GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (ABC 4)- Deciding that you or a senior loved one needs additional support can be difficult. And finding a community that fits your needs and feels like home can feel like an overwhelming task. While various senior living communities and assisted living facility sizes are available, moving into a smaller community has many benefits.
During an AARP Real Possibilities interview, Sue Hamm, Executive Director at the Rose Garden and Christian Haven at Sunset Senior Communities, describes life in a smaller assisted living facility, positive feedback from residents and families and the benefits.
“There’s a lot that goes into healthcare, right? There’s meal service, there’s the care you receive from the staff. There’s life enrichment, activities, and housekeeping. In a small facility, all those things are integrated. All staff participate in every aspect, so the residents really feel that teamwork, that family atmosphere, Sue says.”
In a smaller space, residents can develop close relationships with staff and their peers and feel a sense of belonging in a family-like atmosphere.
“The families feel like we are family. We feel like they are family, and it all works together to provide the best care for the residents, Sue adds.”
