Are You Ready to Start Your Life’s Ovation?

Three Signs You or Someone You Know is Ready for Senior Living

By Emily Havens, Ovation Executive Community Relations Director Whether you aspire to learn a new hobby, to spend more time in service to others, or to dust off that home fitness equipment, almost everyone has a goal in mind this year—other than celebrating the end of a turbulent 2020.

Prior to developing her marketing career, Emily spent three years at The Spectrum and Daily News as a local journalist.

As you make plans for the new year, have you imagined a whole new, hasslefree life? Perhaps you have loved ones who are curious for an exciting way to celebrate retirement or who have had a significant shift in health and are stepping into a new stage of life. Three Signs You Are Ready for Senior Living

1. Y ou are seeking an active, social, life-long learning environment. Senior living communities are notorious for putting emphasis on social activities, and Ovation is no exception. These communities offer experiences that likely would have been out of reach or that make you say, “I would never have thought to do this for myself.” Brain and mental health are just as important as physical health, and retirement communities offer activities to keep you active and your assets sharp. 2. Y ou are concerned about your health or the health of a loved one. Perhaps you feel healthy and strong, but you simply are worried about the “what ifs.” What if my spouse has a stroke tomorrow? What if I suffer a fall next week? Do I have a plan? Getting a plan in place is imperative to having a successful transition into senior living at any stage. 22 www.saintgeorgewellness.com

3. You are clear on your priorities. Take a hard look at what is most important in your life. Perhaps maintaining your yard and enjoying the view from your porch is important to you. Now ask yourself: Why? Is it truly the act of staying up on yard work, or is it that you enjoy having purpose and moving your body? Get realistic about your priorities, and remind yourself that hundreds of successful people like you move into retirement communities and wish they had done so sooner. What is a retirement community? Every retirement community has its distinguishing features. At Ovation—southern Utah’s newest, luxury community—you can choose from multiple floor plans in our fully-independent apartment homes or villas.
