Waxahachie, the county seat of Ellis County and known as the "Movie Capital of Texas" and the "Gingerbread City," is a booming city just 25 to 30 miles south of Dallas. It offers a unique blend of proximity to nature, big-town amenities, a vibrant cultural scene, and many quaint shops.
It's also home to thousands of seniors, with the most recent data from the city's government website showing older adults 65 and over account for nearly 14% (13.94%) of the city's population.
At the heart of it all is Morada Waxahachie. Our Morada assisted living community delivers exceptional Waxahachie senior care in a beautiful, loving, and relaxing environment that promotes independence with assistance, if and when needed.
So, we invite you to join us today as we share insights about our community and why we're a leading choice for high-quality senior housing in Ellis County.
As explained by this article published in the scientific journal Nature, as many as 70% of adults 65 and older require help from others for the rest of their lives due to the loss of their ability to perform two or more ADLs (activities of daily living). ADLs are self-care tasks one needs to do to stay healthy and safe, from bathing to personal hygiene, grooming, and toileting, among others. Therefore, a person's ability to perform ADLs independently is a critical measure of autonomy and functionality.
However, just because an older adult needs help with ADLs doesn't automatically mean they can no longer enjoy some semblance of independence and self-reliance.
Dignified aging with assistance is one of the cornerstones of our assisted living community, Morada Waxahachie. We're proud of our highly experienced, dedicated, and compassionate team members who deliver personalized Texas elder support to our residents. They're available 24/7 to provide help if and whenever needed for ADLs like:
Our highly tailored, dignified care services ensure our residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing that a kind and caring team is always on-site and nearby if and whenever needed.
Relying on someone else for ADL assistance may sound like the last thing seniors who want to stay independent want and need. However, personalized care and supportive services can help them maintain autonomy and self-reliance by keeping them safe and out of harm's way.
Let's use showering or continence assistance as an example. Our professional care team can help residents safely get to and from the bathroom or toilet. In doing so, we can mitigate their risk of getting into a slip, trip, or fall incident.
Please remember that falls are the leading cause of injuries in older Americans, both fatal and non-fatal. As the National Council on Aging points out, about a quarter, or 14 million adults 65+, experience a fall yearly. Falls threaten not just their safety but also their independence, considering the significant and severe injuries and health toll they can cause.
At Morada Waxahachie, we encourage residents to lead an active, engaged lifestyle that fosters independence and longevity. We do this by giving them quick and easy access to a carefully prepared, robust, dynamic calendar of daily activities and events as part of our community's exclusive senior living programs.
