Concierge services are incredibly unique services that most people do not fully understand. Simply put, concierge services arrange any aspect of your life that you want, allowing you to effectively manage your time on the things which you value more. From booking restaurants or planning medical appointments, to simple tasks affecting your daily life such as finding a cleaner or a personal trainer, many are actually turning to concierge services to manage their tasks for them. With retirement being meant to be as relaxing and stress-free as possible, here are a few ways on how concierge services in retirement communities can help you get that peace of mind you deserve!
Services
Independent living communities are excellent for retirees who want to remain physically, mentally, and socially active, and when these communities strive to create an environment to facilitate such a lifestyle, it becomes increasingly apparent that concierge services are actually needed to meet the various needs of the residents. Concierge services in these communities work similarly to hotel concierge services, whereby the individual needs of the residents are prioritized round the clock with a wide range of services being provided. These services are often categorized into a few distinct categories, companion care, shuttle services, culinary services, home accommodation services, and compassion care.
Companion care
Companion care refers to meeting the individualized needs of each resident, and varies based on their respective needs. From medication reminders to personalized hospitality, wake-up calls, tuck-in services, and hosting for friends and family, there are many facets of companion care that can be provided by concierge services to better improve the quality of life for the residents!
Shuttle Services
Transport can be an issue as we get older, as we lose the physical mobility to walk to faraway locations and lose the motor skills and mental acuity required to be safe on the road. Shuttle services provided would help greatly, allowing residents to complete their grocery shopping, reach their medical appointments, complete their errands, and participate in activities outside without having to deal with the stressors of transport.
Culinary Services
Eating good food is one of the greatest joys in life, and hence enjoying fresh and delicious food would go a long way in improving the quality of life in these senior living communities. However, with the various difficulties in dietary restrictions and the physical difficulty of cooking and meal preparation, cooking can be increasingly difficult as we age and hence culinary services would be incredibly useful in these communities. From meal preparation to kitchen cleanup, shopping lists, and overseeing food inventory, culinary services will go a long way in improving the quality of food enjoyed in these communities!
Home Accommodation
Maintaining our living spaces can be increasingly strenuous for us as we grow older, so home accommodation services allow fyou to relax, enjoy, and focus on yourself while these strenuous tasks are handled by the concierge services. From light housekeeping to home maintenance and laundry duties just to name a few, there is plenty of upside to engaging with home accommodations services in your senior living community.
Compassion Care
From assisting with grooming to preparing bathing areas and overseeing general hygiene, these services are incredibly important as we lose the ability to maintain our own hygiene, and thus compassion care remains to be incredibly useful for residents in senior living communities.
