Some may argue that moving into a senior living community relinquishes independence, but the opposite is true! Senior living communities like UMC at Pitman value each resident’s independence and have amenities and services in place to help preserve that independence for as long as possible. At the right independent lifestyle community, you can finally let go of chores and other responsibilities and make more time for the things you truly love to do. If this sounds good to you, it may be time to consider the move! Here are some more signs that you’re ready for this type of senior lifestyle.
Daily activities become increasingly challenging to
manage on your own. Things we once took for granted, like planning
meals, getting dressed for the day, and managing medications, can become more
difficult as we age. It can be hard to come to terms with, but there is no
shame in needing a little extra assistance each day. Plus, having that support
will give you more time to devote to what you truly enjoy. United Methodist
Communities at Pitman understands this struggle and provides the necessary help
with activities of daily living (ADLs) to ensure that seniors have more time
for activities that bring them fulfillment.
Managing a household can be overwhelming, especially
when tasks start to pile up. If you find it challenging to keep up with
housekeeping chores, such as vacuuming, dusting, or doing laundry,
independent-style living may be the right choice for you. The responsibilities
of home ownership, such as maintenance and repairs, can become increasingly
demanding and expensive. Transitioning to a senior
living community means you no longer have to worry about these tasks.
Trained staff members take care of maintenance and repairs, allowing you to
enjoy a worry-free lifestyle with more time, energy, and money for pursuing
your passions.
You find yourself feeling lonely or isolated. First,
we’d like to tell you that you’re not alone. Social isolation is a common issue
that seniors face, especially when living alone with mobility issues and are
lacking transportation options. While it can be tough to leave what you know,
independent-style living offers a social community where your friends live
right next door. UMC at Pitman offers a wide range of social activities,
events, and outings that provide opportunities to connect with like-minded
individuals. By participating in these activities, you can build new
friendships, share experiences, and enjoy a more fulfilling social life.
You’re starting to worry about your health and safety. If
you have concerns about your well-being and feel that you would benefit from
more direct access to healthcare services, independent-style living can provide
the peace of mind you need. Senior communities like ours provide professional
healthcare services and have trained caregivers available to assist with
medication management and other care needs throughout the day. On top of this,
we have enhanced safety measures in place like Amazon Echo devices
preprogrammed to contact staff, grab bars throughout the building, and security
personnel on-site at all times. This support ensures that you can maintain your
independence without sacrificing safety and security.
