Comparing the cost of enhanced living to the value of what is included is crucial when researching senior community options. If you’re ready to let go of the stress of home maintenance and chores and instead spend your time doing the things you love, the value of senior living is typically worth the price.
This blog, curated by Golden Bell Senior Living, discusses what’s often included in the monthly fees of enhanced living and how it can be invaluable to you and your loved ones.
The cost and value of enhanced living services and amenities
Enhanced living is a community of apartments, cottages, condos, or single-family homes for residents who may or may not need assistance with daily activities. Enhanced living is ideal for older adults who desire convenience, less responsibility, senior-friendly surroundings, and social opportunities.
Remember that enhanced living isn’t designed for seniors with cognitive challenges or chronic health conditions that require ongoing care. Instead, memory care or skilled nursing communities may be a better option.
When you determine that enhanced living will meet your needs, find out the monthly fee and services and amenities it includes. Then, draft a list comparing what you currently pay for your home expenses versus what you can expect to pay in an enhanced living community.
You’ll likely identify invaluable benefits in enhanced living, including peace of mind, increased socialization, numerous fitness opportunities, nutritious meals, and access to medical care when needed. Enhanced living can positively impact your quality of life and overall well-being.
