The holiday season is a great time to share the joys of togetherness and tradition. But for families whose aging loved ones are showing signs of decline, the holidays can feel stressful or disappointing.
If you notice that your loved one seems more overwhelmed than overjoyed as the season unfolds, it may be the right time to transition to a senior living community. Here are our top five reasons why the holidays are the best time to move your loved one…
1. Beating the Holiday Rush
We all know the feeling of that holiday rush! Moving your loved one to senior living before peak holiday season ensures a smoother transition process. You can avoid logistical challenges, secure preferred accommodations, and settle in comfortably on your own timeline. This proactive approach allows the whole family to savor the holidays without the stress of a last-minute move.
2. Uncompromising Care for Your Loved One & Peace of Mind for You
Let your heart be light this holiday season as we take care of your loved one – so you can enjoy quality time together, worry-free. Our Promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own. A spirit of collaboration is fundamental part of the Kensington experience, along with deep respect for the unique needs and preferences of residents and their families. We integrate kindness, respect, and companionship into a comprehensive spectrum of clinical support. With assisted living and three levels of memory care, we accommodate seniors who are single or coupled up, who need light assistance or complex medical care, and who have memories who are sharp as a tack or fading with time.
3. New Friendships & Heartfelt Connections
There’s no time like the holidays to open your heart to new friends and joyful moments. Whether a place under our roof, at our table, or in our hearts, we have room! We are a family of families whose lives are more full and happy because we have each other. Here, we infuse our communities with shared smiles and hugs, memories, and challenges and triumphs. Bring us your traditions and memories – we’ll honor them. Share your hopes and dreams – we’ll help realize them.
4. Festive Fun & Delicious Dining
We’re a team of merry makers at Kensington Place! The holidays are our favorite time of the year, and we go all out to celebrate our favorite traditions. We start by decorating our beautiful community with stunning décor from bright lights and jingle bells to garland and mistletoe. Our fun-for-the-whole-family holiday parties are not to be missed, with live music, gift-giving and of course, a delicious array of holiday dishes, specialty cocktails and mocktails, and sweet treats homemade with love by our Executive Chef Tony. Grandchildren are always welcome and encouraged to join us. Plus, our families and guests can enjoy complimentary meals with their loved ones, so please come by!
5. Escaping Unpredictable Weather
Sleet, rain and snow, oh my! No need to worry about any of that with your loved one living in a senior living community. Our Environmental Services team prides themselves on safety first, whether that be plowing snow overnight, fine-tuning our heating systems or ensuring our generators are ready to go in case of any emergency that comes our way. We’ll remove any and all weather-related obstacles so you can make the most of your time together!
