Comfortable Highland Area Senior Assisted Living Facilities
Many families look at the large picture of the entire senior community, which is of course important. However, equal attention should be paid to the individual residences in which seniors will live. The floor plans, amenities, and location of these residences will impact the resident’s everyday lives.
For example, seniors with pets will want to find a residence that allows animals. In fact, even if a senior does not have a pet, this might still be a policy to consider for the future. There are many benefits of pets for seniors, which is why our residences at Sholom are pet-friendly.
Staff Qualifications at Our Highland Area Senior Housing Centers
In our Highland area senior living communities, residents will likely interact with the staff quite a bit. Staff must be well-trained, with key qualifications. Families and seniors should inquire about staff training and certifications, including if and when medications can be administered by staff.
Our team will also be compassionate and understanding of the unique needs of seniors. As seniors rely on their community staff, staff should respond with a genuine desire to help. Our multilingual staff are dedicated to the health, safety, and overall well-being of our residents.
When choosing a Highland area retirement community or assisted living facility it is also important to ask about the staff to resident ratio. This is particularly important for residents who will rely on staff for care and safety. The number of staff members should be sufficient to provide the right level of care.
Activities and Mealtimes at our Highland Area 55+ Senior Living Communities
Unfortunately, seniors often face isolation and loneliness, but our Highland area 55 and over senior living community has built-in activities and shared mealtimes that can ensure their quality of life is maintained. Seniors should have access to programs and activities that meet their physical, spiritual, and social needs.
Sholom’s community is warm, inviting, and social. Residents enjoy features that include family and group spaces, outdoor areas, on-site fitness centers and salons/barbershops, and many activities, classes, and events.

In some of our Highland area senior living facilities, there are on-site delis, therapy pools, and even outdoor rooftop patios. Mealtimes, and food itself, are also key. Seniors should be happy with the food provided through their facility. After all, nobody wants to be stuck eating things that they would not choose for themselves.
