Your overall health is one of the most critical factors when deciding whether to keep living at home or transition to senior community living.
According to the U.S. CDC, an estimated 129 million Americans have at least one major chronic disease, like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or obesity. Over 40% of the U.S. population even have two or more chronic diseases.
If you're dealing with a chronic illness yourself, won't it be reassuring to know that you can always rely on someone to help you manage your condition? At LakeHouse New Holstein, this is precisely what our professional yet friendly and caring care team will do for you.

To give you even more peace of mind, a full-time registered nurse heads our team and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to coordinate your care and deliver clinical oversight.
Maintaining independence is a critical factor that drives many aging U.S. adults to want to keep living in their current homes as long as possible. A Today's Homeowner study found that this is the priority of 48% of adults age 55 or older who desire to grow old in their homes. However, the study also found that 37% of respondents worry about being able to do daily activities, and 35% have concerns about feeling lonely.
If you want to maintain independence while receiving personalized care when needed, LakeHouse New Holstein can help.

Another challenge you may face in retirement is maintaining and building new connections. Not having enough contact with others is a significant issue among older adults, as it can lead to social isolation and loneliness.
Indeed, according to the most recent University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging (NPHA), 33% of older adults had infrequent contact with others in 2023. They only had contact with others outside their homes once a week or less. The survey also found that 34% of adults between 50 and 80 felt isolated from others, and 37% noted a lack of companionship in the past year.
