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 Fulton.
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 like Eric Coleman who shared online, “What sets Arbor Terrace apart from other options we have experienced is the high quality and personal engagement of the caregiving teams, along with excellent management of risks during COVID times. Our mother feels safe and supported in the memory care community created at Arbor Terrace.”

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 modern and updated decor, senior living communities offer many amenities like housekeeping, laundry services, and transportation.
Brianna Esker raved, “This community is amazing. The building is fantastic and the location is great. My mother loves it there. The nurses are helpful and kind, and they treat her like their own mother. The dining services are wonderful, and they go above and beyond for people who have dietary needs/specifications. I would definitely recommend Arbor Terrace Fulton to anyone.”
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.
Senior living communities help seniors maintain and develop new relationships through common interests and a planned activities calendar. We love when we receive comments like this one from Ryan Thompson, “I love Arbor Terrace Fulton! It is a pleasure being here at this luxury facility. The team of staff are amazing, the activities are great for residents and it’s heartwarming to see the elderly have a better quality of life and thriving as they make their home at Arbor Terrace.”
There are many benefits to living in a senior living community. That’s why so many seniors are making the move!
