According to recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), physical activity is essential to healthy aging. At Twin Town Villa, we understand the importance of social and physical activity, and our assisted living community has a variety of safe, fun, and healthy activities that our residents can enjoy. 

Prevent Loss of Mobility

Regular physical and social activity can prevent loss of mobility, delay or prevent symptoms of arthritis, and improve sleep and appetite. Adults over 65 need at least 150 minutes of physical and social activity per week, including at least 2 days per week of activities that strengthen muscles and improve balance. Mobility promotes healthy aging!

Improve Memory and Brain Function

Studies have shown that participating in social activities that require problem solving, such as doing crossword puzzles and playing card games, can improve memory and brain function. As part of our memory care services, we can design a family and community centered program for your loved one’s specific needs, including social activity and games that improve memory function.

Reduce Risk of Heart Attack, Stroke, and More

You can help your loved one reduce their risk of a heart attack, stroke, falls, and other health issues by ensuring they participate in daily physical and social activity. A senior living community or Alzheimer’s care community can provide safe, enriching physical and social activity for your loved one.

Learn More About Our Community Life Program

Our Community Life program, called “A Part of You,” includes activities, hobbies, and events that are designed specifically centered around our residents’ experiences and preferences. Because we want our assisted living community members to feel like family, we encourage them to help us design our social and physical activity curriculum.

Once you and your family have made the decision to move your loved one into a senior living community or assisted living community, you will need to actually plan the physical move. Taking some extra time to plan can ensure that the move is less stressful and easier for your loved one and the whole family. At Twin Town Villa, we are happy to work with you every step of the way to make sure that your loved one’s move is successful. 

Involve Your Loved One in the Process

Whenever and however possible, involve your loved one in the process of moving into an assisted living community. They may already be experiencing feelings like stress, depression, anxiety, abandonment, and loss of control. You can help ease these feelings by letting them assist in selecting belongings, packing, and decorating their new space or apartment in the senior living community.

Take a Tour of the Assisted Living Community

Before you can determine exactly what furniture and belongings your loved one can and can’t take with them into the assisted living community, you will need to take a tour or make an additional visit. Bring your loved one with you so that they know what to expect during the move. Take measurements of the new living space and ask us about how residents are allowed to customize the space if you have questions.

Hire a Moving and Storage Company

Hiring a moving and storage company can significantly ease the stress of moving your loved one into an assisted living community. Some organizations, such as AARP, even offer a discount to seniors who are moving. Using a storage facility can also ease some of the burdens of deciding exactly what you can and can’t take with you.

Get a First Level Apartment or Room if you can

Apartments that are on the first level are often preferred.  They are easier to access, not only for the movers when it is time to move in but also for the resident and their family. First-level apartments are currently available at Twin Town Villa in Breckenridge, but not for long. Contact us for current availability!
