Five reasons to move into independent living
If you’re leery about moving to a retirement home, here are the top five reasons seniors love the move soon after going through the challenge of selling their home and changing their lifestyle from one that no longer serves them well.
1. There’s a built-in social life that’s as vibrant as you want it to be. Everyone you live with is your age. You’ll find people who’ve lived in Regina all their lives, with interesting connections with you. Pass people in the hallway and you’ll always find something to talk about. It’s unlike any typical suburban neighbourhood or condo complex (where neighbours are younger and often busy). And if you don’t want to socialize, hang out in your suite. But it’ll be your choice.
2. A daily slate of activities keeps you as active as you want. People in Regina independent living will tell you, “There’s something to do every day!” The schedule will include in-house activities and outings. On top of that, there’s always a card game to join in, a conversation in the lounge, or a meal you can sit down to. Typical activities include fitness, movie nights, Bingo, and more, depending on the community amenities.
3. Amenities tailor-made for people your age you won’t find anywhere else. Not many apartment buildings have a swimming pool, in-house movie theatre, or a putting green. But an independent senior living retirement home in Regina might have all three of those (even more!) Just join in the fun! It’s easy when it’s right in the building where you live.
4. Safety and security that’ll ease your stress and your family’s. Move to an Edmonton independent living retirement home and feel instantly safe 24/7. There’s always staff on hand. Security may also include a concierge, secured entrance, and closed circuit TV.
Many seniors are unaware of how much family members worry about them. You’ll be doing them a big favour and set their minds at ease.
5. No more housework, bills, cooking, cleaning, etc., etc. Just about everything is done for you. Meals are prepared, often by a chef. Someone else clears the table and does the dishes. Meals include side items, like salad, that you’d not likely make for yourself. The housework is all done by someone else. There are no surprise bills, no plumbing repairs, no carpet cleaning, no property taxes, no roofing to replace – the list goes on. Everything fits in one monthly payment.
Those are just the obvious benefits. Elsewhere, we look at all the benefits of moving to a senior living community.
