Witnessing a parent getting older and beginning to struggle with daily life is never easy. Most adult children and other family will want that senior to be safe above all. Sometimes it may seem easier and more comfortable to remain where they are, but making a decision to move to assisted living could actually improve quality of life.

There are plenty of things that can change when a person moves from an apartment or house into assisted living when they reach the age of 65 or are older. Below are three things that could actually change for an aging senior you know.

1. Their attitude.

When a person is living alone and struggles with daily life, it can lead to frustration, anger, resentment, or even depression. They may withdraw from family and friends. They may simply give up on doing various activities throughout the year.

When elderly men and women move into a quality assisted living facility, they often experience a change of attitude. They become more active. They start making new friends and even reconnecting with people they hadn’t seen in a long time.

All in all, many seniors become more positive and enjoy a higher quality of life after moving into assisted living.

2. Their activity level.

Seniors who have more options available to them with regard to activity have a tendency to be more active. This could include playing games, doing arts and crafts, going for walks around the grounds, or even taking part in excursions to local malls, art galleries, museums, parks, and much more.

The more active people are in their Golden Years, the healthier they tend to be and the more often the report feeling happy.

3. Quality of life.

As mentioned, quality of life dramatically improves for many seniors who choose assisted living. No longer having to worry about cooking, cleaning, maintaining their house, upkeep with the yard, and so on, they can focus on the things that matter more to them.

They don’t have to feel worn out physically, mentally, or even emotionally by feeling isolated and alone and struggling every single day with even the most basic tasks of life. They can focus on entertainment, companionship, friendship, and activities that are of most interest to them.

When seniors realize just what could change at assisted living, there is a greater likelihood they will decide to make this move themselves, too.
