Independent Senior Living Amenities That Make Life Easier

How anxious are you about losing independence as you age? According to the AARP, more than half of adults between the ages of 50 and 64 are worried about losing their independence as they age. More than 40% of adults above the age of 65 share such a fear!

Nicknamed Arizona's Antique Capital, there are few areas better to spend your golden years than Glendale. Whether you're here for our historic downtown area or just to celebrate the Cardinals, there's always something here for you!

How can you make the most of your independent senior living amenities while enjoying your new lifestyle benefits? Thankfully, there are countless ways to make your life easier when focusing on your golden years. Here's our quick guide on some amenities to look for.

Enjoying Your Dining

Proper nutrition is crucial for everyone, but for seniors, it's considerably more important. According to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, healthy eating will help prevent many chronic diseases.

Here at Westgate Village, we're happy to give you dining options that will simplify your daily life. Cooking, cleaning, and doing dishes present such a hassle, not to mention shopping for groceries! Why not let us handle such hassles for you?

Our bistro area is a great location to enjoy your meals, as are our private dining areas. You'll also enjoy having three home-style meals prepared daily so that you can look forward to your nutritious meals. Don't worry, we don't only serve food three times a day - there's always room service and snacking!

Maintenance and Housekeeping

One of the first things you should consider is how you'll handle day-to-day tasks - or, more specifically, how daily support in Glendale will help you handle these tasks. You'd be amazed to think of how many injuries and accidents occur from basic, everyday tasks that seniors try to handle.

That isn't only in reference to dangerous tasks. We can all imagine how climbing a ladder could cause an accident, but what about bending over to clean? Something as simple as leaning over to pick up a discarded towel can cause a fall, especially on a freshly mopped floor.

According to the National Institutes of Health, roughly 1 in every 10 seniors experiences multiple annual falls. While that number is shocking, it doesn't include the many seniors who only experience a single fall!

Here at Westgate Village Senior Living, we're proud to handle your maintenance tasks for you. You'll enjoy simplifying your day by knowing that any maintenance required is handled by us instead of needing to hassle yourself!

Does it sound like there's still more to be done? We're also happy to assist you with our weekly housekeeping visits to help tidy up. That way, you can safely avoid bothersome cleaning and focus on enjoying your days.

Staying Active

How much exercise are you getting throughout your day? Handling your health and wellness is a full-time job, and often more than the average person wants to handle. We've already looked into nutrition, but what about exercise?

There are dozens of comfort-focused features that senior services in AZ will offer. Here at Westgate Village, we're proud to offer plenty of ways to stay active!

Enjoying the Outdoors

One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors is to engage with our community grounds. These grounds are the perfect way to pass a few hours in meditation, or simply enjoying the weather.

You'll also enjoy our patio area, where you can sun when the weather's right for it. Want to take your meals outside? We're also happy to provide you with a bistro area!

What if you're enjoying your days with a fluffy friend? We're pet-friendly, so don't worry about having to keep a pet cooped up!

Staying Inside

Of course, there are still plenty of reasons to stay active indoors. Maybe the weather is taking a turn, or maybe you're just more comfortable indoors!

We're proud to offer a community center that will help you enjoy classes focused on fitness and exercise. We also offer a library so you can exercise your mind and stay sharp, as well as our activity room.These are also great ways to stay social!

Frequently Asked Questions

Few choices have a greater impact than where you decide to spend your retirement. While we at Westgate Village are positive we're a shining future for you, we understand there are always a few questions to ask. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.

Can My Loved Ones Visit?

Of course! There's a nasty stereotype that retirement communities are dismal, lonely locations. While this stereotype is prevalent, it's also utterly false.

The truth is that we as a community are extremely welcoming of family, friends, loved ones, and all other welcome visits. These visits are a great way to socialize and improve the mental health of our beloved residents.

Still, it's worth noting that many communities will have timing restrictions. This is for the comfort of other community members, as it's difficult to rest when people can come at all hours of the night.

Can I Bring My Beloved Pet?

Here at Westgate Village, we're proud to welcome you and your pet. Our pet-friendly apartments are a perfect way for you to enjoy your retirement with your best friend.

How Often Can I Leave the Community?

Your community is your home, not your cage. So long as you are safe and independent, you're welcome to leave at any time, especially if there's any sort of emergency or situation that requires your presence.
