Aston Gardens at Pelican Marsh: Premier Senior Living in Naples, FL

Though 27% of adults over 60 currently live alone, Columbia University studies show that doing so can be a health hazard.

Fragility and cognitive decline make household tasks a challenge for many seniors. Family members can only provide so much help without putting their physical and mental well-being at risk.

Here, we'll discuss why senior living is a great idea for aging Florida adults. Read on to learn why Aston Gardens at Pelican Marsh can help your loved one thrive.

Who Needs a Senior Living Community?

There are a wide range of reasons that seniors need a retirement community. Some include:

• Wanting social support from other community members
• Excitement over activities and events that help strengthen bonds between residents
• A desire to relax without worrying about housekeeping or laundry
• Wanting to live in an accessible apartment that minimizes the risk of injuries
• Interest in great floor plans and well-appointed, homelike apartments

Other seniors need help that compassionate caregivers provide in assisted living. Your loved one likely needs a great senior living community if they struggle with tasks like:

• Bathing and showering
• Moving around the house
• Clothes selection and dressing
• Using the bathroom safely
• Standing up and sitting down
• Communicating their needs
• Managing medication

Additionally, if a doctor suggests that your loved one can no longer live independently, it's time to look for a great Florida retirement community.

Benefits for Caregivers

Many families try to provide this support for loved ones independently.

Unfortunately, doing so can lead to physical health issues from trying to move your loved one without proper equipment. You might also injure them.

Informal caregiving also can put your mental health at risk due to the likelihood of caregiver burnout.

According to the AARP Public Policy Institute, 17% of caregivers feel as though their health has gotten worse as they provide assistance. This toll worsens over time. After five years, 20% of caregivers report poor health.

This leads to resentment and strained personal relationships no matter how much you love your family member.

When you transition your parent or grandparent to a quality retirement community, you can rest assured that they're getting quality care from experts who have more experience and tools than you do.

You can also focus on maintaining a great relationship with your loved one so you can make lasting memories and enjoy your time together.

Senior Living Options to Consider

Senior independent living is made for older adults who require minimal support. Residents can take care of their own hygiene and day-to-day needs. Instead, they can benefit from:

• Gorgeous outdoor landscaping
• Social events to look forward to
• Access to restaurant-style dining and a great wellness center
• Housekeeping services and laundry help for peace of mind
• More opportunities to socialize with friends due to close proximity

Those who require some additional support may benefit from assisted living. This may be the right choice if your loved one is struggling to care for themselves. Assisted living is great for those who:

• Need help with hygiene and daily care
• Struggle to keep track of necessary medications
• Have mobility issues that require wheelchairs or walkers
• Can't easily navigate their home floor plan due to inaccessible spaces
• Experience mild memory issues and some cognitive decline

If cognitive decline becomes more serious, SHINE® Memory Care may provide the support your loved one needs. These communities rely on caregivers who are specifically trained to assist those with dementia and Alzheimer's.

In these communities, seniors benefit from:

• Small-group, purpose-driven activities
• Both intrinsic and external motivation for completing tasks

• Nutrient-rich diets made to improve cognitive functions
• Care plans that center on each senior's strengths rather than weaknesses
