Windsor Manor SHARES RESULTS OF NATIONAL POLL FINDING SENIORS IN ASSISTED LIVING FEEL OVERWHELMINGLY SATISFIED AND SAFE IN THEIR COMMUNITY

93% satisfied; 99% feel safe in their community

Vinton, IA – Provision Living, a regional operator of assisted living and memory care communities, today shared the results of a national poll indicating that seniors in assisted living overwhelmingly feel safe in, and satisfied with, the communities in which they live. The nationwide survey of seniors currently living in assisted living communities found that fully 93% feel satisfied with their community, including 68% who say they are “very satisfied.” The survey findings also indicated that residents almost unanimously feel safe in their communities, with 99% of respondents reporting they feel safe.

“We’re pleased to share the results of this survey and believe they’re an accurate reflection of what we see each day in our communities,” saidTodd Spittal, president of Provision Living. “Each day, as we pursue our vision of creating a radiant organization where people are loved, inspired, and thriving, we see amazing acts of caring, warmth and concern from our team members, and while our associates are truly remarkable, I do believe we have only scratched the surface of what becoming a radiant caregiving organization looks like.”

Bethany Clemenson,Executive Director of Windsor Manor in Vinton, puts her personal take on the survey results: “We have to remember that happy residents are created one at a time, based on meeting their personal needs with a creative and customized approach. Assisted Living communities like Windsor Manor can do that much better than a nursing home, so it’s not surprising to see that people are happy with their choice to move there. Now we just need more families to take a look at it with an open mind!”
