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 East Cobb.
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 Patty Victor, who shared this message, “My mother is happy, comfortable, and feels safe at Arbor Terrace. Everyone in the building knows her name and speaks to her EVERY TIME they see her (she loves this!). Personal compliments abound! Staff is proactive in contacting her family with their concerns and responds promptly and professionally to our concerns. They think about and plan ahead ways to enhance my mother’s daily living and overall health and welfare. Her 4 children have commented among ourselves and to other people what a blessing arbor terrace has been to our family and our mother.”
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.
Jane Hall shared these kind words regarding her mother’s stay, “Every day my mom tells me how much she loves her home at Arbor Terrace East Cobb. She feels safe, the staff are kind and attentive, and she enjoys the new friends she has made since moving there. It has been a great move for her.”
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.
Speaking of transportation, Ken Portwood applauded Eden Terrace with this review, “My mother has been at Arbor Terrace for several years now. We are overall very pleased. They have always been responsive to our concerns. They keep me aware of any changes in her mood or condition. They always have her ready to go when she has outside doctor appointments. The nurse in her heart doctor's office just commented on how thorough they were in supplying written reports. I feel like she is in a good place and I would recommend them.”
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 Ann Austin, “My Mom has lived at Arbor Terrace East Cobb for the past 5 years. She has progressed from assisted living to memory care in these 5 years. The staff is very caring, kind and attentive to her needs. They provide a lot of fun and engaging activities that are tailored to the residents' ability.”
There are many benefits to living in a senior living community. That’s why so many seniors are making the move!
