As retirees age, they might reach a point when it’s worthwhile to consider the benefits of an assisted living community. Many 55+ communities provide independent living in a home-like environment with a range of services to keep them active.
When could it be time to actively consider assisted living? For those beginning to struggle with managing financial resources, not keeping up with personal and household hygiene, experiencing health issues, or just feeling lonely and isolated, it might be time to make a move.
Key attributes of an assisted living community can be:
- Providing security and peacefulness
- Assistance with everyday living needs
- Improved dietary habits
- Opportunities for social activities
- Keeping stress levels at their lowest
Extra Income Is Crucial in Retirement, No Matter Where You Live
Assisted living can be a little easier with extra income. For a number of years, seniors did not receive an adequate Social Security cost of living adjustments (COLAs). The total withheld from benefits adds up to $581. That’s why Council of Seniors has been working diligently to get Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. Passage of this bill will return this money to eligible seniors.
Please sign our petition today. Your participation will help make a real difference in getting this money that seniors deserve.
