A Few Myths About Assisted Living
Many seniors are hesitant to move into assisted living because of the myths and misconceptions that are associated with these communities. Here are a few common myths and why they’re false:

Myth #1: Assisted living is the same thing as a nursing home
The truth is assisted living communities offer residents housing and varying levels of support for daily activities and household tasks. Seniors who live in assisted living communities like Willow Wind have their own apartments that provide them with a flexible amount of independence so they can enjoy active, social lifestyles. Nursing homes, on the other hand, are long-term care centers that offer comprehensive, around-the-clock care to support their residents.

Myth #2: You have to be sick or disabled to be a resident
The truth is many assisted living residents have very few chronic conditions and simply choose to live in a place where they can have a little extra assistance. Meals, housekeeping, laundry, daily fun activities, transportation to medical appointments – there are just a few reasons residents move in.

Myth #3: You will lose your independence
The truth is moving to an assisted living community can actually give you more independence than you’re used to! The staff at Willow Wind Assisted Living work with residents and their loved ones to plan out the level of care for that individual so they don’t have to worry about doing the activities they no longer want to do. This often frees up seniors’ schedules so they can spend more time with friends and family and doing the hobbies they enjoy.
