Having doubts about making a
big change in your life by moving into a 55+ community? Modern 55+ communities
aren’t what they used to be a few decades ago. So if you are harboring an image
of nursing homes or assisted living facilities, then you are in for a surprise.
Today, these communities support independent living and an active lifestyle
with homes designed according to the comfort and luxury needs of active adults.
To help you understand, here is a list of the many ways in which active 55+
communities can provide you with the well-being
and happiness that you are looking for.
# You will find activities
to keep yourself occupied
Modern 55+ communities place
emphasize on activity and fitness; the amenities they
offer go way beyond the regular clubhouse and gym you expect to find in a
township. From cooking classes to writing and painting workshops, from
recreation rooms to fitness centers, from services of personal trainers to
community games and sports meets – you can find various options here to keep
yourself engaged. The residents of the community itself live with a zeal to
enjoy, and regularly organize picnics, barbeques, coffee meets,
book clubs, movie nights and even charity and community service projects.
# You get hassle free repair
and upkeep
If you think the tagline ‘hassle
free repair and upkeep’ will simply mean snow and leaf removal from your
backyard, today’s 55+ communities will make you reconsider. Services usually
offered by these community developers include all kinds of exterior building
maintenance including sidewalks, roads, roofs, driveways and lawn care. They
also provide indoor maintenance assistance on call. No more having to worry
about changing that hard-to-reach light bulb. Your community handyman will take
care of everything.
# You get support services
Independent living is the
main goal for most people after retirement. However, there are times when a
little assistance can make life easier. With an understanding of the needs a
resident may have while living, modern 55+ communities also offer on-call
support services including simple activities like running errands,
housekeeping, cooking assistance, pet care as well as
professional help that includes medical assistance, nursing, physical rehab and
emergency call systems. As a resident of an active 55+ community, there is
nothing you have to worry about.
Today’s active 55+
communities offer much more than simple retirement homes. They offer all the necessary
amenities so you can enjoy the active, interesting and excitement-filled
lifestyle you had planned for the later years of your life.
