Idaho Falls Assisted Living

Benefits of a Senior Living Community

Health

Health declines as we age. There is no cure for aging, but there is a way to increase the quality and quantity of life in senior living. Living in an Idaho Falls senior living facility means that medications will be closely monitored. Medications are a way to extend life, and if taken correctly can reduce symptoms in the elderly. Our trained staff at the Gables of Idaho Falls will closely track which medications have been prescribed and how and when to give them.

Connection

Health is not just physical. Mental, emotional, and social health are just as important. Seniors become naturally more isolated as they age.

The following are just a few explanations for elderly isolation:

• Decreased driving ability
• Fear of falling
• Lack of transportation
• Friends and loved ones dying
• Fewer social opportunities
• Chronic pain

Being part of a senior living community has been shown to have positive effects on connection for seniors. The close living proximity allows socialization without any travel, coordinating times and activities, etc. In short, Idaho Falls senior living makes connecting with other seniors simple, safe, and serene. Having a grounded social life increases overall mental and emotional health.

Safety

The risk of falls in seniors is something that is of great concern to medical professionals, but it is also one of the scariest things for an elderly person. The seniors know that if they fall and get injured, they will likely be hospitalized and may never return home. A senior living community provides a safe, fall-resistant environment with staff to help with transferring, bathing, and other ADL’s that could jeopardize safety. Another safety element of assisted living is the locked facility with monitoring so that you and your loved ones have peace of mind.

Making the decision to move yourself or a loved one out of the home is a difficult one. We are confident that you will find everything you are looking for at the Gables of Idaho Falls. The amenities, staff, and suite options provide something for everyone to feel at home.

Making the move to assisted living does not mean memories end. Amenities make the transition feel more fun and natural. Many people find they are happier and have more opportunities to socialize in our facility. Some of our amenities include an outdoor patio with raised beds for gardening, a theater room with a pool and air hockey table, a large living room with a piano, and live entertainment. We also offer a dining room with a salad bar for lighter options and a private bus to shuttle residents. Our designated full-time activity staff make sure there is always something fun on the daily schedule.

Along with our designated activity staff, our care staff is well-trained, credentialed, and screened. Having staff that cares about residents like they do their own family is important so that family members can remain in their role and not have to take on the responsibility of caregiving. Let our staff take care of the medical side of care and set up facetime or window chats with loved ones. Because of COVID-19, we are limited on visitors, but our staff want to make sure you have every opportunity to stay in close contact with those you love. We know that as we work together our residents will thrive. We are not considered a nursing home but we offer many of the services that you would find at one, we are here to help our residents strive and be supported.

Part of thriving in our facility is choosing the suite that best fits your needs. We offer three room sizes. Each suite has its own kitchenette with a mini-fridge. Each unit also has its own controlled heating and air conditioning. A private bathroom with walk-in shower and safety rails ensures long-term independence and personal privacy. We encourage you to bring decorations to make your suite feel like home. We know that one size does not fit all. Call us today to discuss which suite would best fit your needs. Because each resident of the Gables of Idaho Falls is treated as an individual, we want your room choice to be individualized as well.
