According to SmartAsset, older adults turning 65 have a 70% chance of requiring long-term care during their golden years. For many, this care includes assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, or eating.
If you have an older loved one living in Roswell, GA, who needs extra help with those tasks, it may be time to talk to them about transitioning to senior living.
In this guide to senior living in Roswell, GA, the team at TerraBella Roswell will discuss what you and your loved one can expect from the best retirement community. So please read on, as what you discover here can help you choose a community you can trust to care for and treat your elderly loved one like family.
The Best Retirement Communities for Adults Who Need Help With ADLs
Communities offering memory care or assisted living in Roswell, GA, are the best options for older adults who require help with day-to-day tasks. In the best communities, nursing and support staff are available 24/7.
At TerraBella Roswell, we provide both types of senior living options.
Benefits and Features of Assisted Living
Assisted living communities in Roswell provide personal care services tailored to each resident’s unique needs. At the same time, they enable residents to enjoy privacy in their own well-appointed apartment homes. Plus, many fun, engaging, and senior-centered activities and events happen daily in these communities.
Personalized Care and Support
Whatever daily tasks your older loved one needs help with, whether just one or more ADLs, rest assured they can get the support they need from an assisted living community. Some examples of care services that the caring staff at these communities provide are:
- Bathing or showering
- Personal grooming
- Moving about
- Eating
- Dressing
- Toileting
- Escort and transfer
- Medication management
Private Apartments That Foster Independence
Although assisted living community residents need help with daily activities, they don’t require round-the-clock support. They can still look after themselves and do tasks as they please. For example, they may still wish to prepare meals occasionally or whip up snacks for themselves and their friends.
Being able to do those things allows older adults to retain some independence. For this reason, the best senior living communities provide residents with apartment homes that give them privacy and features that let them do some tasks independently.
For example, TerraBella Roswell senior apartments have kitchenettes. Residents can cook and dine in the privacy of their apartment homes. They can also decorate their private spaces with personal treasures to give them a more “home away from home” vibe.
Social, Recreational, and Physical Activities
Retirement communities in Roswell, GA, help address two common problems of living alone at home: loneliness and social isolation. A study published on JAMA Network mentioned that, in a 2023 poll, 37% of U.S. adults aged 50 to 80 reported experiencing loneliness. Another 34% said they felt socially isolated.
An assisted living community helps combat those problems by providing many social, physical, and recreational opportunities. For example, at TerraBella Roswell, we encourage our residents to join and enjoy:
- Exercise and wellness programs
- Music therapy
- Cooking and baking courses
- Informative and educational guest lectures
- Rousing and brain-stimulating games
- Live musical performances
- Entertainment like TV programs and movies
We also regularly schedule outings and excursions. During these trips, residents can shop around, dine in local restaurants, or do some sightseeing.
Healthy Eating Made More Fun and Social
While the best senior living communities equip residents’ homes with kitchenettes, they also serve daily meals carefully prepared by a talented team of chefs. Not only are the dishes delicious, but they’re also full of nutrients that promote healthy aging. Residents can pick from various menu options and break bread with their fellow residents in a warm, well-lit, restaurant-style dining room.
Not only do we provide all that at TerraBella Roswell, but we also let our residents enjoy tasty but healthy snacks and desserts. Our staff also takes care of the clean-up afterward so our residents can simply enjoy the food while socializing.
Chauffeured Transportation
As a loving family member, you likely worry about your aging loved one’s driving ability. It’s a valid concern; according to Harvard Health Publishing, aging can contribute to a decline in one’s driving skills, and ultimately, it may be unsafe for them to drive.
The good news is that the best senior living communities in Roswell, GA, offer chauffeured transportation to residents. Here at TerraBella Roswell, we provide this as a complimentary service. Our residents just have to tell us they need transportation, and we’ll coordinate and schedule it for them.
Whether your loved one needs to go to their medical appointments, wants to go on a shopping expedition, or wishes to dine out with their friends, our chauffeured transportation services have them covered.
Memory Care for Specialized Support
According to the CDC, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias affect an estimated 5.8 million people in the United States. Most are older adults (5.6 million) aged 65 or older, but others are younger.
If your loved one has AD, another type of dementia, or even mild cognitive impairment (MCI), they could benefit from living in a memory care community.
Memory care communities provide many of the same benefits as assisted living communities. At TerraBella Roswell, our memory care residents also enjoy:
- Personalized care services
- Private and well-appointed apartment homes
- Group activities that encourage connections and socialization
- Physical activity and wellness programs
- Nourishing meals
In addition, we have staff specifically trained to provide advanced dementia care techniques and support to older adults with memory-related issues.
