ReplyDeleteFor seniors who feel insecure at home and desire social interactions, an Independent Living Community is the right place. They can also get help with household tasks if required and can live a relaxed life by maintaining privacy.
ReplyDeleteThe social reaction point was a big selling point for my family. My grandmother was very opposed to moving into a nursing home, as she thought it would restrict her interactions with others. However, after looking up some good independent living facilities, she seemed almost excited to move in. Now she's loving it! http://www.wedgewoodseniorliving.com
