After moving your elderly loved one into the assisted living community, that doesn’t mean you will never see them again. You can visit as often as you would like, so long as you do so within the policy of the assisted care community in question.
Often, this simply means that you either call ahead to make sure your loved one will actually be there, and that they’re not on a scheduled outing, and that you come during reasonable visiting hours. Your aging loved ones need a sense of stability, not to be woken up at 11PM for a last-minute visit, after all. You can stop by and see your elderly loved one whenever you would like, and you should definitely take advantage of that, including stopping in during the holidays and any special days in your elderly loved one’s life (anniversaries, birthdays, days of similar importance).
Socialization
That doesn’t mean that you are the only socialization that your aging loved one is going to enjoy. Great assisted living facilities ensure that they get out of their rooms and get together with other members of the community. It’s somewhat like moving into a new apartment complex or dorm room in college. You start out knowing few people if any, but the more time that you spend together with your new neighbors, the more you interact, the quicker you make new friends. It will be just the same for your aging loved one.
At the Manor at Marston Lake, there are plenty of opportunities for your loved one to socialize. Depending on their particular health situation, they can partake in exercise activities together, as well as walks around the grounds. There are also trips taken outside of the grounds, including trips to see live music, trips to parks, and even shopping trips where your aging loved one will be able to not only socialize with other people in their assisted living community but with people in the Littleton, Colorado area as well.
The Manor at Marston Lake is open to your needs as the family of a client, as well as showing dedication to making sure your elderly family member will be able to surround themselves with friends. At the Manor at Marston Lake, we’re not just an assisted living facility, but a community of people who are going through their twilight years together. Socialization is an important part of building that community.
