Senior Living Options: What Sets Ours Apart
As of 2022, nearly 22% of Florida's 22 million population was over the age of 65.
With so many seniors in the state, the need for quality senior living communities is obvious. Transitioning elderly parents or other loved ones into senior care is a big, and often difficult decision. One of the things that makes it easier is knowing that the senior community itself is welcoming and well-equipped.
Not all assisted living facilities are created equal. Some are far better than others, offering more amenities, more experienced staff, and better programming. The Watermark at Trinity is one of those senior communities.
In today's post, we're going to tell you some of the things that set our senior living apart from the rest. Keep reading and give your older parents and loved ones the highest quality of life possible as they transition to assisted living.
More Living Choices
There are many different types of assisted living facilities across the country. Each option fulfills unique senior needs, from social activity to Alzheimer's and dementia care. What sets our community apart is that we offer a wide range of senior living services under one roof.
At The Watermark, we offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care depending on your loved one's needs. You may be wondering what each of these services provides...
Independent Living
Independent living is best suited for seniors who remain healthy and active but need to downsize their lives. It allows residents to interact more socially with their peers and creates programming to encourage physical and mental health.
The facility will handle things like housekeeping and grounds maintenance. All your loved one will need to think about is what programs to take part in and whether to swim or go for a walk around the manicured gardens.
Assisted Living
Assisted living offers customized care for the wide variety of needs seniors have. If your loved one needs help completing daily tasks, whether it's getting dressed and bathing or preparing meals and taking medications, the facility's staff is there to help.
Aside from the extra assistance, residents have the same access to the various amenities as independent living residents. Special programming is in place to account for assisted living residents' physical restrictions.
Memory Care
Memory care is a unique form of assisted living for those suffering from cognitive decline. If your loved one is suffering from worsening symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia, memory care is the answer.
Our staff are highly trained in a Certified Dementia Practitioner program, allowing them to handle the unique challenges that dementia care presents. They focus on what residents can do rather than what they can't. Everything your loved one needs is provided, so they can focus on living the best life.
An Emphasis on Lifestyle
Our senior living community puts a special emphasis on lifestyle. Too many facilities give their residents a place to live. We create programs to enhance seniors' lives beyond what they experience at home.
We offer a wide range of amenities, including a spa, salon, pool, and fitness center. We even allow pets, which are proven to contribute to healthy aging.
Residents also have access to several programs and events scheduled throughout the year. For example, our Watermark University brings together people with similar interests to sit in on talks from local experts, classes, and workshops.
Your loved one won't be restricted to the facility, either. We make regular outings to local attractions, whether it's an overnight camping trip or a hot balloon ride. Every effort is made to give our residents unique experiences they may not have thought they'd have again.
Promoting Mental and Physical Health
Seniors must look after their mental and physical health. We encourage our residents to partake in activities that promote mental wellness. This might involve meditation sessions, painting classes, or book clubs.
When it comes to physical health, seniors should get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to maintain heart health and stave off injuries and illnesses. Our community offers a wide range of fitness classes geared towards increasing residents' range of motion and building muscle strength.
Better Dining
Another important part of senior health is nutrition. A balanced, nutritious diet can have a massive effect on senior health, helping to ward off heart disease, osteoporosis, type-2 diabetes, and even some cancers.
Our Gourmet Bites Cuisine offers an alluring menu that mixes comfort food with upscale creations. Residents will be able to come by for restaurant-style dining or bite-sized hors d'oeuvres. We offer a flexible spending plan that allows you to allot funds for food, as well as outings and amenities.
Constant Innovation
At Watermark, we believe that senior living doesn't need to be stagnant. When your loved one enters our facility, they'll get a facility that is willing to innovate. New technology constantly arrives and we always do our best to implement it wherever possible.
For instance, our LifeLoop platform allows residents to communicate with staff and each other to stay connected and engaged in what's going on. BrainCafé helps residents sharpen their cognitive abilities and enhance memory. Finally, Accushield is an automated safety screening and visitor management kiosk that keeps the facility safe and secure.
These are just a few of the innovations we've implemented thus far. There will be far more to improve residents' quality of life in the future.
Affordability and Variety
Our website makes it easy to peruse different accommodation options. We offer a wide range of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments. All of them are equipped with modern appliances and furnishings.
Whether your loved one is living alone or cohabitating with a spouse, friend, or relative, there are accommodations available. The Watermark is equipped to handle any resident's needs.
