How does Plymouth Terrace Empower Resident Autonomy?

 1. Tailored care: No one-size fits all here! We get to know you and your needs and create a plan that provides the right amount of help.

2. Choice is king (or queen): Want to pick out your activities? Done. Want a salad for dinner? Got it! Empowerment is the name of the game.

3. Tech to the rescue: Gadgets like voice assistants and other smart phone features lend a hand with everyday tasks, keeping you independent as long as possible.

4. Designed for you: Imagine wider hallways, grab bars in the bathroom, and lighting you can adjust. These smart design features make it easier to get around safely and do things on your own.

5. Talk it out: Open communication is key. Caregivers who listen and treat you with respect make all the difference. It's a team effort, after all!

 

Assisted living can be a fantastic way to keep your independence and enjoy a vibrant life. Look for a place that puts residents first and you might surprise yourself with how much you thrive!

Why is Sleep so Important as We Age?

Are you battling insomnia?

Are you having a hard time getting a good night’s rest?

 

It’s important to make sleep a priority because it improves your overall well-being:

Lower risk for diseases: Getting more sleep can lower your risk for diabetes and heart disease.

Boost your immune system: More sleep can help your body fight off viruses and infections. 

More self-control:  You’re more likely to make unhealthy lifestyle choices when you’re sleep-deprived. Finding motivation to exercise when you’re tired can be tough, but when you’re well-rested, you may feel more energized to get that work out, walk, or yoga session in.

Refresh your mind and body: Sleep gives your mind and body an opportunity to rest and restore. This can help minimize inflammation, regulate your digestive system, and allow your brain to recharge.

Increased energy:  Getting enough sleep will give you more energy. It helps you stay active and engaged with life, which helps give you a positive outlook and good mood boost!

8 Signs of Mental Health Concerns in Seniors

There are many risk factors for mental illness that can affect seniors disproportionately. One of those is grief, an unfortunately common experience for many folks as they age. Loss of a spouse or loved one can be a precursor to an episode of depression. Another is chronic illness, pain, or the onset of a physical disability. Other risk factors are medication interactions, poor diet or nutrition and substance abuse.

Enlisting the help of trained experts will help decipher the meaning of the changes you have observed. The following checklist can also help you determine if you’re dealing with a potentially serious behavioral change.

            

Signs of mental health concerns in seniors:

1.     Difficulty maintaining concentration – sudden confusion or disorientation
