Whether or not to move into assisted living can be a difficult decision to make. At The Pinnacle of Greenville, we want to help you understand the benefits of community living, and provide you with all the information you need to take that next step.
LIVING AT HOME VS. ASSISTED LIVING
| AT HOME | ASSISTED LIVING | |
|---|---|---|
| Sense of Community: | Living at home alone can be isolating for a senior. You may feel lonely or miss participating in activities with others. | Every day, there are many opportunities to interact and socialize with others. |
| Chores: | Chores and basic household tasks can become more difficult and unmanageable with age, making it more difficult to remain at home alone. | We provide full-service housekeeping and maintenance for all of our residents, at no extra charge, including laundry services. |
| Nutrition: | Seniors living on their own are less likely to want to cook for themselves, and are oftentimes not eating a balanced diet, leaving them nutritionally-challenged. | At The Pinnacle of Greenville, well-balanced, home-style meals are served in a cheerful, family-style dining room, and nutritional snacks and drinks are served daily. |
| Security: | Many seniors who live alone may worry about their safety and security, in the event of an emergency. | The Pinnacle of Greenville provides you with support 24-hours a day, and has a dedicated secured memory care unit. |
| Activity: | Many seniors may neglect needed physical fitness, which can lead to more serious health issues in the future. | Our activities director keeps a slate of activities and group events scheduled for our residents’ entertainment and fitness. |
| Independence: | The worries and stress of independent living, and of being a burden on family can leave seniors feeling exhausted or unhappy. | We provide all the daily help and support your loved one needs so they can gain a new sense of self-esteem and independence. |
| Health Monitoring: | Health needs become more complex as we age, and managing your health and wellness can become difficult to do alone. | We help to support seniors in monitoring and managing their health and wellness in a variety of ways and for various conditions. |
