Whether you are looking to downsize your current place, or you know an older adult who is struggling with living on their own, our team at RosePointe Senior Living can help you figure out if independent senior living apartments are the right fit for you through this guide.
What is a Senior Living Apartment?
Senior living apartments are living spaces that are equipped for older adults. You’ll find that they are built like a community, where residents have easy access to their neighbors as well as amenities such as meals, housekeeping, and recreational, spiritual, and educational programming. This allows residents to live both independently and conveniently.
Why Should You Move to a Senior Living Apartment?
There comes a point in our lives where we find difficulty managing everyday tasks in our homes. This could be because of physical limitations or due to the loss of a significant other, and independent senior living apartments are built with these aspects in mind.
These are some things you may have least expected about senior living apartments.
- You’ll have access to amenities. Community activities such as games, cooking clubs, and happy hours keep residents engaged in a senior living apartment complex. You may also have perks such as free transportation to shopping malls and medical appointments, fitness classes, and paved paths to stroll on.
- You’ll have a kitchen where you can cook your own meals. Many senior living apartment units have kitchens or kitchenettes where you can cook up your favorite dishes. If you prefer not to cook, you can take advantage of chef prepared meals in a bistro or dining room setting.
- Many utilities and services might be included. This is to ensure that residents are not affected by fluctuating bills, especially during the winter months. Utilities such as heat, AC, water, and sewer are often included.
- You may have an outdoor space. Senior living communities often have private balconies and patios so that you can enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. They also have landscaped courtyards and paved walking paths for you to enjoy a leisurely walk.
