 It is never too early to start evaluating senior living resources and options in your community.  Identifying the right solution for an individual or family can be quite cumbersome. It is not one size fits all. There are so many benefits to getting out and visiting communities and talking to members of those communities to get an idea of whether it might be a good fit.  The best advice I can give to seniors and families is to start early in the decision-making process. There are so many advantages to living in a community environment. I often hear residents and families say they wish they hadn’t waited so long to make the move!

All questions are good questions! 

As providers, we understand that this is an overwhelming experience. Understanding all components of moving to a community creates realistic expectations. Some items to consider are admission and discharge policies specific to level of licensure—not all communities are created equal. Various assisted living communities can each hold varying levels of licenses, resulting in significant differences in the potential of a resident being able to stay in a community for the duration of their life.  Some communities can assist with oxygen, casts, braces, feeding tubes, and dependence on full care by team members while other communities cannot. Learning the differences and finding the right fit through a knowledgeable resource can positively impact the experience for your loved one and family as time goes forward.  

No one moves into a community with the desire to move again, so make sure you ask the right questions and identify the solution that has the best potential of being long term.  The Blake at Hamlin holds a license as an assisted living facility. We also hold a specialty license called Extended Congregate Care that allows for residents to age in place in circumstances that may warrant a discharge from an assisted living facility without this specialty license. 

Seniors can expect a robust schedule of enriching activities, delicious meals and new friends.
This is combined with the peace of mind of knowing that they have access to supportive services to optimize their quality of life each and every day! 

In senior living, we understand that our residents are often downsizing from larger family homes and in many cases, this is the biggest barrier seniors face as they consider moving.  It is human nature to want to carry our treasured memories with us when we begin a new chapter, and it is perfectly normal and expected. For many people, our belongings are a defining factor in our lives. 

At The Blake, we challenge our seniors to think about the space within their home in which they actually “live”. Often, they realize it is much smaller than the larger home and in fact it is just getting in the way of them living their best life.  We want our residents to bring items from home that are meaningful to them and create a balance between the home they are leaving and the new home they are creating.  They can decorate their new homes with furniture, new and old, hang pictures, paintings and family photographs on their walls and really just make it their own.  Although, be prepared to not spend as much time as you might think in your apartment because between new friends, events and outings, you’ll stay busier and more engaged than you ever thought was possible.
