Staying Social in Assisted Living

It’s natural, as we get older, to zero in on our family and close friends — and that’s certainly a huge source of happiness for people of all ages. But research shows that interacting with a wider range of people can have even more benefits, including a better overall mood.

At The Moorings at Lewes, residents will have a variety of options every single day — just beyond their door — to get to know and spend time with others.

A day in the life could mean joining a group of friends for weekly lunch, or kicking off the morning sipping coffee outside, soaking up the sunshine. To fill up the rest of the day, residents can utilize the art studio, library, fitness facility, or heated indoor pool. The options as to how they would like to spend their day are endless.

Residents have access to a wide variety and always-changing line-up of educational, spiritual, cultural, and social activities and programming.

However they choose to spend their day, they will have the option of being out and about, interacting with people as much as they would like. More importantly, they will be in control of their own schedule and social life.

Assisted Living Apartments and Cottages

The Moorings at Lewes offers spacious assisted living apartments with the choice of one or two bedrooms complete with a kitchenette, living room, and private bathroom with barrier-free showers. Residents won’t have to worry about cooking meals, washing linens, or doing housekeeping as community team members will take care of those needs for them.

Just outside their door, they will find manicured lawns, walking trails, a butterfly garden, fountains, flowers, and a gazebo — as well as transportation to recreational activities.
