Inclusion in Senior Living Communities
Inclusion is about more than simply having a diverse group of residents; it’s about ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in community life. Participating fully means that activities are shaped and inspired by everyone’s interests and abilities—not just the majority or a select group of people. Every person has a voice in the types of things that should be included in our day-to-day lives, and everyone’s needs are considered in planning. Buckner focuses on diversity in senior living in the following ways:
- Personalized care plans tailored to each resident’s unique needs and preferences.
- Community events that celebrate a wide range of cultural traditions.
- Programs that cater to diverse interests and abilities.
Our team is dedicated to fostering an environment where residents and staff alike feel they belong and can contribute freely to a community where their opinions and desires are solicited, valued, and respected.
How Is Buckner Promoting Diversity in Senior Living Communities?
The conversation around diversity in senior living must mirror those that are going on in the broader culture. A successful senior living community will always bring people together in meaningful ways. Therefore, diversity and inclusion efforts should be seen as an extension of this value. At Buckner, we strive to do just that by offering a variety of activities and services that reflect the differing interests and backgrounds of our residents. Our senior living community is a place where:
- Residents engage in social interactions that broaden their perspectives.
- Cultural exchanges encourage understanding and camaraderie.
- Diverse traditions are honored and celebrated.
We remain open to new ideas always, desiring to create a supportive atmosphere where we learn together and promote individual well-being and community harmony. By embracing a range of cultural, ethnic, and lifestyle differences, we ensure that our community is not only inclusive but also vibrant and dynamic.
Additional Inclusion Efforts in Senior Living
When an environment feels supportive, people benefit from a sense of mental and emotional well-being. All of our Buckner communities offer services that are designed specifically to include ability levels and to help people feel the least amount of restriction possible. This includes services like speech and occupational therapies, a variety of educational programs, and memory care that allows clients facing health concerns like dementia to participate in our community life with the help of increased structure and assistance.
Residents consistently appreciate this inclusive approach, noting how it enriches our community.
