As the weather slowly starts to get cooler, the idea of moving into an independent or assisted living community at Nanaimo in the Fall, seems to be more and more attractive. As you grow older, you want to try and make your life as easy as possible by trying to make the most of your time while limiting the amount of chores and maintenance you have to constantly upkeep when you live at home. 

Here are 4 reasons seniors are choosing independent or assisted living at Nanaimo in the Fall: 

Safety first

After the rough last few years we’ve had during the pandemic and the increase in safety concerns, it’s important to feel comfortable living in your home. Upon entering this Nanaimo independent or assisted living community, you will see many safety measures and precautions put in place so our senior residents feel safe. Upholding cleanliness and staying consistent with sanitary procedures provide our residents with a peace of mind so they don’t have to worry about increasing their chances of getting sick.

Healthy meals

When living at Lakeside Gardens, worries about what you will be eating for your next meal are almost nonexistent as you no longer have to cook all your meals. You can sit back and focus on other aspects of retirement living while our culinary team creates some of the most delicious food you’ve ever had. Not only do they taste good, but are also freshly prepared daily and packed with a lot of nutritious value so you can remain healthy. If you have a recommendation, you can also feel free to share it with the chef or culinary team as they will try their best to accommodate your request.

Ongoing social activities

You may begin to notice that other people are not as sociable as they used to be back in the summertime, which is majorly because of the change in season and the fact that life tends to get busier once it’s Fall. This will all be one less thing to worry about as there are always planned recreation activities and games you can participate in with other residents here at this independent or assisted living community in Nanaimo. You won’t have to worry about finding others to join you either, as they are all scheduled at specific times to make it more convenient for our seniors.

Support at every corner

It’s also important to keep in mind that you will always have support, should you ever need anything. Whether it is a one time request or a scheduled wellness checks that you feel you need, Lakeside Gardens is here for you. Our staff and security is available 24/7 to help you feel supported during your time of need. Your suite will also feature many safety features, with 24 hour emergency response available.
