What Independent Living With Support Means

Did you know that over 11,000 people turn 65 every day in the U.S.? As people age, the need for adaptable living solutions grows. Independent living with support is the perfect option for active aging, helping individuals enjoy their retirement years while staying as independent as possible.

Just a little extra attention offers seniors the freedom to live on their own terms while receiving the help they need. Supportive services can enhance independence by assisting with personalized needs, without compromising the ability to maintain a fulfilling and self-sufficient lifestyle.

For couples, this arrangement works seamlessly. Both partners can maintain their independence while having the flexibility to receive assistance as needed. With the support available, they can continue to enjoy their lives and feel confident that help is there when necessary.

Supportive Services: Essential for Senior Wellness

Staying well isn't just about good health. It's also about feeling secure, staying active, and having access to help at the right time. At Diamond Ridge, supportive services play a vital role in helping you stay independent while meeting your changing needs with dignity.

Here are a few benefits of using supportive services:

Just as important, knowing help is close by brings comfort not only to you but also to your loved ones.

Let's not forget about the relationship aspect. Social opportunities and wellness-focused care work hand in hand to create a senior living community where you feel connected, capable, and cared for.

Some days call for a little extra help. Whether it's a short-term need or ongoing support, non-medical home care at Diamond Ridge is a flexible solution designed to fit your routine, not the other way around. The goal is to make each day easier without interrupting how you prefer to live -- active aging done your way!

Using assistance when you need it allows you to stay in control of your day. Whether support is needed for a week or becomes part of everyday life, it's always offered with respect and compassion.

Foot Care with a Visiting Podiatrist

When was the last time you gave your feet a second thought? If your answer is "not recently," you're not alone. But keeping your feet in good shape is more than just a comfort issue. Healthy feet are a key part of staying active and independent.

Regular visits from a podiatrist can help you:

  • Maintain balance and mobility

  • Detect issues like bunions or neuropathy early

  • Prevent falls and injuries

  • Keep your walking routine strong

Healthy feet can open the door to enjoying everything Troy has to offer. Whether it's strolling through Prospect Park or visiting the year-round Troy Waterfront Farmers' Market, your feet are your ticket to adventure. So, take a step toward better foot health, and let your feet take you places.

Compassionate Care through Visiting Hospice

Our senior living community offers visiting hospice services, providing comfort and support when you or your loved one needs care while facing life-limiting conditions. Hospice care focuses on managing symptoms, relieving pain, and offering emotional and spiritual care. This is the time of life when it's critical to experience peace and dignity in a familiar environment.
