Although aging can leave some individuals in need of a little bit of help, Assisted Living in Avon CT, can help. Assistance with living does not mean an elderly individual has to give up their freedom of living independently. What it means is the individual, and the family can have the peace of mind that any assistance needed is right on the premises. There are always supportive caregivers and other members of the community to spend time. Building friendships and enjoying a happy environment gives all occupants the ability to share and build meaningful relationships with others.
There are special events and activities that can engage all of the residents. There are also three healthy and well-balanced meals each day. Each day includes a coffee hour for visiting and conversing. Assisted Living in Avon CT, is not the same as being in a nursing home. Assisted living can offer:
• Special dietary management.
• Medication management.
• Personal hygiene assistance.
• Rehabilitation and occupational therapy support.
• In-house 24-hour nursing services.
• Memory care.
There are fully furnished units that are private or shared. There are daily housekeeping and laundry services. Beauty shop and barbershop services are available for all of the residents. There are recreational activities and social events 7 days a week. In the common area, a resident can still enjoy a flower and vegetable garden. There are enclosed and covered porches to get outside and get a taste of the fresh air. The facility is a welcoming and warm environment for the residents and their family to feel like home.
Permitting an elderly family member to maintain their independence and still remain in a safe environment is important for them and for the family. A healthy social environment can include exercise and fitness programs that are geared directly towards the age and ability of the resident. There is scheduled transportation available to all of the residents for doctor’s appointments. There is even adult day care available. Improving the life of aging family members begins with the right balance of independence, safety, and involvement.
