The Best Things About Living in a Senior Living Community

Once you begin learning about senior living communities, it’s easy to see why so many people appreciate the supportive and vibrant lifestyle they offer. They provide everything seniors need to thrive, embracing life at every stage and ability level. Some seniors need a little support during the day to ensure their happiness and independence. Other seniors benefit from more assistance and care but still want to enjoy an active and engaged life. No matter your needs, a senior living community like The Gables on Pelham can offer a lifestyle tailored to you. What are the best things about living in a senior living community? To answer that question, we need to break it down and explore the benefits of each care level: assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

Things to Love About Every Care Level

Assisted Living for Active, Independent Seniors

Did you know that nearly half of the senior population of the United States needs some daily assistance with tasks like dressing and bathing? There’s nothing unusual about a senior needing a helping hand during the day. Seniors who embrace getting the help they need can often maintain their independence longer than those who don’t. If you’re looking for that kind of support, you can find it at the assisted living community at Kinship Pointe:

  • A bright and cheery living space with modern amenities
  • Chef-prepared meals and snacks — no cooking required!
  • Regular assistance with laundry, housework, and other daily chores
  • Assistance with medication management and other health-related needs
  • A bustling calendar full of fun classes and experiences
  • A supportive environment of like-minded peers

Memory Care for Seniors with Age-Related Cognitive Issues

For seniors with conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia, finding a community that understands and supports them is essential. That’s why Kinship Pointe’s memory care community provides the best care possible in a safe and supportive environment you’ll love. All of the following services and amenities are included:

  • Person-centered care that treats every senior as an individual
  • Rent, utilities, and other expenses in a simplified monthly bill
  • 24-hour assistance from nurses and senior care experts
  • A warm and easy-to-navigate environment designed for safety and comfort
  • Specialized memory therapy and activities that help seniors practice and improve cognitive skills
  • An array of enriching social events and fun spaces for seniors at every ability level

Skilled Nursing for Seniors with Health Needs

A skilled nursing community offers compassionate medical care in a cozy, homelike environment. The skilled nursing community at Gables on Pelham offers short-term stays for seniors recovering from surgery or other adverse medical events and long-term stays for seniors who need more dedicated assistance, with plenty of amenities that prioritize residents’ health and happiness:

  • A wide variety of health care and therapeutic services

  • Expertise in common senior health issues such as diabetes and orthopedic care
