As the population ages, many vibrant retirement communities have sprung up, in order to provide a secure and enjoyable option for those who need Elderly Care. Residences such as Fountain View Active Retirement Community ensure that their residents’ golden years are an interesting, comfortable phase of life, by offering benefits that include:

  • AMENITIES: Many active, healthy seniors choose to live in retirement communities because they are attracted to the carefree, interesting lifestyle. These residents need minimal or no Elderly Care, and choose apartments designed for independent living. Seniors enjoy bi-weekly housekeeping services, free transportation, and a wide range of planned activities, events, and outings. Many take advantage of the community’s Jacuzzi, or exercise equipment. They make regular visits to the on-site library/computer lab, beauty salon, or barber shop. Communities provide restaurant-style dining in a cheerful setting that encourages friendly chat and socializing.
  • SECURITY: Every apartment in a planned community provides security features that include sprinklers and smoke/fire detectors. In addition, they contain emergency response systems, which bring help from staff 24 hours a day. A registered nurse oversees medications and care. Memory care suites include safety doors.
  • WELLNESS: Depending on their abilities and health, seniors may enjoy a whirlpool bath, walks on the grounds, or exercise classes. All residents are provided free transportation to medical appointments. Those enrolled in assisted living or memory care programs are offered caring assistance with medications, personal needs, bathing, dressing, and more. Trained staff also provide individualized memory care, including custom activities, cuing and reminders, and nurse-coordination of lab tests.
  • COMFORTABLE HOMES: Seniors may choose homes that are tailored to their health, needs, and personal tastes. Options include comfortable, attractive independent living homes that range in size from 686 to 1074 square feet, and offer a variety of floor plans. These apartments include full kitchens, lots of storage space, all utilities, window dressings, and more. Apartment homes suited to assisted living provide kitchenettes with microwaves, instead of ovens. Suites designed for memory care residents do not include a kitchen.

Modern elder care often translates into an interesting, active lifestyle in a planned retirement community. These residences provide caring, trained staff, round the clock security, and wellness facilities, all set in a comfortable, cozy environment. Seniors enjoy attractive accommodations, and a host of amenities.
