the majority of our residents, we offer
spacious, apartment-style living. There are no shared rooms unless it is
required and there are both 1 and 2-bed apartments for spouses and
singles. Every apartment is designed to be open, sunny, and inviting, with
their own kitchen space should you want to cook for yourself.
- Aging in place – We bring services to our residents rather
than moving people based on their care needs, which means everyone gets to
stay in their own home as long as possible. This creates a wonderful sense
of stability and security, where no one needs to worry about leaving their
home for nursing home because our community provides varying levels of
care under one roof.
- Independent living – We believe in living life to the fullest and
helping seniors to do that too. Our services are scalable, ensuring you
don’t have to use any service you don’t want, and our team is focused on
respecting our resident’s preferences and routines.
- Easy access to care – At the same time, every care service is right
there if you need it. If you have to go into the hospital for an operation,
our team will be there when you get home to help you heal and recover. If
you or your spouse has a fall, you fall ill, or you have concerns about
dementia or other health conditions, we’re there to provide immediate
medical help. If you need a doctor or specialist, we’ll organize your
appointment and get you there on time.
- Lively social events – Moving to a senior living community should feel
like a new, exciting chapter in your life. A chance to meet new people,
make friends and indulge in your hobbies. Our social calendar means that
life never gets dull – and you’re welcome to participate as much or as
little as you like. From book and games clubs to dancing, fitness classes,
educational talks, and seasonal events, we work hard to make our community
a fun, lively, and enriching space to be.
