hat makes so many seniors want to spend their retirement in Central Virginia? If that’s the question, how long do you have for the answer? We could start with its natural beauty: its mountains, its hiking trails, and its lovely parks. Then there are its well-preserved and expertly explained historical sites that bear revisiting again and again. There is of course “Mr. Jefferson’s University” and its sporting Cavaliers (“Hoos”) playing basketball, football, lacrosse and you-name-it for now virtual but still enthusiastic fans. Then we mustn’t forget the area’s abundant cultural offerings including the exciting restaurant scene in and around Charlottesville that a highly ranked school indirectly produces. And last—well not last, but last in this short list—there are our moderate winters and our topnotch medical facilities. In a state the AARP numbers among the top ten healthiest places to retire, Central Virginia stands out for its abundant beauty, its urban amenities, its affordability, and its populace keenly appreciative of its most seasoned senior citizens. Charlottesville alone, says Cynthia Hash, REALTOR® with Keller Williams Alliance, “is a small town that entertains you like a big city.”

The Senior Center Hash is absolutely right—not that today’s “active seniors” need much passive entertainment. You can find a score of them any time at The Center, formerly The Senior Center, now in a new and larger building on Belvedere Boulevard in

Why Seniors

Love Central Virginia BY KEN WILSON

Charlottesville with its own Greenberry cafe. As “a community of volunteers, supporters, members, and staff,” The Center is a place “to meet new friends, improve your fitness, expand your mind, broaden your skills, volunteer, and have fun.” It’s Happening at The Center, alright! The Center’s numerous presentations, crafts, fine arts, health, fitness, financial management and computer classes, along with its Lifelong Learning programs, support groups, and trips both nearby

and abroad make it the region’s hub for social and recreational activity. Travel programs range from slide shows with guest lecturers, to day trips and overseas excursions. Even in these difficult times, many Center programs still take place on-site. Many others are available on demand, to be enjoyed whenever one pleases, even when The Center itself is closed. Center members lead many of the Center’s 100 programs a week, and log

more than 40 thousand hours of volunteer service to the Center and other community organizations—work valued at almost $1 million by the Virginia Employment Commission.

Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) One organization devoted to serving seniors is JABA (Jefferson Area Board for Aging). Working with state and local government, educational institutions, businesses, nonprofits and private citizens, JABA has been helping seniors to meet their needs all along the aging continuum in Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson since 1975. JABA’s services range from finance and health insurance counseling and estate planning, to home delivered meals, health and advocacy services, caregiver support, and respite care. Its Community Seniors Centers in Charlottesville and in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties serve hot lunches and facilitate day trips and other activities for adults with disabilities and/or age 60 and above. JABA also partners with senior housing providers in Charlottesville (Timberlake Place, Woods Edge, and Park View Apartments), and in Nelson County (Ryan School Apartments) to help seniors maintain independent and active lifestyles while interacting with their peers. JABA nurses provide regular health screenings and services at Park View at South Pantops, Ryan School Apartments and Woods Edge Apartments. “At Home with JABA” programs now being conducted via phone and internet

Adult Day Care centers in Charlottesville and Louisa offer individualized care for older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and provide family caregivers critically important support and education. The “Live Well, Virginia” program is designed to empower adults struggling with disease and chronic pain to improve their health and quality of life. During six workshops (currently being conducted online) participants practice skills and coping strategies to meet their particular needs. Topics covered include pain management, coping strategies, exercise, nutrition, medication use and communicating with doctors. These interactive workshops focus on problem-solving, action planning and decision-making.

garages, low-maintenance yards and, most importantly, “universal design,” barrier-free architectural features that allow residents to stay in their homes for as long as possible. Universal design features include “zero threshold” (no steps) entries and three-foot wide hallways and doorways. Bathrooms come with high toilet seats, walk-in showers, non-slip floors, grab bars and a five-foot turning radius. Pot fillers over stoves eliminate the need to carry heavy pots of waters from sink to stove. Doors with lever handles and lights with rocker switches require less hand strength. All these design elements make one-story homes safe and comfortable for active but less than agile occupants, especially those in wheelchairs. Along with these practical architectural features, such developments advertise “maintenance free living,” in which all necessary work on a home’s exterior and grounds is paid for through VILLAGES AT NAHOR

The presence of not one but two hospitals in Charlottesville alone, plus another in Augusta County, means that both primary and specialty care are readily available in Central Virginia. In addition to their main campuses, “Martha Jefferson and the University of Virginia have expanded to where you have satellite facilities that are like small hospitals that are essential to an aging population,” Hash notes. UVA maintains facilities not only in Charlottesville but in Culpeper, Zion Crossroads, and Orange as well. Sentara Martha Jefferson has four facilities in Charlottesville and one in Zion Crossroads.

Active Adult Communities Adults retired from work but not from productive civic engagement and lifelong learning are in good company around here. “People are typically living longer,” Hash says. “I’m seeing quite a spike of families coming here looking for multigenerational opportunities.” While many retirees settle in established, mixed-age neighborhoods, others seek out developments built specifically for the 55-and-not-old-yet crowd. Like traditional retirement homes—continuing care communities where residents can first live independently and then move to assisted living and health care facilities when necessary—the new “age in place” communities offer entry-level

Homeowner Association (HOA) dues. These new model villages, virtual resorts for boomers entering not their second childhoods, but their second, carefree youths, offer amenities like pool and fitness centers, and bocce and tennis courts, that facilitate community and make for luxury living. Adults 55 and up enjoy, one level, low-maintenance living at The Villages at Nahor in Palmyra. Named for the intersection of Routes 53 and 636, called Nahor since the 1700s, the Villages consists of single-family and attached homes for which lawn, landscaping, and exterior home care are all maintained by the community. Homes are currently priced between $189 thousand and $394 thousand. The Villages’ extensive grounds include sidewalk lined streets, a heated pool and pool house, a fitness center with a quarter mile fitness track, a newly redesigned clubhouse, tennis and bocce courts, a playground and Tot-Lot for grandkids, community gardens, and a picnic pavilion with an outdoor fireplace. Located in the Stoney Creek area near the four season Wintergreen Resort, the 55+ community of RoseWood Village is nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nellysford. Eighteen villas now sit next to the 27-hole Reese Jones Stoney Creek Golf Course.

Four Seasons at Charlottesville is an active adult community in Ruckersville about 30 minutes north of Charlottesville. Conveniently located close to Routes 29 and 33, it boasts landscaped streets and acres of natural space. The 144 single-family homes at Four Seasons were constructed between 2005 and 2010 and have 1,224 to 3,500 square feet of living space. Most have two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. The 23,000 square-foot clubhouse has a library, lounge, and learning center, plus game rooms for billiards and cards and rooms for classes, club meetings, and other activities. A ballroom hosts community events. Residents can work out on their own in a state-of-the-art fitness center, join classes in the fitness studio, swim in the indoor pool, and pamper themselves at the spa. Walking and biking trails with views of a small scenic lake beckon when the weather is warm. Just down the road from the University of Virginia, at the edge of horse and golf country on Ivy Road, is University Village, a 94-unit condo independent living community. Large glassed-in atriums on either side of each of the two village buildings offer a 360-degree panoramic view of the city and the mountains. The Village’s own building and grounds are exquisitely maintained.

THE LODGE AT OLD TRAIL

The two-level Village Club features a bocce court, game room, library and arts and crafts studio, kitchen facilities, and outdoor patio, plus public and private dining rooms where dinner is served five nights a week. The lower level of the Club includes a 75-foot swimming pool, whirlpool, fitness center, showers, and another patio. University Village also offers underground parking, chauffeur car service, and four well-appointed overnight guest rooms for friends and family. Most Village residents own their homes, and help run the Village, electing its Board of Directors. While a few of the

Villages condominiums are rentals, most are owner-occupied, and owners have a direct say in community management and governance, electing members of the Villages Board of Directors. The Lodge at Old Trail in Crozet offers independent living, assisted living and memory care residences at the heart of Old Trail Village, a planned community of over 400 families in Crozet. The Lodge is only a short walk from the shops, restaurants, healthcare providers and more in the Village Center. It is also in walking distance of a community pool, community garden, fitness center, soccer field, golf course, and six miles of walking trails.

There’s no place like home.

How Sweet It Is The U.S. Census bureau projects that one out of five people in the United States will be over 65 by 2030. Meanwhile, the senior population in the Charlottesville area is projected to grow from 27,000 in 2000 to 56,000 by 2025. And it’s no wonder. Magazines like Money, Black Enterprise, Golf Digest, and AARP the Magazine have recently proclaimed our area one of the best in the nation to retire in. Thoughtfully designed housing for today’s active seniors eager to seize the day and enjoy all we have here makes life even sweeter. Seniors love Central Virginia!
