Live Your Retirement to the Fullest
How Living in a Senior Community Can Impact your Quality of Life
By Sondra Davenport

S

enior living communities may
provide long-term health benefits. According to seniorcare.
org, “The residents in these communities are achieving life-long goals
like completing marathons, learning
to play tennis, or perfecting a golf
swing.”
Retirement homes aren’t just for the
disabled anymore. Many baby boomers are moving into community centers in order to enjoy the finer things
in life. Residents are finding that the
lifestyle provided to them is more enjoyable than the lifestyle they could
provide for themselves living on their
own. Senior living communities provide meals, health centers, transportation, security, outings, as well as many
monthly social events. In addition, you
are presented the opportunity to be

independent by living in a fully functional apartment.
Your quality of life depends on
where you live, as does your health.
With easy access to a fitness center or
medical care, seniors are more likely
to partake in exercise and check-ups,

therefore improving their overall
health. What’s more, the high amount
of social involvement increases your
mental wellbeing. Building relationships is a key element in living a long,
fulfilled life. According to APlaceforMom.com, “Older adults who live
alone often become isolated, which is
unhealthy at any age. At senior communities we can make friends, share a
meal, and enjoy festive occasions with
one another.” The benefits to living in
a senior community are endless and
can greatly influence your quality of
life. Seniors are seeking to live their
retirement to the fullest and senior
communities allow them to do so in a
safe, secure environment.
