Fostering independence is often overlooked despite its immense significance in maintaining individuals' quality of life and self-worth. Enter Platinum Skies, an innovative approach to retirement living that prioritises empowering homeowners to lead fulfilling, independent lives. Let’s delve into why promoting independence is crucial as we age.
Why is it important to encourage independence?
Independence is the cornerstone of dignity and self-esteem, regardless of age or ability. Maintaining autonomy as we age fosters a sense of purpose and control over our lives, enhancing emotional wellbeing and overall happiness.
How Platinum Skies empower independence
Platinum Skies is distinct in its holistic approach to senior care, championing independence through various avenues:
Self-care activities
At Platinum Skies, self-care isn’t just encouraged; it's woven into the fabric of daily life. Homeowners are free to participate in a calendar of activities from fitness classes to coffee and a chat.
Maintain hobbies and interests
One of the joys of life is pursuing hobbies and interests, whether it’s painting, gardening, or woodworking. Our community managers organise events and activities themselves, and some of our communities have their own social groups, who arrange a whole host of entertainment and trips out. Our Community Managers are on hand to help and support them with these, which means everyone benefits from an even greater choice of pastimes.
Staying socially engaged
Social connections are vital for mental health and happiness, and Platinum Skies understands the importance of a vibrant community. Our dedicated community managers organise events and group activities in our beautiful communal spaces, giving our homeowners ample opportunities to make friends and stay connected with their neighbours. By promoting social engagement, Platinum Skies combats isolation and cultivates a sense of belonging in our exclusive communities.
Supported living
Platinum Skies believes in providing the right level of support while respecting homeowners’ independence. As we get older, we all hope to remain in our own homes and avoid the need to move into a residential care home. Through Tender Loving Care by Platinum Skies (TLC), homeowners can access assistance with daily tasks or personalised care tailored to their needs. By offering the TLC service with supported living, Platinum Skies ensures our homeowners can stay in their own homes within a supportive community.
