2. Reduced Risk of Injury
Older people usually struggle with a long list of injuries from which they suffer flare-ups or are recovering. That’s a natural result of being an active adult—your body isn’t what it used to be, and having an active life can have some negative effects in later years.
When retirees continue to live in their family houses, usually in buildings without elder-friendly features, they are at risk of worsening their injuries. The steps are too high, or things are too heavy. When they are on their own, they’re at risk of tripping, falling, or otherwise injuring themselves.
But at a skilled nursing facility, everything is designed with older residents in mind, and a team of skilled nurses is there to assist. They are able to help seniors as needed and look out for them. This significantly reduces the odds of injuries for your elderly loved ones.
