How Senior Living Communities can Impact a Senior’s Lifespan

It’s no doubt that over exposure to stress has been linked to poor health, wellness, and overall dissatisfaction in life. As we age, stress can add an extra toll onto our bodies and minds. According to the Mather’s Institute, in recent years it has been found that assisted living communities contribute to a senior’s happiness and well-being which has been found to boost life expectancy. Assisted living facilities give senior’s the ability to live in stress free environments while also granting them independence and exploration.

Simply said, it’s time to move to Assisted Living when the transition will ease the stress of either the senior’s life or the family caregiver’s life. Assisted Living is the best choice if your parent or loved one needs more personal care than they can get in the home or in an Independent Living community. These individuals do not yet need 24-hour medical care and supervision but may struggle with caring for household chores or personal errands.
