2. Your loved one is closer to you during waking hours.

Whether a small incident or a bigger emergency, being nearby your loved one during waking hours means you’re a phone call and a few blocks away. When something does happen, and you’re the one they call, being close is critical to what happens next. Since many incidents that seniors experience do happen during up-and-about waking hours, having the peace-of-mind knowing that you’re nearby if and when they need you is invaluable.

3. In the midst of hustle-and-bustle.

Keeping our minds engaged as we age is one way to slow memory loss and impairment, and a good way to help prevent depression. Being at a Community with neighbors, support, activities, and programming is great; being at a downtown Community means there is even more to engage residents’ brains—interesting people from all walks of life going to and from work, lunch crowds, cars driving by, runners and bikers, delivery trucks… Downtown residents are surrounded by the kind of hustle-and-bustle that can help them keep their eyes watching and observing, their brains thinking, and makes for good conversation!

4. More time together.

Being closer to you downtown means more opportunities for dinner, drop-in lunches, coffee before work in the morning, or quick check-ins with your loved one and with the Community’s staff. It means less time in the car to get to where they are, and more time to actually sit down and spend with them. Life is short, and spending quality time with our loved ones as they age is good for them and for us. Being closer in proximity also means you can be more involved in their care, and making sure necessary communication is occurring with the care team.
