Making the move to a retirement living community is a big decision during the best of times. You might be asking yourself if now is the right time for you or your loved one to make the move. The truth is, the need for a supportive lifestyle doesn’t change just because there is a global pandemic; in fact, needs can be exacerbated by what is happening in the world today. Throughout the pandemic, retirement homes have fared better than our long-term care counterparts. Seasons is just as prepared to meet residents’ needs now as we have ever been.
With more people opting to stay at home longer, care needs are increasing. The current strain on the healthcare system means more caregiver support can be hard to come by. Seasons has skilled, qualified, and compassionate staff who are ready to help.
Loved ones are being encouraged to socialize in their household only, which could mean older adults are left alone. Even when our residents are asked to remain in the comfort of their private suites, they aren’t alone; each day, we deliver meals, snacks, wellness checks, and fun things to do!
We know that following stay-at-home orders can lead to boredom. Seasons Fun teams have become experts at planning both safe and engaging activities. Our teams work hard to ensure our residents get opportunities for physical fitness, companionship, and meaningful contributions within the local community.
At Seasons, residents can trust that the company’s Infection Control Committee is analyzing all the newest info and applying protocols to meet or exceed government recommendations. There’s great comfort in knowing you have an entire team of people dedicated to keeping you healthy and safe.
Rather than going to the pharmacy, you can have your medication overseen and/or administered by the Seasons Health and Wellness team and our corporate pharmacy. There’s coordination between your primary care physician and the pharmacy, which makes it easy for medications to be delivered directly to you!
These days, it’s harder for older adults to safely access grocery stores. In a retirement residence, delicious meals and snacks are provided. Staff are also available to assist with online grocery ordering for extra essentials you might need.
It’s typically a change in one’s life that prompts the search for senior home options. When it comes to affordability, it’s key to compare the costs of staying home with added support. For example, paying for home care and meal delivery or senior-friendly renos to your house versus moving to a retirement residence. At Seasons, they’re all included in your monthly rate.
We know there’s a lot of uncertainty right now: What remains consistent is Seasons’ commitment to residents’ health and safety while ensuring they feel like they are surrounded by people who genuinely care. Our Leasing Managers are available to answer any questions you may have!
There is much to consider when it comes to retirement community living, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information, we would encourage you to speak with the Seasons Leasing Manager at your desired location or complete our contact form to arrange a virtual or in-person visit.
