Seniors are fortunate in this day and age, as there are several housing choices available for them. It is important to consider present and future needs when plans are being made. For instance, individuals may not need daily help, now. In a few years, they may need some help with daily activities. Families need to help senior loved ones prepare for change. A loss in independence can be devastating for many people. One of the best ideas is to match someone’s lifestyle, health and finances to a living situation.
Staying at home is one option for some seniors. There are agencies employing people to help seniors in the home. However, many active seniors prefer Independent Living Communities. These communities have houses and apartments built with the needs of seniors in mind. People who live in independent communities often don’t want the responsibility of maintaining a house. Many communities offer social activities, like restaurant-style dining, parties and group trips. Woodlands Creek Active Retirement Community features suites that range in size from 751 to 1281 square feet. Apartments include:
utilities included in rent
full size kitchen with fridge, freezer, stove and microwave oven
phone, internet and television connections
underground parking
Senior care at Woodlands Creek also includes Assisted Living. Assisted Living is very similar to Independent Living. The main difference is that residents get help with tasks like bathing, cleaning and laundry. Residents at Woodlands Creek have a choice of units that range from 539 to 1104 square feet. Apartments include:
utilities included in rent

Woodlands Creek offers services for those who need Memory Care. Memory Care services are for guests with alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory related disorders. Memory care suites are comfortable, inviting and safe. Staff members are available 24 hours per day. No matter where they live, seniors need help coping with change. It is important to let them know that they are not alone. Most people over 65 will need to make some senior care living arrangements. It is important for family to communicate during the transition. Let loved ones know, that you will still be a part of their lives.
