New Year’s Resolutions for Senior Living Residents

Is your loved one new to Hillside Terrace?

Is your parent a bit shy when it comes to participating in community events?

 

Is your loved one a bit of a loner when it comes to interacting with new people?

 

A new year, new you! Here are some ways to help you embrace change as the new kid at Hillside Terrace:

 

1.     Embrace new things – Encourage your loved one to try new hobbies and activities. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize throughout the day at Hillside Terrace. You might be surprised to discover a new hobby or friend for life.

2.     Foster new relationships – Remind your loved one that other residents are probably just as reluctant to join activities. Encourage your loved one to say “Hi” and introduce themselves to people when they have an activity.

3.     Find a workout buddy – From walking trips to daily exercise, Hillside Terrace has a combination of activities to keep your loved one active.

 

We always have fun activities going on daily for our residents, including Casino outings, trips to the Ann Arbor library and more! It’s a good idea to accompany your loved one on some activities that are of interest to them until they feel comfortable.

“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.”

“The staff are very attentive and compassionate. My mother feels very safe and well-cared for. The facilities aren't fancy but compassionate care wins out over glitter. They have done an incredible job of keeping the residents and staff safe through the pandemic. Now everyone is vaccinated!”

Stay Active at Hillside Terrace Senior Living

“My mom lived here for 16 months with rapidly advancing dementia. I visited her nearly every day and had the opportunity to meet many staff and observe their interactions with my mom. Due to her disease she could become very difficult and the staff was always so kind and patient with her. She would light up when the aides and nurses came into the room! The Hillside motto of their family sharing life with your family is true. I was so grateful for the love and compassion showed to my mom, as well as to me and my family. I was confident that I could be away and know that mom was getting excellent care and attention. That was truly peace of mind for me after having cared for her myself for as long as I could. I am grateful to Hillside for keeping my mom as comfortable as possible at the end of her life. I highly recommend Hillside Terrace for assisted living and memory care.”
