For many, the thought of being placed, or of placing a loved one, in an elderly care facility can be heartbreaking. But don't let preconceived notions of senior care get in the way, as there are many benefits to choosing the route of independent living. Visiting Angels of Toms River, NJ, is America's premier non-medical senior home care provider, and they've seen the difference an independent living facility can have on senior citizens' well-being and comfort. 

For seniors who are still independent and active, there are many benefits of independent living, including: 

  • Fewer Worries Overall: People of all ages are constantly plagued with worries, from bills to general maintenance needs. Independent living facilities take care of pretty much everything, often including television, phone, internet, heat, and other utilities in the monthly rent. Consolidating bills will take a huge load off the minds of seniors, allowing them to enjoy themselves more easily. 
  • Socialization: Community bonding is one of the biggest benefits to independent senior living facilities. Socialization is a big part of most programs, and many facilities are happy to offer activities for everyone. Seniors will be able to enjoy amenities like fitness centers, spas, and wellness programs. 
  • independent livingAssistance When Needed: While independent living facilities don't always offer care, there's always someone nearby to assist in the event of an emergency. These are also fantastic locations for in-home care visits, offering the perfect combination of independence and peace of mind.

The compassionate caregivers at Visiting Angels will adjust their schedules to keep your loved one comfortable at home, and that extends to their life at an independent living facility.
