Weekly Housekeeping and Laundry Services
The National Institutes for Health (NIH) says that about one in three people older than 65 suffers a fall each year. Older people are at a higher risk of falls because many bodily functions, such as gait, vision, and hearing, decline with age. For these reasons, even everyday housekeeping and maintenance tasks can be a burden and injury risk to older adults.
The good news is that exceptional assisted living communities take over these tasks for their residents. For instance, at The Capstone, our experienced staff handles housekeeping and laundry tasks every week. In the meantime, residents can use this time to enjoy our community’s many other exceptional amenities, such as our beautiful outdoor spaces.
Fitness Center
The best senior living communities have amenities like fitness centers to encourage residents to stay active. At The Capstone, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art exercise equipment, including:
- Stationary bikes
- Treadmills
- Ellipticals
Our residents can enjoy our fitness center’s equipment whenever they want, whether they wish to exercise alone or with friends. We also offer physical activity and wellness programs for our residents with limited mobility, such as meditation and chair exercises.
Exceptional Dining
When selecting an assisted living community, you must ensure it can provide nutritious, healthy, and tasty meals. The dining staff at The Capstone excels in this area, delivering three sumptuous meals daily to each resident.
You can enjoy your meals in the privacy of your apartment. You can also socialize and eat with your friends and other residents in the community dining room.
On-Site Beauty Salon and Spa
Pampering yourself will be much easier if you choose an assisted living community with an on-site beauty salon and spa. You can look and feel your best with a stylish haircut and a relaxing mani/pedi.
The Capstone offers this amenity within the community, so you don’t have to go far to enjoy some self-care and pampering time.
