Assisted living isnt giving up- it’s giving more…. MORE care, MORE connection, and MORE quality of life! ❤️
At Reflections Residential care home, our residents eat and enjoy the same meals that we and our family share.
🍕🍔🌮Family-style dining in assisted living facilities is important because it enhances social interaction and a sense of community, which improves residents' emotional well-being and can lead to better nutritional intake and overall quality of life. This setting promotes a more home-like atmosphere, encourages residents to make choices, and can even provide cognitive stimulation through conversation.
💎Social and emotional benefits:
🔅Builds community: Shared meals foster friendships and a sense of belonging among residents and with staff.
🔅Reduces isolation: It provides a consistent opportunity for social interaction, which is especially important for new residents.
🔅Boosts emotional well-being: It can create a more positive and less stressful environment, evoke positive memories, and reduce feelings of agitation, anxiety, or depression, particularly for those with dementia.
💎Health and independence benefits

🔅Promotes healthy eating: It can encourage healthier eating habits and improve nutritional intake.
