Something that often occurs as we age is an era of isolation. Decreased mobility, loss of partners, and health issues may lead to decreased social activity as we tend to want to stay at home rather than face the challenges of an outing. However, it is this isolation itself that can lead to worsening health, mental alacrity, and physical abilities.
Luckily, Monarchs Senior Living offers rental units for those seniors wishing to embrace community living options in a safe, comfortable and vibrant environment where socialising and connectivity are the norm rather than the exception.
In this blog post, we will look at some of the many benefits of living in a rental unit at Monarchs Senior Living.
Thrive in a Built-In Community
There are multiple benefits to living in a community at all stages of life, but even more so as we age. To thrive, we must connect with others, and when we do, this is how it can make a difference:
- Mental Health: Isolation and the resultant loneliness have a negative impact on mental health and can lead to conditions such as depression and anxiety.
- Physical Health: Links have been established between living alone and a higher risk of health problems, such as heart disease, dementia, and high blood pressure.
- Cognitive Health: Social stimulation positively impacts the cognitive functions of memory, attention span, and executive functions. These interactions help stimulate the brain and keep us more alert than those that live in isolation.
- Changing Roles: Now that we are older, our responsibilities change, and connecting with others gives a sense of purpose to our lives that may otherwise be lacking.
In a nutshell, keeping busy, active, and socially connected provides the means to maintain a better quality of life and enjoyment of living.
