Assisted Living Makes Many Seniors Feel More Independent

Studies show that for many older adults in need of a little daily assistance, life is easier in assisted living.  The reason so many of them say they prefer assisted living to living on their own, is it actuals helps them to feel more – not less – independent.  In fact, senior living communities such as MorningStar of Beaverton are designed to provide seniors a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community.   

When you live in your own home, you have the constant worry of upkeep and unexpected repairs, or you may be a person who no longer feels comfortable driving and have given it up altogether.  This makes running errands, grocery shopping and getting to doctors’ appointments difficult.  Moving into assisted living means you no longer have to spend time worrying about maintaining a home, and communities such as MorningStar offer scheduled transportation. 

Meal prep is another thing that is often difficult for the elderly, and as a result, many older adults who live alone do not eat as well as they should.  Also when you no longer have a job and do not drive, living on your own can be lonely.  At assisted living communities, you have your own private nest but people around whenever you feel in need of company.  MorningStar of Beaverton’s monthly calendar offers a full range of wellness programs and entertaining activities to keep you as busy as you like. 

Senior living communities also offer the benefit of making seniors feel safer without the worry of home intrusions.  At MorningStar, you will have peace of mind knowing that around-the-clock help is just a push of a button away.  Additionally, all suites are equipped with full handicap-accessible bathrooms.
