Written by Discovery Senior Living | Sep 19, 2024 4:00:00 AM

By our golden years, we've gained a lot of experience and the wisdom that comes with it. We recognize what truly matters in life: family, friends, a measure of health, and the chance to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Yet, sadly, over a third of older adults report feeling lonely either some of the time or often, which can make life unsatisfying and uncomfortable.

One solution is joining a retirement community in Ohio that truly cares. At Portland Place, a senior living community in Sandusky, OH, you never need to feel alone. Instead, you can enjoy good company, a comfortable life, and the reassurance of having someone on hand 24 hours a day.

Let's take a closer look at how Portland Place lets seniors enjoy their retirement in comfort and surrounded by friends.

Sandusky, OH - Top Choice for Comfort

Situated on the shores of Lake Erie, Sandusky is a great location for a comfortable retirement. Senior housing in Sandusky is high quality, and the local area is a delight for retirees. In this tranquil waterfront setting, you will find many engaging activities that can enrich your life.

Sandusky senior care options keep you connected with the local community by providing transportation services. So, if you no longer drive, get chauffeur-driven in comfort to where you need to be.

What to Expect at Portland Place Retirement Community in Ohio

Located moments from the shores of Lake Erie, Portland Place provides respite care and assisted living in Sandusky. These two options are designed to help seniors enjoy their best life in two different situations.

Respite Care

After surgery or illness, respite care is the perfect solution for recuperation. Focus on getting your strength back with the extra support Sandusky senior care provides. When you are ready, you can return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The most common elective surgery among seniors is joint surgery. After a hip or knee replacement, you may find some daily living tasks difficult for a while, such as:

  • Walking
  • Getting in and out of bed
  • Going to the bathroom
  • Showering and dressing

The trained staff in Portland Place Sandusky senior care community can provide the support you need. There's no need to worry about falling in the night. Simply call for a member of staff, and they will help you get where you need to go in safety.

Assisted Living

Assisted living is a long-term care option for seniors who cherish their independence. You get to enjoy all the advantages of living in your own home with none of the downsides. There will be no more housekeeping, maintenance, or yard work to do.

Instead, you can focus on enjoying life and getting the support you need. As mentioned above, our specially trained staff are on hand to provide support with any of the activities of daily living you need help with. If you need extra assistance in the future, your personal support plan can be updated.

However, it is important to note that Portland Place does not have medically trained staff on-site. We can arrange transportation to local medical services, and doctors can visit patients at Portland Place. Our caregivers can assist with medication management but do not provide any medical services.

If you have a long-term condition that requires daily nursing care, a nursing home may be a more suitable option.

As well as providing 24/7 support from caregivers, the team at Portland Place go out of their way to make life fun and comfortable for residents. This includes providing enjoyable activities and outstanding amenities that add a little indulgence to life.
