(443) 745-6115One of the most difficult decisions you have to make in your life is when you have to decide between living alone and assisted living. Both have their positives and their negatives, and no matter what you decide you should take a lot of time and think long and hard about it. We wanted to take some time today to go over both options.
Living Alone
If you do decide to live in your own home, you need to know what comes along with that. Any kind of fall or accident could be dangerous, as there’s no one there to help you. You should definitely carry around a phone or an alert system like Life Alert just in case of an emergency.
One positive is that you do get to stay in your home. You likely have a lot of great memories in your home, and it’s never easy to leave. If you do decide to stay at home you’ll want to have family, friends, and neighbors coming by periodically to check in, both making sure you’re safe, and also just to keep you company.
The Benefit of a Community
When you choose to live in a Maryland assisted living home, you’re choosing to live in a community. Whereas you will likely be alone in your home, at a Maryland assisted living facility you are always surrounded by friendly faces, both from the staff and from your fellow residents.
We’ve seen countless new friendships started at our facilities and it’s really something special. You can have fun at our facilities with all of the events we put on, things like bingo, shuffle-boarding, and group trips. By choosing a Maryland assisted living facility you can start a whole new life, filled with all new friends.
Reduce Your Stress and Get Some Help
As we get older many daily activities and tasks can become far too difficult to complete on our own. Having someone else to help you out can make your life much easier. If you’re living at home this could be a family member that decides to stay with you or could be a visiting caregiver. These are both options, but might not be the best ones, as your family or caregiver may lack the expertise or medical knowledge necessary.
By choosing to live in a Maryland assisted living home, you’re ensuring you receive the best care possible. The stress of your daily tasks are in the past, let our senior care specialists help you out.
