Everyone knows that living in New York is expensive, and when you are a senior looking to transition to an assisted living environment or a family member who is looking to help a senior relative move to an assisted living environment, you may worry that those higher costs of living mean that you will not be able to find an assisted living facility in New York that offers both affordability and high-quality care. However, Chelsea Senior Ldpiving has two New York assisted living facilities. Located in Plainview, New York, and Rockville Centre, New York, these facilities offer high-quality care at surprisingly affordable prices, that let seniors stay close to their communities as they transition to a senior living scenario.
Why is finding a senior living facility that is located in or near a senior’s community or family so important? One of the biggest health hurdles that seniors face, as they move into assisted living, is depression. Often the move to assisted living is accompanied by other major life changes, such as the loss of a spouse or a significant change in physical condition. These changes provide stressors for people, and stress contributes to depression. Removing a senior from community ties or making it burdensome for the senior to visit with family can create additional stressors. However, keeping a senior connected with friends and family increases opportunities for socialization, which can actually reduce the risk of depression. Keeping seniors local, whenever possible, also makes it easier for them to continue seeing their medical-care providers, attending services at their houses of worship, and continuing to volunteer in the community.
To find out if Chelsea Senior Living is right for you, please come tour one of our facilities.
