Finding the right living arrangements as a senior can be difficult – especially if you want to retain your independence. There are plenty of continuing care communities, but what about homes for seniors who can still live on their own and simply want to be part of a community made for them?
If that sounds like you, it may be time to look into independent senior living communities in the Twin Cities!
What Independent Senior Living Communities Do
A senior living community is a combination apartment complex and campus, an all-in-one community built specifically for seniors. Unlike continuing care communities, you don’t have costs for licensing and on-site skilled nursing to support or cultures that feel more like assisted living. You maintain your privacy, live your own life, but still having access to helpful services when you need them.
It’s the perfect option for seniors who can still care for themselves but want to get away from the difficulties and work that comes from living alone. At an independent senior living community, you’ll be part of a thriving community of people just like you, enjoying your retirement years.
What Do You Get at A MSP Senior Living Community?
For starters, you can bring your furnishings to your beautiful apartment, typically with both one- or two-bedroom options. At RosePointe, we also allow you to make your apartment your home should you want upgrades to appliances, fixtures, flooring, paint, etc.
You also receive far more senior-specific services than you would get from a standard residential apartment or condo complex. These communities are built with your needs in mind. Just some of the standard services and amenities include:
- Weekly housekeeping services
- Maintenance and repair services
- A set number of prepared meals each month
- Free transportation services to points of interest and important services around the Twin Cities
- Easy access to basic medical care on-site
- Utilities, including power, water, cable TV, and Internet services
In addition, the larger campus has a huge range of services and activities. You get recreational areas, and rooms that can be reserved for parties and other events. You’ll have access to fitness facilities as well, with trainers, all set up specifically for the needs of older people looking to maintain their mobility and fitness.
There are on-site shopping and beauty services as well. You might not even need to leave the campus to get everything you need!
And perhaps most importantly, you’ll be part of a true community. Loneliness is one of the biggest threats to senior health. You’ll be surrounded by people just like you, forming friendships, and taking pride in your lives. The mental benefits of living in an independent senior community can be just as good as the physical and mental benefits.
