It’s no secret that senior living comes with its own set of stereotypes. The idea of vacant rooms, flashing call lights, and loved ones left to their own devices is enough to make anyone skeptical – but at Trilogy, we’ve built our communities to replace these stigmas with stories of vibrant common areas, accommodating staff members, and active lifestyles that make senior living a decision that both you and your loved one can feel confident about. Here’s how.
The myth: My loved one will lose their independence. The fearthat you or your loved one will have to give up hobbies, routines, and personal freedoms just to receive basic care.
The reality: Your loved one will be empowered. Not only do we offer Independent Living options for fully self-sufficient residents, but we also provide opportunities for physical activity, social interaction, and creative expression seven days a week. Pick up a paintbrush with an Artisans course. Stretch your legs with one of our yoga classes. And once it’s time to wind down, meet family and friends in the dining room for one of our elaborate themed dinners. It’s up to you how you want to spend your time – even if that means just relaxing in your apartment with a cup of coffee and your favorite Netflix show.
The myth: My loved one will be lonely. A common misconception that your loved one will be disconnected and isolated.
The reality: Your loved one will be surrounded by more friends than ever before.
Community is at the heart of everything that we do. A key part of Trilogy culture is that we take what we do seriously – but never ourselves. That means staff members will be ready to assist you at a moment’s notice – but they might do it while wearing a ridiculous theme week costume. In our Memory Care neighborhoods, each resident is provided with best friends that know every part of their life story, and use that information to provide the best care possible. Finally, we offer trips both into town and abroad that help residents connect with some of their favorite next-door neighbors.
The myth: My loved one will live in a cold, sterile environment. The idea that a senior living environment resembles that of a run-down nursing home or hospital – dark and uninviting.
The reality: Your loved one will be treated to a lifestyle of luxury.
One of the common things we hear when kids or grandkids come to tour is “Wait a minute – I want to live here!” That’s because we’ve designed each of our communities to rival the looks of upscale apartments and hotels – complete with bright bistros, upscale dining rooms, and common areas that can accommodate any family or community night. Additionally, resident suites & apartments can be fully personalized to match your loved one’s vibe and style – with unique safety features built in with their comfort in mind.
The myth: Senior living is too expensive. The concern that high-quality care is unaffordable and unrealistic in today’s economy.
The reality: Senior living can be more affordable than acting as a family caregiver. Between medical supplies, emergency expenses, home modifications, and caregiver salaries, the combined costs of caring for a loved one on your own easily add up. Trilogy takes care of all of these concerns under one price – while also offering pricing options and financial assistance that makes senior living accessible no matter what your financial situation is.
In conclusion – we understand the anxiety that comes with the search for senior living. Anyone who has ever had to consider care for a loved one has felt it – because they know that they deserve nothing less than the very best. At Trilogy, we’re committed to giving them that very best – and replacing that anxiety with some of the best years they’ve ever had.
