The Scenic Route, Season 2, Episode 1: Jack

When it’s time to start considering new living arrangements, either for yourself or for a loved one, it can be challenging to know which options are best. Even if you’re spoiled for choice, trying to determine what each offers fits your needs can be overwhelming.

As our family members get older, we do our best to help them continue a comfortable life. You might stop by your parents’ house once a week to bring their garbage bin to the road, or pass by your grandparents’ to bring in their mail. Regardless of the scenario, when your family asks for help, you want to be there. But what happens when you can’t provide the level of care they need? For most people, it means considering professional senior care.

Older people are at higher risk than ever before, and it's not just because of the novel coronavirus. 

If these unprecedented times have taught us anything, it's how valuable modern technology can be for connecting with our loved ones, and especially those in senior care! Whether they're in an assisted living community or another form of distant long-term care, having so much technology at our fingertips to help us connect with our senior family members is a blessing.

Chances are, you're reading this article because you're tasked with the responsibility of caring for a loved one who's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. You love your family to the moon, but the ongoing strain on time and cost of care can ultimately become too much to bear. We understand, and we're ready to help. 

Excellent nutrition is vital to everyone's health, and it's notably important to our senior family members. At Weatherly Inn, we are especially proud of our dining options for both assisted living and independent living communities. If you're touring senior living communities, looking for a place for your parent or grandparent, it's essential to know that you don't need to settle for a depressing cafeteria environment or solitary dining.

Americans are living longer than they used to, which is terrific news! Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life and stay independent for as long as possible.

The golden years often bring wonderful life-changing experiences such as retirement and traveling. However, they often come with new challenges like ailments and disease. After a severe illness, fall, or diagnosis of Alzheimer's, a spouse may become completely dependent on the other. A significant health change for a spouse can quickly change all retirement plans.
