How to Build Lasting Friendships in Assisted Living
Staying social and participating in activities and events keeps seniors fulfilled and encourages healthy lifestyles. However, seniors may fall into the habit of doing the same things with the same people, or with their family members. Living at home, or participating in a reclusive lifestyle, limits a senior’s social circle and exploration. Moving to a senior living community should be seen as a great opportunity to make new friends with those who are living through the same phase of life. However, the idea of making new friends may bring up anxiety for seniors who have become accustomed to a certain way of living or who are experiencing mild memory loss. Here are some tips for creating lasting friendships within assisted living.
Nowadays, modern senior living facilities offer a wide array of activities for seniors to participate in as a group. Keep an open mind and explore what your community has to offer. By going to the activities you enjoy, you’ll meet people who share your same interests. Hanging out in common areas is a great way to meet residents that have been there a while and can offer some advice and give you some quirky community news. MorningStar of Parker has over 40 community common areas and amenities. Some popular ones for friendly get-togethers are the on-campus coffee shop with barista, the outdoor dining decks equipped with a fire pit, and outdoor strolling paths through lush landscaping.
