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 Knoxville.
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. One family member shared this heartwarming message, “Arbor Terrace has great care and is committed to the health, safety, and comfort of my loved one. I appreciate that staff can talk to me about the daily activities and needs of my loved ones, specifically. The friendliness of the staff helped to make my visits pleasant and make my father feel special.”
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 Leonard Brabson’s are reassuring to families. He shared this message, “We have been very pleased with our family member's experience at Arbor Terrace. From the day they moved in, they have felt at home and safe, which is very reassuring to us. Arbor Terrace did a fantastic job of caring for our family member during the pandemic and went above and beyond when we were unable to come visit. We would recommend Arbor Terrace very highly.”
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. Positive reviews like this one make us smile. Mark Collins shared online, “The staff and management at Arbor Terrace Knoxville treat their residents with high levels of both care and competence. You will not find a more loving, nurturing, and safe environment for your family member. My wife has been a resident for 4 years.”
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.
Max Baber shared this sweet review, “The staff at Arbor Terrace are exceptionally committed to providing the best possible care for their elderly residents, routinely maintaining a clean/healthy environment and providing highly engaging enrichment experiences for their active seniors. I have visited Arbor Terrace numerous times over the past several years, and commend the entire Arbor Terrace team for maintaining consistently high standards throughout this time.”
There are many benefits to living in a senior living community. That’s why so many seniors are making the move!
