Combat Loneliness: Become Part of a Senior Community
If you’ve given thought to the benefits of an assisted living or memory care home, there may be a significant impact that you haven’t previously considered.
Research suggests that loneliness and social isolation may play a big factor in the health and longevity of older adults. In fact, in a study published by the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, it is cited as a common source of distress, suffering, and impaired quality of life in older persons.
This is such an important issue, and not just a psychological one, but also a medical one.
If your loved one is currently living alone but considering a move to an assisted living community, you can now see how the benefit goes beyond the availability of basic personal care and support services. We know (and now you know) there’s a greater strength and comfort in numbers, and Mayberry Gardens offers life enriching activities and a sense of community designed to combat loneliness.
It starts with our family-style living, arranged to accommodate between 11 to 15 residents. This allows for privacy, but it also allows for sociability.
- For intellectual stimulation, we offer guest speakers and lecturers, resident round tables, poetry recitals, and visits with local authors.
- If your loved one enjoys board games, puzzles, bingo, cards, or dominoes, they’ll find that and more on each month’s activity calendar.
- Arts and culture are embraced with movie nights, guest performances by various musical groups, and visits from trained animals and entertainers.
- Our residents also stay fit and healthy with morning exercise, a walking club, strength training and devotionals to the mind, body, and soul.
Mayberry Gardens truly understands that a quality of life also means an active social life and a focus on wellness. Contact us to learn more about our wonderful assisted living options available today.
