Moving to a new place is always a big decision, and one that deserves careful consideration. However, if you are planning to move to an assisted living facility—or move a loved one into one—in the near future, you should be especially thorough in your research. Our team at Vienna Village Assisted Living is proud to operate one of the best assisted living facilities in North Carolina, and we have put together this article to help you make the best decision for your family.
Keep reading to learn about some of the key factors to consider when choosing an assisted living facility.
- Services – One of the most important things to think about when choosing an assisted living facility is what services the place offers. What kind of support do you or your loved one need to maintain as much independence as possible? Our staff offers an individualized care plan that will allow our residents to get the support they need without sacrificing independence unnecessarily. For example, we offer housekeeping, as well as clinical support to help our residents stay on top of their medication regimen and medical concerns.
- Campus – Another thing to consider when selecting an assisted living facility is the campus or grounds. Spending time outdoors in natural settings has been shown to be beneficial for both physical and mental health, so we recommend choosing a facility with beautiful landscapes. Our team is proud of our campus, which features plenty of gardens, porches, pathways, and other beautiful views. We have also placed many bird feeders to encourage local birds to visit.
- Community – A third key thing to consider when choosing an assisted living facility is the level of community engagement it offers. Socializing regularly and spending time with others are both important to mental and physical health, so our varied calendar of activities offers plenty of opportunities for our residents to spend time together.
