Independent Living Tips for Comparing Senior Living Communities
​How is Independent Living at Melody Living Different From Other Senior Retirement Communities?
One of the first thoughts you may have when considering moving into a senior living community is “But I don’t need help with anything, why would I move into a senior living community?” It’s a great question, because there are so many amazing reasons to consider moving in to a senior living community despite not needing assistance. 
​Melody Living’s new upcoming luxury senior independent living community in Lake in the Hills, Illinois is different from assisted living in so many ways. Independent living at Melody Living gives you all the freedoms you ever wanted but may not have had at home, while also providing you a robust community where you can truly thrive!

Fighting Senior Living Loneliness

2/24/2023

Fighting Senior Living Loneliness
National Letter to an Elder Day is February 26, a day encouraging people to take a few moments and write a letter to a senior member in the community to bring some joy to their day. The purpose of National Letter to an Elder Day is to help fight loneliness in senior communities.
 
The senior community has long suffered from an epidemic and it isn’t sickness or disease - it’s loneliness. Loneliness and isolation affects nearly half of the U.S. population over the age of 60. 

​A quarter of people over 65, on average, experienced social isolation before the pandemic. Since then, those numbers have grown immensely. Loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, mental health disorders including dementia, and premature mortality.
Many seniors do not receive consistent visits or communication from family members and friends outside of their senior living community or household. 

​Here at Melody senior living in Lake in the Hills, we do our best to create fun community activities and environments that promote healthy social connections with other residents and our staff.

​Weekly activities and outings, along with resident-led clubs, help to bring together residents and staff to decrease feelings of loneliness and isolation within our communities. 

​We all could use an extra pick-me-up sometimes though. Receiving a letter can boost spirits and bring some unexpected joy to a senior’s day, whether you know them or not.
