Medication Assistance ensures medications are taken timely and safely.
With the complexity and ever-changing healthcare challenges, seniors need some help in managing their prescriptions. Our medication assistance service consists of reminding or coaching residents to take his or her medications timely and offering assistance opening the medication containers. We also provide the proper storage of prescription drugs, as well as over the counter medications. At Cavalier Senior Living retirement communities, we help ensure medications are taken timely and safely.

Benefits of Renting in Retirement
Outsource Housekeeping Chores and Cooking
You don’t have to spend your day cleaning house, washing clothes, and cooking meals. As part of the rental agreement, your meals, laundry and housekeeping services are included in the assisted living monthly fee. Three nutritious meals are served daily in a common dining area. Basic amenities also include weekly housekeeping and personal laundry services.
No Home Maintenance
When something breaks, you simply call and put in a maintenance request for repairs.
“Something is always in need of repair with older homes, and that’s why a lot of seniors want to relocate to an apartment,” says Scott Lawrenson, Vice President of Cavalier Senior Living. “You are shifting the burden of home repairs to one of our maintenance men, who will make sure the job is done. You don’t have to get price estimates or find a person to take care of the repairs.”
Extra Help Available
Personal assistance services are available to seniors who live in senior living communities. Services include personal laundry, health monitoring, modified diets, and assistance with personal hygiene, bathing, and dressing. Additional charges may apply based on the personal assistance services provided.
Transportation
What happens when you reach a point when you can no longer drive? Some retirees choose to relocate to an assisted living community that offers scheduled local transportation to medical appointments, shopping, and recreational opportunities.
Relocate Near Family
Retirement can be an opportunity to move closer to your children and grandchildren. Relocating close to your family has many advantages. If you rent close to your children, you can visit with them often and eliminate travel expenses. Plus, you can help each other with childcare and eldercare as needed.
Age-Appropriate Features
Retirees may choose an apartment with amenities that will allow them to live independently for as long as possible. Select an apartment with minimal stairs and look for safety features such as showers with handles, brightly lit hallways, convenient laundry facilities, and security.
Downsize to a Smaller Place
In retirement, you don’t necessarily need a house with several bedrooms and a big yard. Once your children move out of the house, you don’t need as much space or stuff. In fact, stairs to climb and a yard that needs mowing can become a significant liability as you age. Downsizing to a living space more appropriate for current needs is a smart move.
Lower Your Cost of Living
Upon retirement, you no longer need to live in expensive areas near the office or in good school districts. Sometimes downsizing and relocating, even a short distance, can result in a significantly lower cost of living.
Tap Your Home Equity
You could improve your retirement finances significantly when you sell your home and become a renter. In many cases, it costs less to rent than it does to own. There are no property taxes, there’s no maintenance cost, and most utilities are included. For retirees who rent an assisted living apartment, meals are provided, and they have personalized assistance available. All of these amenities are covered in the monthly rent.
Security
Assisted living apartments are equipped with an emergency response system. For your peace of mind and your family’s as well, an on-site resident care team is available 24 hours a day. You simply call for help.
Socialization
Senior communities offer the added bonus of social programs and a chance to make friends. You can enjoy the privacy of your own individual apartment, dine with other residents, and participate in recreational activities when you want to socialize with others.
More Flexibility
Renting a senior apartment gives you flexibility to relocate without a long-term commitment. “Renting allows you the freedom to choose where you live today as well as in the future,” says Scott Lawrenson, President of Cavalier Senior Living Communities. “Our month-to-month rent, without long-term leases, allows you to try out assisted living and, in turn, allows us to meet your needs as changes occur.”
