Moving to Senior Citizen Homes – 5 FAQs of Residents before moving into Eden

 As the number of senior citizens in India continues to rise, there is an emerging trend of luxury senior citizen homes such as Eden Senior Living which cater to the needs of senior members of our society. Moving to such a place can open up exciting avenues in life, full of new experiences, friendships, and interests. 

We know that changing homes can be a stressful experience for anybody. And in the case of senior citizens, we have to factor in various aspects like mobility, accessibility, health amenities, and assistance before we make a decision. The way we see it, a senior citizen’s lifestyle should be full of privileges and comfort, and experience earned after years of hard work in their professional and family sphere. 

At Eden Retirement Living, we consider all needs and requirements of our residents and make sure they get the best facilities and assistance for a happy, healthy and fulfilling senior living.  

To help you understand how living at Eden senior living homes would be like, here are, some FAQ’s that our residents ask us before moving in with us:

Eden, situated in Purkul, Dehradun, is easily accessible by roads, rail and air. The distance between Eden and the nearest railway station is a mere 15 KM, while it is 35 KM away from the city’s airport. This means that you can easily travel to other cities or countries for personal or professional engagements. The spiritual towns of Rishikesh and Haridwar and the beautiful hill stations of Mussorie and Dhanaulti are all within comfortable driving distance, allowing for pleasant excursions. We also offer a shuttle transport service to nearby areas such as markets.

2. How can I stay connected with friends and family while living at Eden?

We have adopted all the necessary safety and security measures that are necessary for senior citizen homes along with 24-hour staff to provide you with a worry-free experience. We offer wearable tags to all residents for 24x7 monitoring and rapid emergency response in case of an accidental fall. We have also installed emergency/panic buttons in every apartment for rapid response. So while seniors can enjoy their privacy in the apartments, they are not pushed into isolation, and someone is always looking out for them.

4. How is Eden going to ensure my good health and wellbeing?

Most senior citizens suffer from certain health conditions that require regular medical attention and care. Our residents can consult the in-house doctors, go for lab tests, speak to specialised medical professionals such as physiotherapists and dieticians, contact the 24/7 telemedicine helpline for round the clock medical support and purchase essential medicines from the onsite medical store.  We also offer ambulance services to nearby hospitals such as Max Super Speciality Hospital, which is located just 5 KM from the apartment. 

5. How does Eden make sure that my life remains active and engaging?

Numerous studies have shown that people who are active and engaged are healthier and happier. Eden provides you with a plethora of leisure activities and hobbies for a vibrant and engaging senior living life, such as long walks or treks, swimming, gardening, reading and discussing books from the library, playing chess, pool or a game of cards, exercising at the fitness centre, beauty treatments at the salon or the spa, and a sumptuous meal at the onsite restaurant and bar. You can also participate in round-the-year festival celebrations, picnics and excursions, and expert-led lectures and camps which you may not find at most senior citizen homes.
