7 Benefits of Senior Living in Napa
According to recent Census data, Napa Valley has a higher percentage of seniors (22%) than the California state average (16.2%). With so much natural beauty and entertainment, it's not surprising that our local seniors don't want to look elsewhere for senior living.
The Watermark at Napa Valley seeks to provide not only safe elderly living but also enjoyable elderly living. Our amenities are designed to keep residents healthy and happy as their needs change.
What are the top seven benefits of our senior living in Napa? Read on as we share the biggest perks of moving into one of our modern retirement homes right here in Napa Valley.
1. Ample Social Opportunities
The National Council of Aging highlights the health risks associated with senior loneliness, noting that one-fourth of American seniors live in isolation. They note that prolonged loneliness in seniors can lead to higher risks of:
- High blood pressure and heart disease
- Mental health disorders like anxiety
- Cognitive decline and Alzheimer's
Active senior communities combat loneliness by providing ample opportunities for residents to socialize. Our dynamic community life calendar is packed with scheduled events like:
- Arts and crafts
- Games
- Lectures and classes
By providing a wide array of events, we seek to ensure that every resident can find at least one daily activity they'll enjoy and get to know their neighbors in the process.
2. Tiered Care Options
At The Watermark at Napa Valley, we recognize that each senior's needs are unique. They're also bound to change over time. For example, many of our residents move in because they want to enjoy the Napa senior lifestyle and only later require assistance with daily care.
To make the transition to senior living smoother, we offer tiered care options. These include:
- Independent living: private quarters and full access to our community amenities
- Assisted living: private quarters, access to community amenities, and professional help with activities of daily living
- Memory care: private quarters, access to community amenities, and professional care catered to cognitive decline and memory loss
Many of our seniors are able to stay with us for years, even as they require increasing levels of care. This creates peace of mind for both the residents and their families.
3. Safe and Maintenance-Free Living
You want to stay in the beautiful city of Napa, but you recognize that aging in your home presents some safety risks. We're here to provide safe elderly living in Napa Valley by:
- Reducing trip and fall hazards with smart home design
- Increasing continuity of care via medication management and healthcare transportation
- Assisting with basic daily activities like grooming and ambulating
We also allow seniors to enjoy their own private quarters without the hassle of home maintenance. Our on-campus team is available for both routine and emergency maintenance, keeping your home and our community amenities for seniors in Napa in fantastic shape.
4. High-Quality Dining
The USDA's MyPlate outlines specific dietary concerns for seniors, which include:
- Diet changes to support chronic conditions (e.g., reduced sodium to manage hypertension)
- Diminished sense of thirst, which can lead to dehydration
- Need for protein to support muscle mass
Many seniors struggle to keep up with their specific dietary needs when living alone. For example, they may not have easy access to grocery stores. They may have a disability that makes cooking difficult.
Our Napa Valley senior living community takes care of all your nutritional needs. You'll enjoy three chef-prepared meals per day that cater to your specific health profile, plus healthy snacking options.
5. Health and Wellness Support
Staying active is an important way to support your overall health as a senior. For example, an active lifestyle can help manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure. It can also support muscle mass and balance, which can keep seniors mobile for longer.
When you're living in a senior community like The Watermark at Napa Valley, you'll enjoy regular access to on-campus amenities like our:
- Fitness center
- Bocce ball court
- Putting green
- Pickleball court
We also create fitness classes designed to support seniors with specific mobility concerns. For example, seniors can enjoy modified weight lifting classes, chair yoga, and more.
6. On-Campus Entertainment
What if the activity calendar doesn't have anything you're interested in for the day? What if you're looking for some extra fun to fill your time or you want to entertain family members when they come to visit?
One of the many qualities that make The Watermark at Napa Valley unique is our on-campus entertainment. In addition to our fitness areas and planned activities, seniors can also enjoy our:
- Art and Creativity Studio
- Movie theater
- Rooftop terrace garden
- Spa and salon
In fact, many of our seniors take the initiative to plan their own activities and events. For example, you may find a community book club or language learning group meeting on the rooftop terrace garden.
7. Access to Local Amenities
Finally, let's talk about one of the biggest draws of senior living in Napa is Napa Valley itself. The only thing richer than Napa's natural beauty is our shining culture. Residents and their visitors can enjoy:
- Wine tastings at countless vineyards
- Art galleries
- Music festivals
- Boutique shopping
- Outdoor adventures like hiking and kayaking
While there's so much to enjoy on campus, we aim to encourage our residents to stay active in the wider Napa community.
