Are you trying to figure out if independent living is right for you? Maybe you’re deciding if assisted living is actually better for you? Some seniors fully embrace independent living as they are more capable of doing most things themselves, however some seniors may need some assistance with their daily routine or ensuring they have someone keeping an extra eye on them. We will break down the two levels of care for you so you can decide what suits you and your needs best here in Nanaimo.
Independent Living in Nanaimo
Independent living for seniors is for those looking for a retirement lifestyle with added services such as housekeeping and meal prep, such as those found at Lakeside Gardens in Nanaimo. This type of community is for seniors who want to let go of regular home maintenance such as yard work, home maintenance and other responsibilities that come with home ownership. Independent living is great for those looking for engaging social interactions, and emergency support, should you require it.
Assisted Living in Nanaimo
Assisted living is slightly different in that it provides everything independent living communities offer, with added personal care services such as bathing and dressing. Seniors in assisted living still live comfortably in the privacy of their own apartment within their senior communities in Nanaimo; however, they may just need additional assistance when it comes to performing daily routines. One of the benefits of living at Lakeside Gardens in Nanaimo is that additional routine care can be arranged for you in our community, should you require it now or in the future.
Since the individual needs of each resident differs from others, we highly encourage you to give us a call at 250.756.0799 or email llamontagne@lakeside-gardens.com to ensure we can support you in the way you need.
