Is Independent Living a Good Fit For Me?

Posted on: August 5, 2024
Categories: Independent Living, Senior Life & Tips

Choosing a new home is one of the most important choices you will make as a senior. Traditions recognizes the significance of this big decision. Our caring staff is here for you during this time. Our community is prepared to answer all questions you may have about this next chapter of life.

Live Independently, But Never Alone

If you’re considering Independent Living in a senior living community start by considering is independent living a good fit for me?

Questions To Ask Yourself

Are you currently able to confidently maintain all of your daily activities independently? Consider not only basic meal prep, getting the mail, and taking a walk but also seasonal conditions. Can you stay safe and cool in the summer? Can you clear your driveway in the winter?

Here are some other questions to consider as you begin this journey:

  • Am I able to move throughout my environment without assistance?
  • Can I manage arranging appointments and transportation to get places I need to go?
  • Am I able to obtain my medications independently or with family support?
  • Am I able to manage my daily needs independently or with family support?
  • Am I able to manage housekeeping and meal prep independently?

Preserving your sense of independence is not just important; it's deeply personal. In a Traditions community, we believe in helping you maintain your independence with unwavering grace and the dignity you deserve. Here, you're not merely living; you're thriving while enjoying the comforts of “resort” style living all year long.

Imagine a life where you can enjoy maintenance-free living in your own private residence enhanced by the warmth and security of an established close-knit community. Stay close to friends and family and make new ones through a host of exciting and entertaining social, recreational, spiritual, and educational activities.

Safety is paramount, and each residence boasts a mobile emergency response system, providing you with peace of mind. And should the need arise for additional assistance in the future, rest assured that we offer a continuum of care services right on our welcoming campus. You’ll love the personalized care you’ll receive in a Traditions Community!

“I felt I should make the change. I was getting older, my husband and I were getting older, and we had a big home. And so, I thought I should make that change. And I saw this building being built and liked what I saw! On opening day, I came, and I fell in love with it. From the management all the way down, everything is absolutely great.” -Dot H.

Each residence is equipped with a mobile emergency response system, and if you should require assisted living services over time, additional care and services are available right on campus.
