Why Addington Place of Prairie Village Is the Top Choice for Senior Living
Moving into an assisted living community can be challenging for families. At best, it's stressful; at worst, it's traumatic. Luckily, it can also be an exciting time when you choose a top-notch community that fosters connectedness, independence, and joy.
Addington Place of Prairie Village doesn't just make the shift easier and less stressful - it makes it smooth. Read on to learn why we're the top choice for senior living in Kansas City.
Multiple Senior Living Options
Some assisted living communities only offer a set number of services for residents. This makes it challenging to tailor help to every resident's individual needs.
Addington Place offers individual care plans to every senior who walks through our doors. This means that older adults can live as independently as possible while still getting the daily assistance needed to thrive.
Part of these care plans is choosing between the various living options in our community.
Assisted living is a standard service for those who need additional support. Compassionate staff helps with personal care like dressing and bathing. Housekeeping and cooking services are also available, as is medication management.
These services also come with memory care plan options, which are designed to keep your loved one cognitively stimulated when their memory is declining. These care plans let seniors retain a sense of self despite the impacts of Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's.
If your loved one only requires short-term care after surgery or while recovering from an injury, you may also choose respite care. This option is ideal for those who only need short-term help and want to be rehabilitated before going home.
Regardless of your choice, our professionals will sit down with new residents and their family members to discuss specific needs and goals. This makes it easy to come up with ways to keep your loved one in great shape so that they can enjoy their golden years.
Beautiful Surroundings
Addington Place of Prairie Village senior living amenities are robust and spacious. There are several types of apartments available.
One-bedroom apartments are standard spaces with a single comfortable bedroom and a living area. They have a sitting area and kitchenette that your loved one can use to feel comfortable and at home.
Suite apartments, one-bedroom deluxe apartments, and deluxe suite apartments are also available. Every apartment comes with quality window treatments that let residents enjoy the sunshine and get the mood boost that natural light provides.
WiFi is also available everywhere, as is adjustable air conditioning. Cable TV makes the space more comfortable for seniors looking to relax on days in.
It's also important to note that our community is 100% pet-friendly, so your loved one can bring their four-legged friend along when moving in!
Cats and dogs are family members and beloved companions, and they also provide a sense of structure and purpose to daily life. This is important, especially during the adjustment period from home to senior care.
But the gorgeous amenities of Addington Place don't stop there. Common areas like dining rooms and lounges are also beautifully appointed. Plus, outdoor seating areas in courtyards and pet areas also add to the beautiful and relaxing ambiance of our community.
Everywhere in the community is 100% accessible for those with mobility issues. Grab bars, wide hallways, spacious doors, railings, and ramps are consistently available. This is true both in apartments and in common areas.
A Robust Activity Calendar
While your loved one will be comfortable and happy in their well-appointed apartment, they're unlikely to want to sit there all the time. Changes in scenery and chances to socialize are important at all stages of life, and retirement doesn't mean that seniors should sacrifice interpersonal connections!
That's why the best senior living in Prairie Village offers a full activity calendar with extremely diverse activities. Church events are available regularly for spiritual wellness, but less religious seniors can still enjoy coming together with like-minded people.
Book clubs, crafting classes, dance troupes, stretching groups, and investment clubs all let residents meet others with similar interests. This provides a strong basis for budding friendships so that senior residents can foster long-term emotional connections.
They'll feel less isolated and lonely when they have meaningful relationships with others in the community that they can easily get together with.
Fitness events like outdoor golfing and walks around the courtyard promote physical well-being as well as offering emotional benefits. Regardless of your loved one's interests, structured activities give them something to look forward to.
Transportation Services
Many calendar events in Addington Place senior care happen outside of the community walls. In these instances, a wheelchair-accessible van or bus will take participating seniors to the location where the event is happening.
Sometimes, the group outing will be to a structured event like a movie or lecture. Other times, it'll just be a chance to get out to shopping areas or restaurants
Regardless, it's easy for residents in assisted living to get around when they live in a community like Addington Place. Even when they need to get rid of their driver's license and have too many mobility issues to use regular public transit, they can still get out.
Transportation services are also sometimes available for individual bookings. If residents need to go to doctor's appointments, they may be able to get an accessible van to take them to their preferred location.
This makes it easy for older adults to get around independently. It also decreases stress for families who don't need to take time off work to drive loved ones to appointments.
Mobility with transportation services is one of the biggest senior living community benefits, so prioritize it when looking for a community!
