When seniors and their families come to me, it’s often because they’re ready to sell a home and downsize. They want easier living and prefer to spend less and money time maintaining their home. For some, that means looking at senior apartments.
The benefits? There are many. Here’s our Top 7.
- Frees up time. You don’t have to deal with homeowner responsibilities like repairs and maintaining the yard. You will have more time to spend on hobbies or with family and friends.
- Amenities. Many senior apartment communities these days come with a pool, hot tub, clubhouse, a gym, game room, and some even have on-site theaters or bowling alleys.
- Designed for seniors. Senior apartment designers usually have included features for seniors like grab bars in the bathroom, non-slip flooring, easy to reach cabinets, and other accessibility features.
- Social life. Senior apartment residents say that they appreciate living near others at the same phase of life. They enjoy social activities and gatherings together in the community.
- Transportation. You may find that the community provides transportation services to shopping centers, medical appointments and often day trips and excursions for residents.
- Security. Increasingly senior apartments have security in place to provide residents with peace of mind. The community may be gated or the buildings may have security. Most have cameras and lighting to provide a more secure environment.
- Progressive living. In our area, many senior apartments are located in communities that also offer other services as needed such as assisted living.
