As your parent has aged, you’ve become more responsible for helping with their daily decisions and obligations. But recently, things have changed.
Maybe they’re having trouble with paying bills on time, forgetting their medications, maintaining personal hygiene, or rapidly losing weight. You might even have noticed empty cupboards or rotten food in the fridge.
Difficulty keeping up with the activities of daily living (or ADLs) is a clear sign that it might be time to explore Assisted Living options for your parent’s continuing care and support. Touring a community is a great way to learn more about the amenities offered by Assisted Living, ask questions of the staff and get an idea of what daily life looks like for residents of the community.
Read to learn more about what amenities to look for when touring an Assisted Living community like Quartet Senior Living, and why they matter when you’re making a senior living decision.
All About Assisted Living Amenities
Senior living amenities offer community residents a way to stay active and engaged, which significantly improves quality of life. There are countless data points on the benefits of staying active and engaged in your senior years. Fortunately, Quartet Senior Living has taken this to heart, and provides a full calendar of life-enrichment activities to support social, spiritual, educational and recreational well-being.
Here at Quartet, our residents enjoy amenities that promote health and wellness, creativity, socialization and opportunities to connect with their neighbors. This results in a longer, happier and healthier life for our residents.
- Our fitness room is one of our most popular amenities, where we have one-on-one physical therapy for residents as well as classes and gym equipment. Many times working on strength is an important task for our assisted living residents, as we are here to make that as easy as possible.
- A variety of beautiful outdoor spaces make our community unique and relaxing. We have an outdoor dining patio and covered porch, as well as a courtyard with a firepit. Additionally, there is a putting green in our assisted living courtyard for easy access to this fun hobby. Plus, there are beautifully manicured walking paths for year round enjoyment.
- Our art studio provides endless ways to be creative, and our living rooms and lounge are welcoming social spaces for creating warm conversations and meeting new friends. Our village area showcases a pool table, puzzle table and shuffleboard. Plus it’s the location for our Friday happy hour! There are so many ways to be engaged and social each day.
- The dining room features an open kitchen, and alongside our life enrichment team, they are always planning a fun and seasonal event for residents to enjoy. In the past, we’ve celebrated Dr. Suess Day, Easter egg hunts, and friends and family dinners where we invite guests from outside the community.
- We adventure outside the community, too, with organized outings to local attractions or for shopping excursions.
