Ever heard of the “Sunday Scaries”? On Sunday nights, anticipating the busy week ahead at work and returning to the grind can bring about anxiety for some. It can even cause insomnia.
What about the “Senior Living Scaries”? If you’ve never heard of that, it’s an even bigger case of the willies and involves, you guessed it, moving into assisted living!
Find Peace of Mind at Edgewood
People often wait as long as possible because moving to assisted living is a big decision. Everyone is different, so while waiting is okay for some, it depends on how things are going at home. One fall or injury can change someone’s life, including where they can live the rest of their life.
Edgewood has created a pathway for seniors to try assisted living before making a full commitment. Our short-term stay option allows residents to see what assisted living is like before they sign a lease.
Short-Term Stays
Short-term stays allow residents to stay for a week, a month, or the winter season to get a better sense of what the community is like. Sometimes, seniors return later, and some choose to stay because they find assisted living very convenient.
It is important to have what you need and people around, especially during the cold, isolating winter season. Think of how the weather can delay a trip to the doctor, the grocery store, the post office, or other important places.
Assisted living at Edgewood provides everything you need and healthcare onsite, too. It not only allows you to have support with daily necessities, but it helps foster friendships.
