It’s never too early to start thinking about your long-term game plan. There are more than 30,000 assisted living communities in the U.S. with Palm Beach Gardens being one of the highest-rated communities in Florida.

Florida itself is a top destination for retirees and seniors. According to recent data from AARP, the state is still at the top of the list for ages 65 and up.

If you (or a loved one) are beginning to require more assistance in personal care, then an assisted living community in Palm Beach Gardens would be an ideal fit for your growing needs.

In this guide, learn more about the benefits and features of Palm Beach senior residences.

Discover Independence Again

Independence is one of the most important things to retain as you grow older. Difficulty with everyday chores noticeably limits independence which leads to issues with senior depression.

Are you struggling to keep up with one or more of the following tasks?

Weekly laundry
Personal care (i.e., hygiene, skin care, and grooming)
Glucose and insulin regulation
Incontinence problems
Managing medications and vitamins

If the above issues sound familiar, now is the right time to look into senior living in Palm Beach Gardens.

You can even plan years in advance before the above needs arise. Many individuals in their 40s, 50s, and even 30s, are starting to plan their long-term care.

Start Socializing Again

Socialization is also crucial for a longer, healthier senior life. Assisted living communities keep full activity calendars to keep residents occupied.

For example, Palm Beach Gardens offers fulfilling activities and events through its Celebrations Activities & Events program.

Activities are held daily, ranging from light exercise to bingo nights. Both introverted and extroverted personality types can find their niche. There are also meet-and-greet events to help residents get to know each other after they’ve settled into a retirement community in Palm Beach Gardens.

An overview of events (and activities) include:

Book clubs
Light exercise (walking, aerobics, aquatic, and stretching)
Cooking classes
Game Nights
Comedy and movie nights
Trivia
Happy hours
Shopping days

There are even flower clubs for residents with green thumbs. Daily fresh air and light outdoor activities are proven to uplift seniors’ moods. Morning walks are also scheduled to help residents start the day off strong.

Residents also enjoy socializing over glasses of lemonade on the community patio. Ice cream socials are also planned to help seniors get to know each other; these activities are especially delightful on hot summer days.

Outings outside of the community are also offered. Simply check the activities calendar for weekly lunch outings.

Creative residents also enjoy arts and crafts sessions where they can paint, draw, and sculpt. Music hours are also offered, including talks and live entertainment from local musicians.

Food For Thought

A reliable, healthy, and delicious meal service is paramount to every assisted living community. That’s why Palm Beach Gardens has a Sensations Dining program that ensures residents receive balanced daily meals. Seniors also have kitchenettes (with refrigerators) inside their apartments.

Sensations Dining meals are prepared by real chefs. Residents enjoy their food in a dining hall where they receive attentive tableside service. Meals are served three times a day; brunches are also offered through the Celebrations Activities & Events calendar.

Sensations chefs cater to all dietary needs, including gluten-free, low cholesterol, food allergies, and more restrictions.

This meal service is ideal for seniors ready to put down their grocery shopping lists and enjoy catered dining daily. However, residents who still enjoy cooking in their kitchenettes may schedule transportation for grocery shopping; the activities calendar also schedules weekly shopping trips.

Visiting family members may also dine in the dining hall with senior loved ones. Families are encouraged to visit and bring care packages. It’s the perfect time to put that kitchenette to good use for baking a birthday cake or preparing a favorite family recipe.

Reliable Maintenance

One of the perks of living in an assisted living community is consistent housekeeping. This service is great for residents who find these daily and weekly chores more time-consuming.

Residents don’t have to worry about the following tasks:

Taking out the garbage
Bathroom and kitchen cleaning
Vacuuming and sweeping
Making the bed (laundering fresh linens)
Sanitation and disinfecting

These tasks are handled by the Impressions Housekeeping & Maintenance team. Cleaning professionals also manage the community’s weekly laundry service.

Navigating the Assisted Living Community In Palm Beach Gardens

Residents also receive help with other important tasks like booking plane fights, purchasing event tickets, and finding information online.

Do you want to send flowers or food baskets to a loved one for their birthday?

A member of the Expressions Concierge team can handle that for you. Tell them what you’re looking for, and they’ll locate the right service and product. This is a great option for residents with relatives out of state.

The concierge team can also book appointments outside of the community.

These senior care services in Palm Beach Gardens are perfect for residents who must schedule consistent doctor’s appointments. Residents are also welcome to use the concierge service to book appointments, classes, or events outside the activity calendar.

The Expressions Concierge team works collaboratively with the Connections Transportation program to ensure residents safely arrive at their destinations. This program is great for airport transportation, restaurant dinners, shopping excursions, doctor’s appointments, and more outings.

These programs also give family members the peace of mind that their senior loved ones are cared for daily.

Family members are encouraged to visit the community to observe these programs before moving their loved ones to the community.

The concierge service can even help with scheduling professional movers.

There are eight different floor plans available at Palm Beach Gardens. Check beforehand for availability and tours. Square footage ranges from 518 sq. ft to 1,052 sq. ft.
