The Impact of Social Interaction on Senior Living Residents
Did you know that staying socially active can help seniors maintain both good physical and emotional health?
In fact, being socially active can be just as effective as exercise for improving your mood and overall quality of life. According to the National Institute on Aging, everyone needs social connections to survive and thrive, but growing older puts people at risk of experiencing social isolation and loneliness as their opportunities for connecting are reduced. This can lead to increased risk of hearing, vision, and memory loss.
Senior living communities like Anthology Senior Living are designed to foster connections and promote interaction with others. A beautiful blend of function and comfort, Anthology Senior Living communities are structured for residents to socially engage with each other through varied options. Intentional approaches to nurture friendships are included through programming, activities, and events. Communities incorporate welcoming spaces for casual gathering and feature coffee shops, fitness centers, lounges, game rooms, and dining rooms.
Respite care is a way to test the waters for families to see how you or a loved one like Anthology Senior Living in case long-term care is needed in the future. Whether it’s for two weeks or a month, respite stays are a valuable option. The program allows caregivers time to take a break for errands or go out of town for a couple of weeks. Knowing that care is available for a loved one brings peace of mind for you and can uplift the spirits of a senior with a change of pace.
