Many people believe that aging leads to a loss of independence, mobility and quality of life. While genetic factors that affect healthy aging are beyond your control, the right environment can contribute to a fulfilling retirement lifestyle. Factors that determine this include purposeful activities, encouraging positive mindsets, a community structure that adapts to residents’ abilities and adequate resources to provide interdisciplinary support. A good Senior Assisted Living community will be able to provide a holistic environment for its residents that fosters independence and dignity.
Comprehensive Daily Schedules
A healthy aging model involves a schedule of regular physical activity, social events and health routines. A daily schedule helps you decide on the activities you want to engage in to make your day meaningful, imparting a sense of purpose in your life. In our Assisted Living community, social and wellness activities are curated to suit your preferences, and our caregivers will guide you in tailoring your routine to meet your goals. Solo activities like reading or meditation can also help reduce stress and promote better sleep.
Socialization Opportunities
Building meaningful connections with others is a critical component of a healthy aging model. Social connectedness encourages a sense of belonging that increases self-esteem and boosts mental health — very important factors as you move into a new residence. An assisted living community provides many chances to interact with other residents, caregivers and family members. Bonding with your neighbors is facilitated through scheduled day trips to downtown Albuquerque, themed dinner parties and fitness classes.
Ongoing Evaluation of Your Well-being
To take care of the health aspect of the healthy aging model, assisted living communities should provide frequent assessments to evaluate your physical and mental well-being, such as medical check-ups and therapy sessions. Personalized care plans typically include medication management and assistance with daily living activities. These care plans will also be constantly evaluated by Senior Lifestyle Counselors to better reflect your current condition.
Nutritional Dining Programs
Maintaining a nutritious diet is essential for healthy aging since it can influence cognitive health. Personalized dietary counseling has been proven to promote adherence to a healthy diet, and our professional chefs work together with nutritionists to craft meals that accommodate your medical needs. Our Senior Living Restaurant-Style Dining program includes three-course menus of regional comfort favorites and international flavors, and we commit to utilizing the freshest ingredients for maximum health benefits.
Conducive Environment
A relaxing space to let you thrive is the final key to a healthy aging model. Assisted living communities should be designed with carefully thought-out amenities to promote convenience and independent engagement. Aside from our resort-style apartments, our community also features outdoor spaces where you can engage in me-time or interact with other residents. Our gated community with security patrols, well-lit walkways and emergency response systems also contribute to feelings of safety. The natural landscape of Albuquerque allows you to bask in nature and de-stress against a backdrop of the Sandia Mountains and desert.
