Senior Living

CHICAGO | ILLINOIS | VOL. 3 Senior Living RETIRE WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE

Senior Independent Living is a hot topic these days considering our aging population of healthy vibrant older people. These communities are often the best option for active adults over 55 who want a built-in sense of community and privacy. Meant for people with few medical needs or assistance requirements, they offer an opportunity to live amongst other active seniors either in apartments, cottages, villas or even small homes such as in the 55 plus communities. Independent living community staff take care of the grounds and common areas and housekeeping may be an option as well. The mission of independent senior living is an active social, fun-filled community where residents can relax and enjoy life.

AMENITIES

While residents live independently, most communities offer amenities, activities and services. Amenities differ from one type of independent living to another. Often, recreational centers or clubhouses are available on-site to offer opportunities to connect with peers and participate in community activities such as continuing education classes, movie nights, holiday gatherings, card games etc.

Activities: They may also offer amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts, golf course or other clubs. Other services may include on-site spas, beauty and barber salons, housekeeping and laundry services as well as transportation services.

Dining: Some offer menu plans where a certain number of meals are included for shared dining as well as the option of in-home meal preparation.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

The reasons to move to senior independent living are many and varied. Some people want less responsibility for maintaining a home and love the conveniences offered. Others move in for purely social reasons and in order to expand their circle of friends. Sometimes it is a good option for snow-birds who don’t want the responsibility of maintaining two homes.

Some things to consider before making the leap to senior independent living are the state of one’s health, both physically and

mentally, the right location so as to maintain the support system you have and the financial implications of any move.

Senior Independent Living is a great option for many older adults who want to maintain their independence while minimizing their responsibilities for a private home.

If considering a senior independent living situation, it is important to plan ahead and give yourself time and space to cope with change. Ultimately, it can make life easier and more fun in retirement.
