The decision to move into a senior living community is not always an easy one to make. Sometimes the decision has to be made on behalf of your loved one for their own safety. However, what may begin with hesitation can end up being one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
It is understandable why your loved one may resist leaving the home they knew to live in an environment that is unfamiliar. However, we know that there are many pros to living in a senior living community, from safety to a sense of community to new friendships.
Through reviews from our residents and their loved ones, learn more about life at Arbor Terrace South Forsyth.
Safety
Sometimes it is no longer safe for your loved one to live alone at home. Maybe the upkeep is too much or the home isn’t “aging-ready.” Maybe you’ve noticed signs of decline like missed medications and scorched pans. When this happens, a move into a senior living community is important for their safety and well-being.
Knowing your loved one is safe and cared for is a tremendous relief for many family members. Whitney R. shared this heartwarming message, “Arbor Terrace South Forsyth has proven to be hands down the BEST decision we've made to ensure our mom is not only safe but engaged and properly looked after.”
Feels Like Home
Senior living communities help build a sense of community. Our trained staff keeps residents engaged and maintains deep connections through shared interests and stories. Our community is modern and updated with cozy corners for reading, gardens, and dining rooms where residents eat together.
When considering a move to senior living, reviews like Jon Forberg’s are reassuring to families. He shared, “This is the best home for my parents, that they chose! Arbor Terrace gave them their lives back! Interaction, activities, and friends! I highly recommend this home! It’s not a community, it’s a home!”
Amenities
When thinking of a senior living community, some may remember visiting their grandparents in a nursing home. From pools and game rooms to libraries and cocktail lounges, this is not your great-grandma’s senior living.
The way we look at senior living has evolved and seniors are staying active now more than ever. In addition to the modern and updated decor, senior living communities offer many amenities like housekeeping, laundry services, and transportation. Having a bit of extra help from the staff comes in handy.
Rob Cannova shared his loved one’s experience, “Arbor Terrace is absolutely beautiful. Spotless. It has the atmosphere of a cruise ship. The staff is amazing. You feel welcome as soon as you walk through the doors and are greeted. The residents are busy and part of a very special community. I was so impressed and emotionally attached when I was given a tour. I would recommend this beautiful place to any one of my loved ones. Take an hour and go visit and look for yourself. This is a five-star resort.”
Activities
Seniors can be affected the most when it comes to isolation, especially while dealing with an ongoing pandemic. Due to increased isolation, seniors are reevaluating their living arrangements.
Greg Amoroso commented, “My mother is a resident at Arbor Terrace and I believe the staff to be thoughtful and professional. My mother is in the Bridges program and I have been very pleased with the level of staff engagement and attention she receives. The scheduling is excellent and residents have a full day of activities.”
