As we age, it’s natural to start thinking about maintaining our quality of life. For older adults, assisted living is an option that can help them live independently while still receiving the necessary support and care they need. Gig Harbor Court’s assisted living program is a leading provider of senior living across the Narrows from Pierce County.
Everything our team does makes life simpler for older adults. Welcome to Pacific Northwest senior living, which feels like home!
What is Assisted Living for Older Adults?
Assisted living is a type of senior living that provides a range of services to help older adults live independently while receiving assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Medication management
- Mobility
The goal of assisted living is to provide a comfortable environment for seniors while offering them the necessary support to maintain their independence.
At Gig Harbor Court, assisted living seniors can enjoy a range of amenities such as:
- Transportation services
- Housekeeping
- Meal preparation
- Fine dining
- Recreational activities
These services are designed to simplify seniors’ lives by removing the burden of daily tasks and allowing them to focus on their health and well-being.
What is the Difference Between a Retirement Home and Assisted Living?
Retirement homes and assisted living communities are often confused but have significant differences. Retirement homes and independent living communities are primarily designed for older adults who are still active but want to downsize their living space and simplify their lives.
Retirement homes typically offer minimal assistance with ADLs and medical care. However, they do provide services like:
- Transportation service
- Exercise classes
- Social and recreational activities
Assisted living communities like Gig Harbor Court provide a higher level of care for seniors who need help with daily activities. These communities typically offer more extensive medical care, medication assistance, and 24-hour support from trained team members.
Senior assisted living also offers a range of services and amenities designed to make seniors’ lives simpler. Meals are always provided for assisted living residents. Independent living facilities or retirement homes often provide meal service packages for an additional fee.
At Gig Harbor Court, seniors enjoy restaurant-style dining made with fresh Pierce County ingredients.
Assisted Living Made Simple
Senior living is the ultimate escape from life’s challenges. Let’s face it, life can be a hassle, especially with age. Bills, chores, and responsibilities can pile up and leave seniors feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Moving to assisted living releases those pesky hassles of life. Say goodbye to mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, or even worrying about having someone else do it. Those chores are a thing of the past. Cooking every meal or doing the dishes is no longer your responsibility. Our chefs and housekeeping staff have got you covered.
You don’t have to worry about paying piles of bills or dealing with maintenance issues anymore. We take care of all that for you, so you can spend your time doing what you love. Want to sit in the lounge and read a book or join a fitness class? Go ahead. It’s all included in your senior living package.
The best part of this new chapter is the company of other like-minded seniors. Assisted living communities like ours are buzzing with activities and social events, allowing you to make new friends and explore new interests.
Say goodbye to the hassles of life and hello to senior living! We promise you won’t regret it.
“Gig Harbor Court has incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. With papa at his previous location, it was too big. Staff turnover was super high, so no one knew you, or you didn’t know them. Increasingly it felt like they didn’t have time for you or their residents. This is not so at Gig Harbor Court. Staff stops to talk with you and see how you’re doing (even though I’m sure they’re busy too). The food at Gig Harbor Court is really good, and activities keep the residents entertained. I highly recommend Gig Harbor Court and hope it always stays “boutique style” because that’s what truly makes it feel like a home and not an institution.”
