Companion Living Does More Than Save on Rent

For retired seniors, living on a fixed income poses difficult challenges as the cost of goods continues to rise in the U.S. The expense of maintaining a home, transportation, and household goods may seem almost unmanageable on one’s own. Many seniors that are looking to offset this cost of living may opt for roommates or to have a close friend move in. While there is certainly an economical advantage to splitting rent with a roommate, here are some benefits to companions living in retirement communities.

Companionship living within retirement communities certainly relaxes the financial burden on individuals and their families. Retirement homes in Glendale, Arizona, such as MorningStar at Arrowhead, have floorplans ranging from studios to two-bedroom suites that are perfect for roommate situations. MorningStar will also carefully pair you up with another senior who shares your interests and values if you do not have a prospective roommate in mind. Companionship living within retirement communities eases the transition of moving to senior living and helps one feel less alone while embarking on a new journey in life.

The presence of a roommate can encourage more confident socialization, boost energy, increase appetite, and improve sleep. Having another person in a shared home gives reassurance to family members as well. In the case of falling or needing urgent medical care, a roommate is available to help if the situation arises. Their presence also offers some security in the event your loved one has any problems bathing, preparing meals, or keeping up with routine chores. Having another person we can trust makes independent living easygoing by eliminating some of the hazards that come with living alone.
