For seniors, their home is their sanctuary. It is the place where they sleep, relax, and host get-togethers. A thoughtfully designed home can help seniors live in comfort. An important factor that influences the interior design of a home is the colour scheme. Colour harmony is created when colours in a scheme work well with each other. As one of the premium senior citizen homes in Bangalore, we share with you a few useful insights on creating colour harmony for your home:    Understand the fundamentals of a colour scheme: A colour scheme consists of a combination of colours. By pairing different colours together, endless colour palettes can be created. To choose the right colour scheme, you must understand the different moods that each colour scheme evokes. Types of colour schemes: To know how to create colour harmony in your house, you have to first zero in on the right colour scheme. Once you have done that, you can search for paint inspirations online or in architectural magazines. Here are some of the common types of colour schemes:  Monochromatic colour scheme: This scheme focuses on a single colour. It uses various hues of the single colour to create contrasts. White, grey, or black are some of the popular choices for a monochromatic colour scheme. It is timeless and trendy. When done right, it can make the house look elegant and sophisticated.  Analogous colour scheme: This colour scheme has three colours that border each other in the colour wheel. This colour scheme starts off with a base hue and is extended with two adjoining hues. The word “analogous” means closely related. Together these shades create a harmonious appeal. For instance, in a living room, the walls can be yellow whereas the furnishing can be muted green.  Triadic colour scheme: This scheme has colours that are placed equidistant from each other on the colour wheel, forming a triangle. Though the colour scheme lends a colour appeal to the home, it can be a little difficult to achieve.  Neutral colour scheme: A neutral colour scheme has gained a lot of popularity of late. It typically consists of hues of white, grey, and black  along with other neutral colours such as such beige, tan, and brown.  How to choose a colour scheme: When it comes to creating colour harmony in your home, there are many factors to be considered. Some of them are:  Personal taste: If you like clean and crisp lines, monochromatic colour scheme and neutral colour scheme can be good choices. For a bolder look, the triadic colour scheme is perfect. The analogous colour scheme can work well to give an ombre effect.  Lighting: Both natural light and artificial light should be considered when choosing colour for a space. They can make the room look different at different times of the day.    Looking for premium senior citizen homes in Bangalore?    Explore our senior living community in Bangalore – it will offer you an great retirement lifestyle.

One of the biggest problems seniors faces today is financial fraud. Scamsters use sympathetic, sophisticated, and convincing conversations that sound legitimate to prey upon seniors. Often scammers target seniors who are vulnerable. Seniors who are lonely, who do not have the knowledge of technology, or who are physically disabled are less likely to see through the nefarious scheme of scamsters. It is, therefore, necessary that the seniors are aware of possible scams and protect themselves from scammers.  As one of the leading senior citizen housing communities, we share some useful insights on scams that seniors must know about:    Ponzi scams: After having worked hard for decades, many senior citizens often live on interest on life savings. Therefore, earning better interest rates can be quite tempting. It is here that scammers take advantage of seniors by promising them a substantial high rate of return. In many cases senior citizens lose their life’s savings being lured by such schemes. In such schemes, fraudsters often use money from new investors to pay existing investors. This way they can get existing investors to shell out more money. Property theft: There have been instances where seniors have been duped of their own house. This kind of fraud can be committed both online and offline. When it comes to property theft crimes, often seniors are duped into signing blank papers or property transfer papers. In many cases, seniors are victims of identity theft – where the scamsters steal the senior’s identity and transfer the property to somebody else’s name without the knowledge of the senior. In many cases, close family members or friends are involved in such crimes. False charities: Many seniors like to donate to charities. However, there have been cases where seniors have been duped by false charities through telephone calls or emails. Though fake charities approach seniors all year round, they often become active after disasters such as floods, cyclones, or earthquakes. Phishing and smishing scams: Seniors often get unsolicited emails (phishing) or texts (smishing) asking them to verify personal or financial information by clicking on a link. Seniors might be asked to provide their credit card number, passwords, or OTPs. The link directs the seniors to a website that resembles the real website of a genuine organisation – it even copies the messages, the tone, and logo of the organisation. As a result, seniors trust the website and provide their personal details and financial information. Once the scammers get the information, it is easy for them to steal the identity of the seniors.    As one of the leading senior living communities in India, we urge seniors to be wary of such scams.

“What you seek is seeking you.” ― Rumi   As people age, they not only seek physical, emotional, and intellectual wellness but also spiritual wellness. But what is spiritual wellness and why does it matter to seniors? Spiritual wellbeing means seeking life’s meaning and purpose and understanding the values, beliefs, and morals that guide your everyday actions. Many studies have found that patients who are spiritual tend to have a more positive outlook towards life than those who are not spiritually inclined. As one of the leading senior citizen homes in India, we share a few insights on activities that can help seniors practise spiritual wellness:  Practise breathing exercises: Meditative breathing exercises help seniors gain awareness of the body. For many, breathing exercises are like a form of silent prayer. The practice of breathing consciously and with intent helps one calm their mind and body.  Be thankful: When seniors look for positivity in everyday things, they add meaning to their lives. For many seniors, being grateful is equivalent to being in a state of bliss. Gratitude allows them to see value and virtue in everything. Keeping a gratitude journal, appreciating family, friends and others for little things, and sending thank you notes to loved ones are some simple ways to look for blessings in life.  Unleash creativity: Spirituality does not have to be a religious pursuit. Creativity is a powerful force that helps a wandering mind to concentrate on a particular thing. Creativity is contemplative awareness that encourages people to pause and think about the mystery of life. Seniors can express themselves creatively through art, writing, dance, pottery, and painting.  Reading spiritual literature: For many seniors, reading spiritual books is an extended part of their daily meditation session.  Feel nature’s bliss: Being out in nature gives one a feeling of pure bliss. It may not be possible for seniors to walk on a beach or go on hiking trips every day. But they can appreciate what they have around them – they can walk in the park and smell the fresh cut grass, admire beautiful flowers, or listen to birds calling out to one another. Our senior citizen homes are designed to encourage physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual wellness. Our senior citizen homes have green open spaces where residents can meditate, practise yoga, and enjoy quiet mornings watching flowers bloom.
