Finding the Right Bristol Retirement Community

You’ve no doubt been searching for phrases like “senior living”, “senior care”, “bristol retirement community” or “bristol independent living” in order to pinpoint the best options for yourself or a loved one. In the Bristol, TN area there may be many options to choose from.

It’s important to take time and do the research to understand what is offered in different senior living communities so that you can be sure your specific needs will be met.

If you’re interested in aging in place, a community that offers independent living as well as higher levels of care is your best bet. Let’s take a look at why it’s important to find options that include both assisted living and memory care in one community.

First, What Is Assisted Living?

AARP defines assisted living facilities as being “designed for older people who are no longer able to manage living independently and need help with daily activities such as bathing or dressing, but don’t require the round-the-clock health care that a nursing home would provide.”

Assisted living allows seniors to remain independent by providing the help that they need to manage those daily tasks. In addition, communities like Dominion of Bristol provide residents with a robust social life and plenty of opportunities to get involved with hobbies, groups, excursions, and events.

Hassles like laundry and housekeeping can also become a thing of the past with assisted living. Our community’s goal is to help residents maintain their independence. Support with activities like dressing, bathing, medication reminders, and coordination of transportation and health services means you have more time to devote to hobbies, friends, and family.

Amenities like private rooms, worship services, cyber cafe, salon services, transportation, and even on-site rehabilitation and health services seek to make life easier and more enjoyable. Think nurturing care surrounded by a community of friends.

Staying social

Senior living communities also provide a rich social environment full of planned activities. Research shows us that social interaction is beneficial for seniors’ health and well-being. Many who live at home are at risk for health issues due to isolation and loneliness. You won’t have to worry about that here!

We’re always up to fun activities like:

From gardening to concerts and exercise programs, there’s something for everyone.

What is memory care?

Memory care services cater to the specific needs of seniors living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Because their daily routines, diet, living environment, and activities should be specialized, it’s important to find a community that understands and can cater to this population.

Navigating memory loss can be an emotional and overwhelming journey. Many times, the consistency they need is more than you can provide alone. It’s okay to ask for help.

You want your loved one to have the best care available. That’s where we come in.
