5 Reasons To Choose An Independent Living Community

Are You Ready For Independent Living?

As we age and our loved ones get older, it can be harder for us to keep up with the every day hassles of owning a home. Cooking meals, cleaning the house, maintaining the yard, and traveling can really start to be a nuisance when you get older. You may be perfectly healthy, but your body might have a different opinion. Maybe you live in a big house all by yourself and you are tired of being alone. Do not worry, you are not alone. Many seniors require extra care and need more attention than they can get from their family. Are you an aging adult 55 years or older? Are you searching for peace of mind? - Independent living might be your solution! Check out 5 reasons why you should move to an Independent living community!

Why Choose Senior Apartments?

For starters, nobody wants to sell their house. It is not an easy thing to do. If you ever get the chance to speak with residents at Villa Rose Senior Living Community, many will tell you they wish they would have sold their house and made the move sooner. Senior Apartments at Villa Rose are not the same thing as a nursing home or an assisted living community. Here are some of the common examples why:

1. 3 Meals Daily -

How much time out of the day do you spend preparing meals and doing the dishes? The average person spends about 1-2 hours a day cooking and cleaning up after themselves. What could you do with your spare time if you did not have to cook anymore? Ask some of the residents at Villa Rose Senior Living Community. At Villa Rose, we offer relaxing restaurant style dining. A healthy diet is essential. Homestyle cooked meals are made right here in our building every day for our residents. Villa Rose serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although our senior apartments are equipped with kitchenettes, many will tell you they only use their microwave and fridge because the food is so good!

2. Social Life -

Are you alone? Do you like being by yourself? - Probably not, right? In most cases, social isolation can be devastating to your mental and physical health. At Villa Rose Senior Living Community, we understand the importance of your overall health. We have built a place that you can call home and every person will call you by your name. We offer a variety of social activities, events, and games on a weekly basis in our community. Enjoy competitive bingo or solve a puzzle with your friends. Getting the most out of each day is essential to help live our lives to the fullest each day.

3. Supportive Services -

You may already hear this a lot, “Mom, if you fall again you may have to move to a care center.” - Does this sound familiar? At Villa Rose, residents have access to 24/7 supportive services and aid from the on-site private duty home care service. There are pull-cords set up in every bathroom and bedroom in our units. As healthy as you may feel, you may never know when your health can decline. Resident’s have access to help when the time comes. Services such as medication reminders, bathing assistance, meal escorts, and much more can be provided if requested. The beauty of it is: You only pay for what you need.

4. Housekeeping -

One of the pleasures of living at Villa Rose Senior Living Community is that we guarantee your apartment will be cleaned once a week. Cleaning can be one of the biggest hassles for seniors as they get older. Cleaning can be physically exhausting and can result in pain or injury. You may not be able to perform the same tasks as you did when you were younger, and that is okay. At Villa Rose, our friendly housekeeping department has the elbow grease to keep your apartment in great shape! Linens are also provided and exchanged on a weekly basis. Schedule a tour today and come see why our facility is one of the cleanest around!

5. Peace of Mind

Safety and security are both important key factors when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle and having peace of mind. Knowing you or a loved one is safe and secured can help you sleep at night. When a senior is still living at home, they are more prone to accidents. Cold winters can bring slippery ice and air conditioners can break during the hot summers. Transportation to regular doctor visits can become a nuisance. Villa Rose also offers transportation to help reduce that stress. It can be very stressful for family members to take care of you when they have their own busy schedules. It can impact your relationships with your family members. Villa Rose offers a safe and sound environment. Our building is fireproof and there is staff here 24/7. When something breaks, we fix it. When you need help with something, we help you.

Can You Afford Senior Housing?

If you have already done your research on independent living communities, you may have found a broad range of pricing. Pricing can depend on numerous factors such as location, size of residence, amenities, and whether or not you need supportive services. At Villa Rose, we do not require any large or insane upfront “community fees” or “entrance fees” like some places, which can be up to $10,000. We only require a $250 application fee that is nonrefundable. First, you must note that Independent Living is considered private pay. Most people get the funding they need from Social Security or selling their house. The average independent living monthly rate is around $3,200. At Villa Rose, we offer affordable pricing starting at $1530. Our average 1-bedroom cost is about $2350. We have had some of the best rates in Bethalto, IL for over 36 years.
