From reducing loneliness to providing the companionship they have been missing, having a special friend close by is a great benefit of companion living at The Arbors.

Why you might consider companion living:

Companionship — It’s easy for loneliness to set in for the senior who has spent their entire lives with their spouse. Lack of socialization can contribute to isolation and even depression. The daily presence of a companion can drastically reduce the feeling of isolation and/or loneliness.
Ease Transition into the Community – Having a companion encourages more regular socialization. Having a friend can help ease the way into participating in activities. Your companion can help you navigate the community’s unique culture. It’s easier to make new friends together.
A Sense of Security – Because they see each other every day, companions can be the first to notice changes that occur in the health or ability of a senior. Are they sleeping more? Do they seem more confused than yesterday? Are they missing meals? Although not expected, letting the staff know of any observations regarding the well-being of their companion can be helpful.
Longer Life Expectations – Various social scientific studies confirm that social relationships not only enhance our quality of life, but actually extend our life expectancy. Creating a source of constant companionship can enhance mental and emotional stimulation and in turn help with overall health and longevity.
Cost Savings — Of course from a cost perspective, the decreased monthly rent on accommodations saves on assisted living costs.

We are social creatures and even if you have the resources to afford your own space, sharing a room can come with a number of benefits to consider. The Arbors residents are matched through a common background or interest that can serve as a foundation for friendship.

Diane

“The life of a caregiver is truly very difficult, and with no training, I’m just a daughter, I made it work, but it got to be too much. It was a very difficult decision to have my mom move here. The folks here made my transition very easy, very helpful, very friendly, the staff is great. It was just a real comfort to me when I left. I felt that my mom was in really good hands. I have such peace of mind knowing that my mom is being well taken care of at The Arbors.”

Joan

“Living at The Arbors has changed my life completely. I am in a new world. When I started to fall last year, and had to be rushed to the hospital, I was scared. I didn’t want to leave my home. But I’ve made a lot of friends here. It’s a big family. Arbors makes it very comfortable for me. The staff are great, they would take you to the moon if they could. I say my prayers every night and thank God for finding this place for me.”

Elaine

“I love my apartment at The Arbors. It’s just enough space for me to relax. I spend my days socializing with my new friends in the shared spaces, so my home actually got bigger, not smaller.”

Helen

“Make new friends, but keep the old. Some are silver and some are gold…Over eight years, I’ve made a lot of friends, new ones, old ones, and I’ve enjoyed all of them immensely. I guess coming into a place like this, you wonder who’s going to be a friend, but then you find so many friends, whether they’re residents or staff. My favorite part about The Arbors is the people that I’ve met, they take good care of me.”

Providing an all-inclusive nurturing, supportive, and active environment that fosters independence yet offers assistance when needed.
