It can sometimes take a while for individuals to realize that an elderly relative is perhaps struggling with some of their daily tasks. Their pride and a fierce desire to maintain independence often leads to them refusing to ask for help, or indeed acknowledging that they need some extra support. It is important for them to know that if they move into a facility for assisted living Naples FL, they are not giving up their independence.

Changing their perception of what moving into an assisted living complex would mean to them can be difficult. They may have heard all types of horror stories about retirement homes, which only helps to fuel their reluctance. Persuading them that the new complexes provide a very different service and the standard of support are excellent but non-intrusive, so their independence remains intact. Their life remains entirely private behind their own front door.

It is simply a case of moving house. Individuals can take all their prized possession with them to their new home. Individuals can look forward to having their own garden to potter around in, or a garage to use as a workshop and store a car. The only real difference is in the level of security and on-site support that is available to residents. There should be no more doorstep salesmen calling and especially no con men.

When someone loses a life-time partner, it can leave them feeling vulnerable and lonely. They may not have a lot of friends or relatives nearby, or they may just find it difficult to socialize on their own. Survivors will find that there are many other in the same position if they move to a complex. Those who have gone through similar experiences can empathize and respect each other feelings which is a good basis for new friendships to grow.

People who choose to move to an assisted living retirement community are generally around the same age. They will have experienced many of the same things during their life-times, making it easier for them to connect. They come from a generation which understands and gives respect where it is due. They will find it easier to form new friendships.

Residents enlist members for a social committee that takes into account the different hobbies and interests of all the parties. They will agree and plan an events calender that is published and invites all the residents to participate. However, it is up to the individual whether or not they do take part.

The on-site staff has a supportive but non-intrusive role. They are available to help residents with any physical tasks they may need, such as moving a piece of furniture, or replacing light bulbs. They can go shopping for residents or accompany them, if they are unable to do it themselves.

When support staff are free at the assisted living Naples FL complex, they are happy to sit and chat with residents, who may just want a bit of company. They will gently encourage residents to join in with activities and outings. The residents are assured of a five star service always being on hand when they want it.
