AT R I A S E N I O R L I V I N G

Atria Senior Living is a wonderful place to live! I have complete freedom to choose whatever I want to do every day – I can even sleep in if I want to. My apartment is cleaned for me, and I don’t have to do grocery shopping, cooking or dishes. Instead, I get to choose whatever I want to eat from a great menu.

I have lovely friends to play cards with, and I can sign up for outside activities that I enjoy. We even go out for dinner once a week – and I don’t have to drive. I love it here! I can’t think of any place I’d rather be than here at Atria.

People often question when they should know if its time for mom or dad to move to Assisted Living.

The answer is simple. You just have to weigh out the factors of Surviving vs. Thriving….

How many hours a day is mom surviving? Is she struggling to make it out of bed in the morning? Is mom having a hard time getting around the house without falling? How much time is spent in front of the television? Are daily house chores stacking up? Are her meals made in the microwave? Is mom depressed due to aging? Is mom isolated and alone?

Now ask yourself how many hours in the day is she thriving? Is she getting the social interaction she needs with people her age? Does she still do the things she enjoys? Is mom able to bathe herself safely? Is mom eating nutritiously? Can she safely make it to her doctor’s appointments on time? Is her living environment safe? Are her loved ones free from worry?

Many seniors living at home may find themselves surviving more that thriving. Assisted Living communitiesare designed to lessen the time surviving so that seniors start thriving. These communities act as a tool to balance out these factors. Assisted Living communities empower individuals to gain their independence back without risking their safety and happiness.

Call today to schedule a tour of our community.

Surviving Vs. Thriving

“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been bugging me, my book group made fun of me, and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I wasstuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store,I almost changed my mind. The phones are so small I can’t see the numbers, much less push the right one.They all have cameras, computers and a “global-positioning” something or other that’s supposed to spot mefrom space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’tmuch help. They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp. Andthe rate plans! They were complicated, confusing, and expensive… and the contract lasted for two years! I’d almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being able to stay in touch… with a phone I can actually use.”

The cell phone that’s right for me. Sometimes I think the people who designedthis phone and the rate plans had me in mind. The phone fits easily in my pocket,but it flips open and reaches from my mouth to my ear. The display is large and backlit, so I can actually see who is calling. With a push of a button I canamplify the volume, and if I don’t know a number, I can simply push one for afriendly, helpful operator that will look it up and even dial it for me. The Jitterbug also reduces background noise, making the sound loud and clear. There’seven a dial tone, so I know the phone is ready to use.Affordable plans that I can understand – and no contract to sign! Unlike othercell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I’mnever going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won’t find myself with nominutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract tosign – so I’m not locked in for years at a time or subject to termination fees. TheU.S. – based customer service is second to none, and the phone gets service virtually anywhere in the country.

Call now and get a FREE GIFT. Try Jitterbug for 30 days and if you don't love it, just return it. Why wait,the Jitterbug comes ready to use right out of the box. The phone comes preprogrammed with your favoritenumbers, and if you aren’t as happy with it as I am you can return it for a refund of the purchase price. Call now, the Jitterbug product experts are ready to answer your questions.
