What if you want to decorate your room in polka dots and tartan? What if you like to whistle Christmas carols all year round? What if you have a nightly ritual of cracking your knuckles? While there’s a lot to be said for having a friendly face around the place, many of us aren’t all that keen on sharing our quarters. We simply prefer a private room.
Granted, a room of one’s own is a bit more costly. Nevertheless, a good number of our residents and their families find that the comfort and freedom of preferred accommodation at a Leisureworld Caregiving Centre is well worth the extra expenditure.
To begin with, a private room here provides ample space for those treasured furnishings and nifty knickknacks that make a home sweet home. No need to consult or compromise your taste. You can suit yourself and put your own special stamp on the space.
On a purely practical front, you can lay back in your own personal sanctuary, while still being connected to your neighbours, staff, activities and services. With a private room at Leisureworld, you can enjoy the perks of privacy and the comforts of community at the very same time.
Of course, the advantages of having an ensuite washroom all to yourself are obvious. This is after all, the most private of private spaces. With a space of your own, there will be nobody banging on the door impatiently waiting to get in.
Predictability is also something to take into account. Since we humans tend to be creatures of habit, we don’t take kindly to change. Living in a private room means that you’ll meet your new neighbours somewhere other than in your bedroom.
In times of illness, families have also told us how much they appreciate the comfort and special privacy afforded by a single room. Visiting family members can come and go as they please with no added worry about disturbing anyone else.
At the end of the day, only you can decide whether or not a private room meets your unique needs. You might want to consult with the friendly staff at one of our Caregiving Centres. They will help make the transition comfortable for your loved one. Click on one of the links on this page for the Caregiving Center closest to you. |
