In today's fast-paced digital age, technology has become an essential part of our daily lives. For seniors, navigating the world of gadgets and apps can be overwhelming. Luckily, there are many tools and resources available that can help seniors stay connected, independent, and entertained.

Wearables: Your Personal Health Assistant

Wearable devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, offer seniors a convenient way to monitor their health and stay connected. These devices can track steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, and even detect falls. Some smartwatches also allow you to make and receive calls, send texts, and access their favorite apps.

Smart Home Devices: Making Everyday Life Easier

Smart home devices can simplify daily tasks for seniors. Voice-activated assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home can help you set alarms, play music, and control lights and appliances. Smart thermostats can automatically adjust the temperature based on your preferences, while smart security systems can provide peace of mind by monitoring your home and alerting you of any suspicious activity.

Online Resources: Connect and Learn

The internet offers a wealth of resources for seniors. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram can help you connect with friends and family, while video conferencing apps like Zoom and Skype allow you to stay in touch with loved ones who live far away. Online learning platforms also offer a variety of courses, from cooking and gardening to language learning and computer skills.

Enrich Your Life with Assisted Living

Hear from some of our residents’ families here:

“Hillside Terrace is by far the best independent living, assisted living, and memory care in all of Washtenaw County. The staff is kind, building is spotless, and the leadership gets it. If you have not taken the time to research, visit, and talk with their team if your loved one is in need of a care, you are missing out. Highly recommend.”

Jeannie, Google Review

“Hillside Terrace is super unique in the sense that it is family owned which in turn makes you feel like you are a part of their family! My grandma fit right in and LOVES all the outings and activities! She wouldn’t have as much socialization if at home and has made some great friends!”

How Can You Support Your Loved One?

 

One of the most common challenges residents face is adapting to a new environment. To help your loved one cope:

• Encourage open communication: Create a safe space for them to express their feelings. Validate their emotions without judgment.
• Maintain familiar routines: As much as possible, incorporate familiar habits into their new daily life. This can provide a sense of continuity.
• Involve them in decision-making: Allowing them to choose activities, meals, or room decor can empower them and make them feel more in control.   
• Gradually introduce new people and activities: Overwhelming them with social interactions or unfamiliar experiences can be stressful. Progress at their pace.

How Hillside Terrace Fosters a Safe and Inclusive Community

Do you have concerns about finding a senior living community with the right environment for your loved one?

At our senior living home, we cherish and celebrate the diversity of our residents, fostering a safe and inclusive community where LGBTQ elders can thrive with pride and dignity. 

Aging is a natural and beautiful part of life, a journey marked by wisdom, experiences, and resilience. For LGBTQ elders, this journey can come with unique challenges stemming from a lifetime of navigating social stigmas, discrimination, and invisibility. According to studies, LGBTQ older adults are more likely to live alone, face financial insecurities, and lack family support. 

With all these challenges in mind, we’re committed to creating an environment where every resident feels values, respected, and embraced for who they are. 

How Hillside Terrace Fosters a Safe and Inclusive Community 

Cultivating Respect and Acceptance: We believe that creating a culture of respect begins with education and training for our staff. We train our staff to care for everyone who lives at our retirement community. It’s important to understand how LGBTQ elders feel the way they feel and how we can make sure they’re comfortable. 

Supportive Services: LQBTQ elders may have specific needs related to healthcare, mental health, or social support. We offer access to a team of professionals to help our residents find comfort and help with personalized care and treatment. 

Safe Spaces: Our residents have access to hobbies and activities to help combat feelings of loneliness and boredom. These safe spaces encourage supportive relationships where they can gather, socialize, and express themselves without fear of judgement or discrimination. 

Find LGBTQ Friendly Living in Ann Arbor at Hillside Terrace 

As we celebrate pride in aging, we reaffirm our commitment to creating warm, welcoming, and LGBTQ friendly senior living in Ann Arbor where all our residents have the opportunity to age with dignity, pride, and joy. 

Every resident’s story is cherished, every identity honored, and every journey celebrated in our vibrant community of love and acceptance.
