5 Reasons Why Adult Day Care May Be Better than Assisted Living for Your Loved One

Assisted living facilities provide seniors with home-like independence. For people who can no longer safely live alone or can’t maintain a home, assisted living offers a secure alternative. But for seniors who still want to pursue their interests and socialize with other people, adult day care is often the better option.

Here are 5 Reasons why adult day care may be better than assisted living for your loved one:

1. Senior Adult Day Care Keeps Seniors Happy

Adult day care doesn’t leave seniors to find their own entertainment. There are always fun and engaging activities for them to do. They can spend time with friends doing activities they already enjoy or trying something new. Many activities also focus on cognitive stimulation to help those seniors with progressive memory loss. Keeping seniors engaged and providing them with a purpose and sense of community helps make them happy.

2. Consistent Adult Day Programs Keep Seniors Invested and Active

Losing energy is a normal result of aging, but when that lowered level of energy progresses into listlessness, it means reduced quality of life. Some seniors begin to withdraw from society and spend most of the day by themselves. Loneliness has a strong link to depression in older adults.

At Town Square, our members are encouraged to share memories and stories to other people their age. Town Square’s seniors benefit from sharing and reminiscing with our compassionate staff members and peers. Our themed areas, or storefronts, all hold their own categories of fun, engaging activities – there’s always something new and always good reason to come back.

3. Day Care for Seniors Is a Great Way To Keep Seniors Independent

Independence is important for seniors to maintain a high quality of life. For many, this means staying in their own homes. Assisted living facilities provide a “home-like setting,” but still require seniors to move out of the real home they’ve known for years.

Adult day care is much different. It provides a safe and enjoyable environment during the day when family members aren’t available to provide needed care. Many seniors enjoy the feeling of being in a community of their peers, independent of their family members. At the end of the day, they’re able to return to their homes feeling fulfilled and comfortable.

4. Town Square Enables a Social Community of Seniors

While all seniors have some things in common, they differ significantly in their interests, abilities, and personalities. Town Square takes all these differences into consideration when designing activities.

Town Square also provides free time for members to enjoy time talking with friends. Interactions with other seniors help build relationships in an exciting and stimulating environment. They participate with friendly faces during activities. At the end of the day, they feel a sense of accomplishment so that they connect as a member of the community.

5. Consistent Respite Care for Caretakers

Serving as a caretaker for a senior can be overwhelming. Whether it is a family member or a professional caregiver, they need time to take care of their other responsibilities and their own well-being.

Respite care through Town Square makes it easy for caretakers to take breaks and accomplish other needed tasks. They never have to worry that their loved one isn’t getting needed social or medical attention. Town Square provides the dependable care you need to give you peace of mind. You will know that while you work, get a break, or run errands, they are in good hands.

Adult day care is more than a compromise between keeping a loved one at home and providing the care they need. At Town Square, we make all the time that our members spend here fun and beneficial. It isn’t just a place to pass the time; it’s an incredible way to invest it.
