At some point in time, an aging loved one may need a bit more help than friends and/or relatives are able to give on a regular basis. If eating, bathing, transferring, toileting, and more have become troublesome, a move is likely in the very near future.
If a loved one has trouble with ADLs (activities of daily living), it may be time to do a little research on assisted living apartments in Jupiter, FL. To help in your endeavor – or that of your loved one – here’s a bit of a preview as to what it’s like to live in Jupiter, FL assisted living apartments.
Assisted Living Communities And Their Differences
Keep in mind that every retirement community is different. Some of the amenities, activities and events, programs, and more will depend largely on the size of the community and the availability of care team members. Your best bet, when trying to find out what an assisted living community is like, is to narrow your choices down to a couple. After that, take a tour of the most promising candidates.
Additionally, the specific apartments/units offered by an assisted living community will vary from location to location. While some residences may be small and cozy, others may be roomier and more luxurious. More on that shortly.
A Typical Day
Let’s take a look at the life of a retiree living in an assisted living community and what a typical day might entail.
Start your day with breakfast – roughly 8 AM. You may prefer to make a meal in your apartment, or dine with others in the community dining area.
Programs, classes, etc. are offered after breakfast (around 9:30 AM). These can include activities that promote and encourage mental and physical health, such as an exercise class.
Additional social activities may take place around 10:30 AM which can include arts and crafts, book clubs, trivia challenges, and more.
Around noon, lunch is usually served. Once again, this can mean preparing your own or enjoying a scrumptious meal with others.
In the early afternoon, you may decide to take a trip into town to do some shopping or attend an entertainment program on site. Alternatively, you may choose to take a nap, have tea with friends, or read a book – it’s up to you.
Happy Hour, around 4 PM or so, is a part of the day that is popular with many retirees. Here, birthdays and anniversaries may be celebrated, holiday festivities participated in, cocktails shared, and more.
Dinner time may occur around 5:30 PM or thereabouts. Prepare your own in the comfort and privacy of your apartment or join the others in a fine dining atmosphere.
At 7 PM – sometime after dinner – it’s time for another activity. This could be community bowling, movie night, or something on those lines. If you don’t feel like attending an activity with others, your time is your own to spend as you wish.
A little personal time can be enjoyed around 8 PM. Wind down, revel in some quiet time, and when you feel like your day is complete, turn off the lights and go to bed.
