Antidotes for Loneliness and Isolation

Aging can be a challenging time of life that can leave older adults feeling isolated and lonely. Family members and friends do as much as possible, but they have lives and obligations such as kids, jobs and their own mental and physical wellbeing to consider. Assisted living can provide you or your loved one a community of other folks with similar activity levels and abilities.  Read our blog on Three Tips for Making Friends in Assisted Living

At Dayspring Villa, our warm and inviting community is designed for older adults to connect with new people and engage in activities that make them feel at home.

Our unique Rhythms Life Enrichment program integrates the five pillars of wellness to further support you or your loved one to thrive in their new environment. You might see neighbors getting to know each other and bonding over a nice cup of coffee or delicious meal or taking advantage of nature right outside their door at Sloan’s Lake Park or dining and shopping in the nearby Highlands neighborhood. Community Transportation includes trips to museums, zoos, and local events.

One of the most important benefits of assisted living is the peace of mind knowing that you or your loved one is in a safe place where they can thrive. While we may not want to think of ourselves or our loved ones as needing help, there may come a time when it is necessary. Safety is a priority at Dayspring Villa. Every resident is given an emergency pendant and there are pull cords in every apartment. You can enjoy the reassurance that comes with our caring, compassionate, and consistent care while maintaining as much independence and enjoyment as possible.
