It can be a hard decision for you to choose between living at home and receiving care there, or moving to an independent/assisted living facility. It’s important to examine the benefits of either. Let’s explore the benefits of moving to an independent/assisted living facility. Peace of Mind
First and foremost, living in an independent/assisted living facility allows you to live your life without worrying about the daily tasks that may have become tedious or difficult. Cooking, cleaning and taking care of the home is no longer necessary in an independent/assisted living facility, leaving you without the worry of having to complete those chores or get help from family to do so.
Independent/Assisted Living Gives Choices

Because the care one needs is always close by, there are no limitations on what seniors can or cannot do from going to exercise classes or to any of the other 150 activities that Parkwood Heights has on their monthly calendar that you might enjoy.
Relieving Stress On Family or Caretakers
While family and friends want to do all that they can to help when a loved one in their lives begin to struggle with health issues or daily responsibilities, it can be easier on everyone if living in an independent/assisted living environment is a decision that is made.
