Woodstone Senior Living vs. Woodstone Active Living. What exactly are they, and what is the difference? Woodstone Senior Living is an assisted living, which provides personal care and support with daily tasks. Woodstone Active Living is an independent living community designed for active seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle.
Why would you, or a loved one, choose Woodstone Active Living?
For the robust social life and activities, of course! People with strong social connections live significantly longer than those who are isolated or lonely. The most important health benefits of social connection include:
- Lower Mortality Risk: People with robust social ties face a much lower risk of premature death.
- Cellular Protection: Strong social advantages over a lifetime can slow biological aging and reduce chronic inflammation.
- Better Heart Health: Isolation increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Stronger Minds: Meaningful engagement cuts the risk of cognitive decline and dementia by up to 50%.
Woodstone Active Living offers a full calendar of events sure to fill your social bucket! From card clubs, book clubs, bingo, and crafts to happy hour, fitness classes, and bus trips all over the state of Minnesota, our tenants stay busy!
Why would you, or a loved one, chose Woodstone Senior Living?
For all the same reasons listed above, but also to get help with daily tasks while remaining as independent as possible. Our residents receive help with:
- Personal care, like bathing, dressing, grooming and using the bathroom.
- Medication management, ensuring residents take the right pills at the right time.
- Nutritional meals and housekeeping—because aren’t we all sick of cleaning?
- Social connection and activities
One of the most reassuring aspects of assisted living is our 24-hour care provider support staff. None of us like to think about falling, but falling alone at home can be scarier than the fall itself. At Woodstone Senior Living, staff check on residents 24 hours a day. Residents also have a call button they can push at any time to get help.
Woodstone Senior Living distinguishes itself from other assisted living communities because we allow our residents to age in place. Our residents can truly make Woodstone their home, and as time passes and their needs change, we can meet their needs right where they are.
Most of us want to live independently for as long as possible. However, when the time comes that you need more assistance, Woodstone Senior Living is an excellent choice. Herb, pictured here, has this to say about why he loves living at Woodstone: “I like living here because the people who work here are all wonderful workers that take the people into consideration with everything they do.” If you know Herb, you know that his infectious laugh was sprinkled throughout our conversation. Herb was very excited that we are using using his quote and cannot wait to get a copy of the article!
There are so many factors to consider when choosing these next steps of active, independent living or assisted living. The best thing you can do is start researching your options early so you can make the best choice for you or your loved one!
