Independence is one of the most important aspects of a person’s life. Being independent is important for personal growth, development and self-sufficiency. However, with age comes many changes, and it’s common for older adults to require some form of assistance with their daily life.
At Astral at Auburn, our assisted living community in Auburn, Indiana, provides a helping hand so residents can maintain their independence and lead a more purposeful lifestyle. Below, our team shares some of the ways assisted living communities can enhance your quality of life or the life of someone you love.
If you’ve already begun your assisted living search, you’ve probably seen the phrase Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). ADLs are the routine tasks that a person must complete independently to keep up with safe and healthy living.
For some, these tasks become harder with age. Assisted living can provide the helping hand an individual needs and relieve the worries that can come along with an inability to complete these tasks. For residents, this means having more free time to explore social opportunities, classes and programs in the community that can enhance wellness.
At Astral at Auburn, our community provides residents with the tools and amenities to embrace an active lifestyle. However, being active doesn’t mean only focusing on fitness and physical wellness. In fact, an active lifestyle describes a lifestyle of purposeful living, in which a person participates in new activities, hobbies and wellness options to keep their mind, body and spirit active.
Our Auburn residents experience a greater sense of fulfillment in their lives that gives them the drive to discover new things and enjoy the positive, welcoming environment of our community each and every day.

As a homeowner, cleaning and taking care of maintenance tasks can become an everyday occurrence. Whether ensuring your yard and garden are clean-cut, shoveling the driveway, changing light bulbs or fixing a leaking sink – the list of chores is almost endless.
For many older adults, keeping up their homes means climbing stairs or ladders and spending time partaking in strenuous maintenance tasks, which can result in a fall or an accident. Beyond safety concerns, home maintenance can be extremely time-consuming, which can add unnecessary stress and worry to a person’s retirement lifestyle.
Assisted living communities provide maintenance-free living, in which the community takes care of home maintenance tasks and chores. For example, at Astral at Auburn, our team members are happy to help; from mowing the lawn to fixing and replacing appliances in our residents’ apartments, our Auburn team has it covered!
At the end of the day, quality of life is crucial for maintaining a fulfilling, independent lifestyle. For many older adults, it can be challenging to maintain this lifestyle when living alone in a private residence. Fortunately, assisted living is the perfect option to provide a helping hand and increase happiness and purpose.
