Why Visiting a Senior Living Community is the Key to Finding the Right Fit

Visiting a senior living community is an essential step in choosing the right fit for you or your loved one. Edgehill, a senior living community located in Stamford, Connecticut, offers an exceptional lifestyle, amenities and care options to consider during your search.

With so many factors to weigh—such as amenities, services, atmosphere and overall quality of life—this is one of the most important decisions you or your loved one will make. By experiencing a community firsthand, you can better assess the lifestyle, amenities and care options available—ensuring you or your loved one finds the perfect fit.

This article will help you understand why visiting a community in person is essential and what to look for during your visit.

The Power of a Personal Visit

A visit allows you to immerse yourself in the environment, meet the people who call the community home and truly envision your future there. Like Edgehill, the best communities offer a full continuum of care, including Assisted Living, Memory Care, Sub-Acute Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing. Live the independent life you love and benefit from the comfort that comes with knowing future care is available should you need it.

Beyond care, studies have shown that continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) like Edgehill provide a vibrant and engaging environment filled with social activities, recreation and opportunities for connection. Many older adults cite social engagement and a sense of belonging as key reasons for moving to a CCRC and this research confirms that community living fosters close ties among residents.

Experiencing the lifestyle firsthand during a visit can help you see how an active and supportive environment can enhance your well-being as you age.

Bring a Companion for Support

When visiting a senior living community, consider bringing a trusted companion, such as an adult child or a close friend. Having someone with you provides valuable support, a second perspective and an extra set of ears to absorb details you might miss.

A companion can help ask important questions, take notes and offer emotional support as you navigate this significant decision. Their insights and observations may highlight factors you had not considered, ensuring you make the most informed choice about your future home.

Get Your Questions Answered

During your visit, you will have the opportunity to speak with knowledgeable associates. Come prepared with a list of questions, such as:

• What is included in the monthly fees, and what types of home maintenance are covered?
• What types of social, recreational, and wellness activities are available?
• Are special dietary needs accommodated?

Exploring these key aspects firsthand will help you understand how the community can support your lifestyle and well-being at every stage.
