How Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh Helps Seniors Age Gracefully
With the median age in Naples sitting at 67 years, Older Americans Month is a worthy ideal for anyone in our city to celebrate. At Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh, we want to show our appreciation for seniors by explaining how we help our residents age gracefully and how we can help you too.
Listed below are the ways we celebrate older adults every single day. Keep reading to learn what we do, how we do it, and why our community could make a huge difference in your Naples retirement!
Maintaining Senior Independence
Our staff knows that the only real way to go about celebrating older adults is to respect them and their independence. Trying to apply too much caution to a senior's care plan will only cause resentment and frustration.
Instead, we make sure to provide support without getting in the way.
Each resident gets an individual care plan that suits their needs and desires. Our team remains flexible so that we can adjust the plan whenever necessary. Our goal is always to support - not take over.
Hosting a Variety of Activities and Events
The Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh's activity calendar is never empty. We make sure to fill it with plenty of engaging activities, events, and outings for residents to enjoy.
Through these activities, seniors have the chance to discover new hobbies, learn new skills, or relax and enjoy themselves. Our calendar changes in detail from month to month, but often includes:
- Cooking demos
- Karaoke
- Bingo
- Group walks
- Movie-watching
- Gardening
- Miniature golf
- Crafts
- Parties
- Seminars
- Dancing
- Aerobics
We try to offer a variety of things to do - including both mental and physical activities - so that seniors can try new things but also partake in activities they already adore.
Encouraging Socialization
Aging well in Naples means taking advantage of the beautiful area we live in and engaging in all of the interesting local shops, restaurants, and festivities.
Our community is always looking to connect with the Naples area and all it has to offer. By going on frequent community outings such as shopping sprees and dining adventures, we help seniors keep their ties to the city going strong.
This helps our residents feel like an integral part of a greater whole. It also presents easy socialization opportunities to prevent mental detriments, such as loneliness and feelings of isolation.
We also encourage seniors to create friendships within our community during our vast number of events and activities held on-site.
Assisting With Weekly Chores
Trying to keep up with chores can be a hassle for people of all ages, but they tend to get more out of hand as we age. As energy levels dwindle or chronic pain increases, staying on top of our chores list doesn't matter as much.
These reasons are why our community offers housekeeping and maintenance services. We aim to make sure residents have cleaned apartments and clothes without using up their valuable time and energy.
Some of our residents prefer the physical activity of doing housekeeping chores on their own. However, whenever there's a change of opinion, our staff is ready to step in and help take over for the week.
Offering Concierge Services
Do you dislike the struggle of sending or receiving packages? Do you want to make a reservation at your favorite Naples restaurant but hate the process?
Our concierge services can make these kinds of situations much easier for you.
We don't want anyone to feel like they need to miss out on something because they struggle with the process of setting an experience in motion. This is why we offer every resident the chance to let us take on those responsibilities for them.
You'll get to enjoy the result without the risk of feeling overwhelmed or annoyed beforehand.
As a new member of the community, we can also help with your move onto the grounds, as well as:
- Disconnecting previous residence services
- Choosing and rearranging your new apartment's furniture layout
- Scheduling and organization of the overall move
Cooking With Restaurant-Style Quality
Achieving healthy aging is a tricky goal if you don't put some focus on nutrition. Deciding on a meal plan isn't a fun activity, but it is important to have some type of plan if you want to meet your nutritional requirements.
Our community members get to enjoy our chef team's restaurant-style cooking that's already pre-planned and full of delicious nutrition. There's even a menu for you to pick and choose between different meals so you never need to worry about getting bored or being forced to eat something you dislike.
Plus, with each meal catered to have a healthy impact, you can enjoy your tableside service with joy every time you sit down in the dining area.
Honoring Veterans
To honor veterans and their sacrifices, Aston Gardens At Pelican Marsh offers a Military Veterans Program for eligible newcomers to our community. We also work with Patriot Angels to help veterans find, apply for, and receive the benefits they deserve.
Bonding Between Staff and Resident
When making the transition to a senior community, a common fear is that the staff won't make the residents feel at home. That there might be a disconnect between staff and residents.
Our team puts in a lot of work to prevent this feeling.
Each staff member is passionate and wants to build a bond with all of the residents. It's never one-size-fits-all here. As soon as you step on the grounds, it won't be long before you see smiles, hear laughter, and find warm enjoyment everywhere.
