Understanding Senior Living: What Level is Right for You?

Posted By on December 15, 2021

There are many different levels of senior living available today. As a result, it can be confusing and overwhelming as you try to figure out which type is best for you. The Pavilion Senior Living wants to help you answer this question!

Our senior living communities in Tennessee and West Virginia offer several levels of care, so we are experts in knowing how each level can help enhance a person’s desired lifestyle. We want to help guide you through this decision by explaining the different levels of senior living.

Finding the Right Level of Support

Consider Your Needs

When determining which level of senior living is right for you, you have to think about your needs and what type of senior living can meet them.

For instance, do you need (or would you benefit from) assistance with the activities of daily living? Activities such as dressing, bathing, and navigating your home are essential parts of everyday life. If you would benefit from assistance in these areas or are aware of any other needs you may have, that will help determine which level of senior living is right for you.

Take Note of Your Preferences

What type of lifestyle are you looking to lead? The idea of retirement living looks different for everyone. While some individuals are ready to relax and settle down, others look to stay as active as possible and embark on new and exciting adventures. Of course, both are valid options, but it is important to consider what you want when deciding which level of senior living is right for you.
