Assisted living is an option for older adults who aren’t only seeking safety and security, but also a life-enriching experience. It’s an opportunity for individuals to enhance the quality of their lives through social, educational, and experiential opportunities. It’s been proven that loneliness can reduce an older adult’s life expectancy; in fact, people who are active and socializing with others tend to be healthier and happier. Health issues, such as high blood pressure and other conditions, can be minimized in an environment where staff is providing assistance and support and residents are engaging in activities. There are numerous opportunities to remain active at an assisted living facility, and residents can choose how little or how much they want to participate.
