With a population of a little over 7,900 people, Inverness, FL, has big-city charm without the overcrowding. A large portion of the people here are seniors, making connections and social engagement even more attractive.

What other reasons are there to choose a senior living community in Inverness?

Highland Place is here to show you everything we have to offer, and why these things are so important to your mental and physical wellbeing. Keep reading to learn how to find greater happiness with our senior community!

Enhanced Safety

Before you begin searching for top senior amenities in Inverness, you need to make certain your safety concerns are met. Questions to ask before choosing any senior community include:

  • Are the staff available 24 hours a day?
  • Does the community work to give you independence?
  • Will it be easy to get to your doctor's appointments?
  • Will your family achieve peace of mind?

If any of these questions feel uncertain, it's best to look for another community option.

At Highland Place, we offer these services and more. We work with you to come up with a personalized assistance plan that keeps you safe without making you feel powerless or overwhelmed. It's never a good idea to choose a community that doesn't work hard towards this important goal.

Easy Social Interactions

One of the biggest senior living benefits is the fact that you join a thriving community. You'll have many opportunities and ways to interact with other residents.

Even if you feel nervous about making connections, Highland Place's community activities will make you excited to try. You'll have the backdrop of a fun movie night or bingo game to ease your way toward new friendships.

Plus, we have regular outings and events where residents can feel comfortable joining. Even if bingo isn't your thing, there's bound to be something available that'll get you interacting and enjoying yourself in no time.

Healthier Living Space

Before your new Inverness senior care community can feel like home, you need to ensure a certain quality of living. These health and comfort issues include:

  • Cleanliness
  • Maintenance
  • Laundry
  • Personal care

Without each of these vital needs being met, it's impossible to relax fully within your community. The problem is that it's often difficult to complete these tasks by yourself.

Even if the residence is stunning, you can't enjoy it if you're not getting the right care.

Highland Place knows the importance of your mental and physical well-being. We offer weekly housekeeping services and perform regular maintenance. If you need assistance with showering or other personal care tasks, we are here to help with those as well.

We want to help you with all daily tasks so each day feels fulfilled and gives you maximum comfort.

Freedom to Play

Although socialization is a key way to improve your life, engaging in hobbies and other activities is also high on the list.

The best part? The two often go hand-in-hand together so you can play around with a new hobby while interacting with other community members.

You'll keep your hands and mind busy, but also get to chat with your friends. Exchange tips and tricks of the trade, or talk about family members. There's no wrong way to play as long as you're enjoying yourself.

Uncertain which hobbies to try? Why not start with activities such as:

  • Drawing
  • Painting
  • Learning a musical instrument
  • Dancing
  • Water aerobics
  • Puzzles
  • Card games
  • Crochet
  • Writing

Delicious Chef-Prepared Meals

Getting the nutrients you need in your diet can be a difficult task. Even more so when it feels like your only food options are bland and uninteresting.

Instead of skipping meals, make sure your senior community features a chef-led team. They'll work together to come up with exciting new food options that'll make every mealtime feel like a treat.

Here at Highland Place, our dining area is near the living quarters and staff is always ready to help escort you. Even on those low-energy days, you can get to that delicious meal you've been thinking about all day.

Medicine Assistance

Juggling everyday tasks is never a simple thing. Sometimes we focus on one task and forget another.

Your unique selection of medicines ensures you stay as healthy as possible. Missing a single dose can be a huge detriment to your overall health. Some missed dosages can even cause uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.

Our staff understands this and makes sure every resident gets the medicine dosing assistance they need. Gone is the worry that you'll miss a pill on your busiest days.

Engaging Wellness Programs

It's no secret that physical activity is crucial to our wellbeing. What you may not know is that physical activity can also prevent many health problems, including:

  • Cognitive decline
  • Heart diseases
  • Muscle atrophy
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Decline in motor function

With so many health benefits, you must get as much physical activity as possible. A great way to encourage yourself to get regular exercise is by joining community wellness programs.

Lead by a member of the staff, you'll have the chance to do fitness exercises with a lowered risk of injury. Surrounded by fellow seniors, it's much easier to engage in physical activity every single day.

Compassionate Staff

No community can bring comfort to its residents without a staff team that works above and beyond. You need to feel at ease with the staff and have no qualms about asking them for help.

Whenever possible, tour the community before committing. This lets you look around and chat with the staff so you'll know that it's the right choice for you.
