Catholic assisted living facilities help seniors reach deeper into their faith with various educational programs that dig deeply into the Bible and offer guidance and strategies that help individuals derive more from their faith.

While much else in a Catholic assisted living facility will be common to all good care facilities, these activities will leave no doubt as to the true importance given to faith.

Separation anxiety among seniors that are new to any assisted living facility isn’t all that unusual.

Every senior entering an assisted living facility needs to measure of direct assistance with personal care. It could be due to nothing more than the normal aches and pains that come with aging, or it could be the result of illnesses and injuries that have impaired their ability to do what used to be normal and easy. These same seniors may also crave the comfort of a community that counters the boredom of living alone. Catholic assisted living facilities answer these needs and more but it all start with the basics.

The basics are simple. Staff does all of the housekeeping and maintenance so seniors no longer need to worry about dusting, vacuuming and washing up or making repairs. Seniors then get to enjoy 3 great meals a day, that are well prepared, well presented, delicious and healthy. Senior residents of assisted living facilities enjoy snacks throughout the day as well because everyone needs a little something in between that help keep energy level up. Then, and this is where the rubber really hits the road, seniors get direct assistance with things like bathing, grooming, dressing, and using the toilet, while also enjoying a helping hand getting up and around the center as the activities of each day unfold.

There will be games, movies, social events, and more that also help keep things upbeat and interesting. Whether Catholic of not, life in an assisted living facility is never boring.
