Brunswick Retirement Communities

The key to maintaining your health and wellness as you grow older is staying active. So many seniors resign themselves to staying home, watching television for hours on end with little to no interaction with like minded people. As a result you might find your loved one becoming depressed, angry and difficult to be around. This deterioration over time can lead to failing health and complications while living at home such as falls, missed medications and failure to perform activities of daily living (ADLs).

If you’re concerned that your elderly family member is having problems and needs some additional help, consider moving them into an assisted living facility. Assisted living is not a nursing home. Assisted living is similar to apartment living with certified staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help your loved one with activities of daily living, medication administration, and meal preparation. In addition, assisted living provides planned activities for seniors with outings to local attractions and events with transportation to and from provided by the facility.

Brunswick, Georgia, and the surrounding Golden Isles is a beautiful location to retire. There are numerous museums, art galleries and shopping opportunities for seniors. In nearby Pooler is the museum commemorating the Mighty 8th Air Force of World War II. If your mother or father made a contribution to the war effort during that time, let the museum staff know and they will consider documenting their story. The Outlet Malls in Darien offer discounted apparel with several top brands represented. Golf courses are plentiful around Brunswick with no shortage of available tee times. If gambling is your activity of choice, the Emerald Princess casino ship leaves from downtown Brunswick.

Southeast Georgia Regional Medical Center provides exceptional patient care to the residents of coastal Georgia. Southeast Georgia Regional Medical Center is accredited by American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer.

The average cost of assisted living in Georgia is $2500.00 per month. The average cost of a skilled nursing facility is $4950.00. Assisted living can be a more attractive alternative than a nursing home. With constant opportunities for outings and numerous in house activities, your loved one will be constantly engaged, with both their mind and body.
