Very seldom does a person or their family select a senior living community without a thorough understanding of what the community has to offer. One of the most important things to do when considering senior living is to ask questions!
In some cases, you might be able to find the answers to basic questions on the community website, such as “What lifestyle options are offered?” or “What floor plans are available?” However, more nuanced questions about care, community living, and your family’s specific situation may need to be asked in order to determine if the community is the right fit.
Our team at Peaceful Pines Senior Living is proactively asking and answering some of our most frequently asked questions to get you started!
What is the Difference Between Lifestyle Options?
Each Peaceful Pines senior living community is designed with a continuum of care in mind to meet older adults’ needs during all stages of life.
Independent living is designed for active older adults who are looking to enhance their retirement. With maintenance-free living and spacious apartments, independent living residents have more time and opportunity to find purpose and joy in every day.
While offering the same amenities as independent living, assisted living supports those who need additional assistance with daily tasks and routines.
Lastly, our memory care services are intentionally designed to support those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. We customize care plans for each individual to ensure they receive supportive care throughout their journey.
When Should I Consider Assisted Living or Memory Care for Someone I Love?
The “right time” for senior living will look different for everyone. However, if someone you love needs support with mobility, personal hygiene, or other daily activities, it may be time to consider an assisted living community. On the other hand, if someone you love has been diagnosed with dementia and is exhibiting behaviors that can impact their health and safety, it might be time to consider memory care options.

My Dad Takes Daily Medications But Often Forgets to Take Them. How Do You Handle This for Residents?
