Is It Time to Make the Move?

2/15/2016

Making the decision to move your loved one into an assisted living facility is not one that is made lightly. You still remember your loved one from when you were growing up, and all the memories of everything they did for you come running back into your mind. Guilt may also set in. But, with us, we are not a nursing home. We are a second home. A home away from home. A community where you can feel better knowing your loved one is cared for by the best and surrounded by knowledgeable and experienced caregivers who are here to help put quality back into their life.

Stop By and See Us Today!
When thinking about moving your loved one from their home into an assisted living facility, it is actually better for your loved one that the move happens when they are still healthy and, for the most part, independent. This allows your loved one to become better familiar with their new surroundings and their new home. They can go and explore around our facility, meet the people within their small community, etc. Plus, this way, they become accustomed to their new home so that if they ever do fall ill, they will be comfortable and trusting of the facility and their caregivers because they have been able to know them on a more personal level. And vice versa: our caregivers will have been able to learn all about your loved one and will know what they like, dislike, etc., in order to better care for them.
​
And remember, even though they are calling us their new home, it does not mean that you are left in the dark on things. You are still very much involved and play a vital role in the care of your loved one. With us, everyone is a part of a team—a team of people who want to give your loved one back their quality of life and start having fun again no matter what their age!

At The Courtyards Senior Living, we want our home to feel like your loved one's home. Our sense of community and variety of activities will help your loved on to remain active, while also feeling safe and secure. Come visit us today for a tour of our facility!

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

The secret is out! Aging can be fun! Instead of asking people what they fear when growing older, we should be out there in society asking what people are looking forward to when it comes to aging—especially since there are so many benefits of growing older!
With Age, Comes Fun!
No matter how old you are, every birthday is a celebration of another year under your belt and a new year of possibilities beginning. Start enjoying the fact that you are another year older and seeing the glass half-full with all the advantages of being older.
For starters, age brings experience. The older we get, the more we realize what is truly important. We seem to be less focused on material things than we were when we were younger. Instead of having a "new" everything—car, house, clothes, etc.—we are focused more on quality, particularly in terms of our friends and family. We focus on quality time spent with them and on enjoying our hobbies, as well as taking advantage of moments instead of things. This, in turn, helps our lives to be more fulfilled by what really matters.
Also, as we age, we tend not to care as much about what others think, which really helps free up some of our time for enjoying other happier things. When we are younger, we put too much weight on what others think of us instead of what we think of ourselves. As young people, instead of listening to ourselves, our hearts, and our wants and needs, we put more value on what others think of us, our hearts, and what they think our wants and needs should be. Not anymore! Now that we are older, we are doing and focusing on what we want!
Added bonus, because of all of this, the older we get, the less headaches we tend to suffer from! Maybe it is because we are not stressing out on things we should have never stressed about in the first place!
At The Courtyards, we are here to have some fun! Contact us today to see how you can join our party!
