Retirement is a time to explore your interests and enjoy activities that bring you joy. However, living alone can sometimes limit your ability to maintain an active social life.

Moving into a Life Plan Community or Continuing Care Retirement Community can provide the life and support needed to make the most of your retirement. Here’s why now is the ideal time to move to senior living:

You’re Tired of Home Maintenance

One of the best aspects of being in a senior living community is how the living options help you simplify to a maintenance-free lifestyle. You no longer have to worry about maintaining the lawn or dealing with issues like fixing appliances. Your community takes care of repairs, lawn maintenance, and other daily tasks.

You also no longer have to worry about meal planning and cooking – you get access to delicious dining options at your senior living residence. At Freedom Village, residents can choose from four unique dining venues, each offering a distinct culinary experience.

With these time-consuming responsibilities out of the way, you have more time to take advantage of the community activities, services and amenities.

You Want An Active Social Life

Staying active and social is paramount to an older adult’s quality of life. Communities offer a plethora of activities where you can fill your schedule with great ways to benefit your mind and body – and spend quality time with friends. Some of these activities include:

• Learning something new with a continued education course
• Joining any and all clubs that interest you
• Taking an exercise class
• Seeing a movie with friends

There are likely all kinds of special interest groups that get together for things like a book club, line dancing, or games like bridge or bingo. The best part about being in the community is that you can change up your schedule whenever you want.

Do you want to start trying your hand at painting in the art studio? Would you like to use some of your time to volunteer? Freedom Village offers those activities, ballroom dancing, daily movies, and more. These are all available to you in your active retirement community – and you decide when and what you want to do.

Trying something new or even being new to a community could make anyone a little bit anxious, but with all these opportunities to get involved, you’ll make friends with your neighbors in no time.

Make the Most of Your Community’s Location

You also get to enjoy the surrounding area of your community. Freedom Village is located in the beautiful city of Lake Forest, CA. Residents enjoy being close to a city that offers opportunities for shopping or planning a night out on the town. You would also be within driving distance of gorgeous parks or lakes, creating the perfect environment for an afternoon walk and picnic with friends.

You Want Peace of Mind

Retirement communities prioritize safety with robust measures to ensure residents and community grounds are secure. These include:

• 24-hour desk reception: Immediate assistance and support are available around the clock, providing a sense of security and comfort.
• Security service and gated parking: Controlled access and vigilant security personnel enhance safety, maintaining a secure environment for residents and their belongings.
• 24/7 nursing staff and emergency medical technicians: The continuous presence of skilled medical professionals ensures prompt response to any health emergencies, offering residents reassurance that help is always at hand.

These comprehensive safety measures safeguard residents and contribute to a supportive and worry-free living environment in retirement communities.

You Prioritize Healthcare Access and Support

Senior living communities provide a range of specialized healthcare services designed to meet the unique needs of residents. Services such as medication management ensure that medications are administered safely and on schedule, while physical therapy programs help residents maintain or improve their mobility and overall physical health.

For those managing chronic conditions, these communities offer tailored disease management programs that include regular monitoring and personalized care plans.

Having healthcare professionals readily available on-site means residents receive prompt attention and support when needed. This not only enhances their overall well-being but also alleviates concerns for their families, who can rest assured knowing their loved ones are in capable hands.

Moreover, senior living communities offer a continuum of care that adapts to residents’ changing health needs over time. Whether transitioning to assisted living for support with activities of daily living or requiring other long term care options like intensive skilled nursing care, residents can seamlessly access higher levels of care within the same community.

This continuity ensures that residents receive consistent and comprehensive healthcare coverage, promoting long-term peace of mind and allowing them to age gracefully in a supportive environment.
