Senior Living
Senior living encompasses so much more than people of a similar age sharing a dining room. Deciding how you want to live will help you decide where you want to live.
Part of this, of course, depends on what your health needs dictate. Some people are comfortable in an independent living community, in which they simply live in an apartment or house within a community of seniors. Others needed assisted living, in which they have some help with daily activities but maintain as much independence as possible.

Yet another option is a continuing care community, which allows a transition from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing care as your needs change. In some of these “life care” communities, you pay not only rent but a fee to the community, so that as you move to higher levels of care there will be no or little more expense.
Physical, mental, social, and spiritual aspects
The same things that are important where you live now are important as you consider senior living. Your physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs still must be attended.
Physical needs certainly include all the creature comforts, such as a roof over your head and a clean environment. In addition to healthy meals, you’ll want to pay attention to your changing medical and nutritional needs. Having meals planned for you makes it easier to maintain a healthy diet that will help stave off many diseases and keep up your immune system.
Mental stimulation is important as well. This can be as simple as card, chess, and trivia tournaments. Even the daily interactions with your neighbors will keep you sharper, so social environment aids your brain.
Social and spiritual can come together, too. If worship is important to you, then look for a community that offers services and small study groups. Choose wisely and you can have all the nourishment you need, body and soul.
