The benefits of an independent living retirement lifestyle

One of the keys to a happy retirement is selecting which senior living option is best suited for your needs. Anindependent livinglifestyle is a great fit for someone who does not require personal support or care, but may benefit from the many conveniences of living in a retirement community. Older adults living in independent retirement accommodations generally do not receive personal care services, but may enjoy dining options, general housekeeping and laundry amenities, and a host of activities and outings to support an active and vibrant lifestyle.

A Variety of Accommodation Types

There are many different accommodation types available to seniors who desire an independent living retirement lifestyle, including retirement suites and independent apartments that provide a comfortable and spacious home. At Chartwell, there are also other community types that can suit a variety of independent living preferences, including town homes, bungalows and cottages.

Peace of Mind

选择独立生活的好处是,你可以很容易地获得三餐和洗衣服务,以及其他的家政服务,让你以你想要的方式度过你的时间。无论是从事自己热爱的项目还是热爱的爱好,与家人和朋友共进晚餐,还是从事自己喜欢的运动或活动,这种生活方式为老年人提供了一个积极而有保障的退休生活。独立的生活公寓、套房和其他住宿将社会化、安全和保障都放在一个屋檐下,这样老年人就不必花时间在压力大的日常责任上,可以专注于愉快的独立生活。

An independent living retirement lifestyle is great for seniors who do not require a high level of personal support or care.

Active Living

As many studies show, maintaining an active lifestyle throughout retirement is essential to seniors’ overall health and happiness. As a retirement residence, seniors can enjoy a wide variety of activities, such as exercise classes, sports teams and clubs. Whatever your interest, there’s an activity to suit your needs and get the body and mind moving—from walking clubs to tai chi and AquaFit. Seniors can also take advantage of fitness centers and exercise machines that can help them to improve their endurance, flexibility and strength-building on their own schedule.

Social Fun

Physical activity is not the complete answer to health; a social lifestyle is also essential to good physical, emotional and cognitive wellness. There are so many different ways that seniors can spend time with friends – new and old – in their independent living retirement community. There are book clubs on the latest bestsellers, classic movie nights with popcorn, friendly competitive game nights and rewarding volunteer opportunities in the local community, just to name a few. Whatever activity is preferred, seniors in independent living retirement communities enjoy each other’s company and good conversation in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that supports rewarding relationships.
