Considering a move into an assisted living or memory care senior living community for an older loved one is major decision. Seniors and their families might experience feelings of apprehension, doubt, and uncertainty at what life in a senior living community is like. You might even have some preconceived notions about what life is like in a senior living community.
You can rest assured that senior living communities like Allegro Senior Living are designed to provide residents with a luxurious, service-rich, and comfortable lifestyle.
To give you a realistic understanding of life in assisted living and memory care senior living communities, Let’s look at how residents spend their day.
Mornings
Whether your loved one prefers a leisurely morning catching up on beauty sleep or they’re an early riser who likes to get the day started, the choice is theirs.
If needed, a caring team member is there to help assisted living and memory care residents with personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, or eating.
Residents can work up a sweat in a state-of-the-art fitness center or in an exercise class like yoga or aquatic fitness. Then, they can relax with a quick shower before heading to the dining room for coffee and a fresh, healthy breakfast with friends.
Afternoons
Afternoons in assisted living and memory care senior living communities are full of activities designed to encourage an active, independent lifestyle for their residents. Many communities have a full-time Lifestyle Director responsible for coordinating residents' social opportunities and activities.

Some residents prefer to enjoy their afternoons by having lunch with other residents, playing with their dog in the dog park, or lounging by the pool.
Later in the afternoon, residents can recharge with a long nap, then have a cocktail before dinner.
Evenings
Evening begins with a delicious chef-prepared meal in a restaurant-style dining room. After dinner, residents can meet and mingle with friends over drinks, catch a movie in the onsite theater, or enjoy local entertainment.
Weekends
In senior living communities, residents can say goodbye to weekend chores like grocery shopping, home repairs, yard work, laundry, and housekeeping. Senior living communities provide all of that and more for their residents.
Residents can enjoy their weekends relaxing by the pool, getting a haircut, manicure or pedicure in the onsite salon, visiting with family, or traveling to nearby attractions.
Wrap-up
Senior living residents spend their days engaging in a variety of activities depending on their interests. Socializing, exercising, hobbies, reading, volunteering, and relaxation are all daily possibilities for residents in senior living communities.
Assisted living and memory senior living communities create a safe and comfortable lifestyle that helps seniors stay active, engaged, independent, and fulfilled.
