Senior Living
The nicest senior living centers you have ever seen, also had nice landscapes. This is because there is a clear correlation between the quality of care that staff give to residents, and the quality of care that management gives to the landscape. Just kidding, however, this may be exactly how a son or daughter perceives the property when choosing a new home for their parent. If this is not enough of a reason to invest in adequate landscape maintenance, you also need to keep residents occupied during their time outdoors. Native plant material can attract interesting wildlife, and the ability to care for a garden can make a person feel whole.
Outdoors: The Bingo Alternative
Although we might be stereotyping, we have seen our fair share of senior living centers. When managed properly they can provide a complete and holistic care of elderly individuals. An essential part of this care should be time spent outdoors. There is plenty of scientific data to back up the idea that spending time outdoors leads to greater happiness, and fulfillment. It is great for brain chemistry and connects us to the world around us. This is a level of connectedness that your senior living residents can feel when they have a tailored outdoor space to spend their free time.
I served as the HOA president of a subdivision in Cedar Lake, IN and hired Priority Landscape to maintain our property (lawn care, fertilization, irrigation, trimming and snow removal). Priority does yeoman’s work with integrity and respect. Our account manager was very responsive and the team that cared for our property was very respectful. I would recommend Priority to anyone.
