Types of Senior Living Communities

By

When a senior citizen is no longer able or willing to live on their own, there are many different types of senior living communities, each with different services and care. Twin Town Villa is proud to offer Assisted Living, Care Suites, and Memory Care communities.

Senior Housing & Senior Living Communities

Independent Living Communities

Senior Living CommunitiesIndependent Living Communities are also commonly referred to as a retirement community. Seniors can rent or buy their retirement homes.  Usually, senior residents in these communities don’t need help with daily living tasks, as most can take care of themselves.  But, conveniences such as meals, house cleaning, laundry service or transportation may be available.  Seniors who are independent, but don’t want to live alone would be a good fit for an Independent Living Community.

Assisted Living Communities

Assisted Living Communities are similar to Independent Living Communities except they also offer personal care services such as bathing, dressing, and taking medications. Elderly adults who are somewhat active but need some assistance with daily tasks may find an assisted living community to be the best fit for them.  At Twin Town Villa’s Assisted Living Community, supportive services are available 24 hours a day. Twin Town Villa Assisted Living offers a special combination of housing, supportive services, personal assistance, and health care designed to respond to the individual needs of those who need help with activities of daily living.

Care Suites

Care Suites Communities are for residents who need a higher level of care than assisted living. Twin Town Villa’s Care Suites are designed to provide 24-hour care with more one-on-one services and health-related services. The comforting home-like environment also includes a private bathroom. Restorative and rehabilitative care is available to help residents regain or maintain independence.

Memory Care Communities

Memory Care Communities provide special assistance for residents with memory loss, including Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of memory impairments. Close supervision is provided 24 hours a day in a secure, friendly, residential atmosphere. At Twin Town Villa, our Memory Care community features bright, beautiful apartments and an outdoor courtyard to feel like home.

A quick update on our wellness program

By

A quick recap from last month’s blog, we incorporated a healthy eating bingo to tie in with our PartnerSHIP for Health program we are doing here at Twin Town Villa.

Employees needed to eat certain fruits and vegetables to be able to mark a spot on the bingo card to earn their bingo. For July in honor of National Parks and Recreation month we have put together a calendar for each day in July there is an exercise or outside activity to be done!

Who’s up for the challenge?!

National Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Month!

By

In honor of Global Employee Health and Fitness Month in May we challenged all Twin Town Villa employees to drink 64oz of water a day which was tracked on a 30 day challenge calendar as part of the PartnerSHIP 4 Health program we are participating in.

In conjunction with that June is National fresh fruit and vegetable month. Why are eating fruits and vegetables so important? Here’s a few facts, vegetables are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, fiber and potassium. The USDA recommends consuming 2 cups of fruit per day. Role in disease prevention, eating produce can cut your risk of cardiovascular disease and benefits weight management.

Throughout June we plan to offer plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables not only to our residents here but also in our staff room for employees to enjoy!
