The holidays are meant to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for many families, they can also be the most overwhelming! Between traveling, shopping for gifts, and all those holiday gatherings, the joy of the season can get lost, especially when you’re also navigating a senior loved one needing extra care and support.
This holiday season, consider transitioning your loved one to assisted living at a Provision community. With compassionate care, festive community events, and our professional care team to help with the transition, it can be a true gift to both your loved one and yourself. Here are five reasons to make the move to assisted living before the holiday rush begins!
Beat the holiday rush
With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season in full swing, adding a move to senior living can be stressful, especially if you’re a family caregiver on the verge of caregiver burnout. Transitioning to assisted living before the holidays gives your family more time to plan, pack, and find the right apartment, while your loved one has more time to settle into their new community. Once the move is finished, the focus can shift to decorating cookies, attending holiday performances, or just enjoying the holiday season with your loved one at their new community, while saying goodbye to worrying about your loved one’s care.
More holiday fun
At Provision Living, we offer a full calendar of holiday events to make your loved one’s spirits bright, from tree-trimming and menorah-lighting to holiday concerts and card decorating. Residents and visiting families can share in community events, themed holiday meals, and all the pleasures of the season here at the community, without worrying about cooking, cleaning, or company coming, essentially, enjoying holiday traditions without the holiday stress!
Building lasting connections
During the holidays at Provision, we love hosting shared meals, seasonal crafts, and group outings, so residents can enjoy themselves and form new friendships. And if residents have favorite holiday traditions and stories, decorations, songs, movies, or recipes, our caring team will coordinate those celebrations to honor each resident’s personal preferences. We make sure family members know they are always welcome to join in!
Peace of mind for the holidays
When your loved one makes the move to a Provision assisted living community, you’ll take comfort knowing their care needs are fully supported. Our compassionate care team is available around the clock, so residents can enjoy the holiday season without having to worry about missed medications, meal prep, or mobility challenges. The result is more quality time and meaningful visits spent with your loved one, while knowing they’re valued and cared for when you’re apart.
A season of comfort
Winter weather can be unpredictable, but in assisted living, your loved one no longer needs to be worried about icy sidewalks or the challenges of home maintenance in winter. At Provision Living, our welcoming senior living communities offer warm spaces and attentive team members close by, so your loved one can enjoy the season stress-free.
