Many seniors have the perception that a retirement community is equivalent to the dreaded “old folks home.” However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Today’s retirement communities are full of fun activities, services and amenities designed to promote the utmost independence and privacy for residents.
Your Own Apartment
Retirement communities are designed with your privacy in mind. When you move in, your apartment is just that, yours. Feel free to decorate however you like by painting, hanging photos or redecorating to make it feel more like your own.
Don’t forget, however, you are renting your space. Be sure to ask before making any dramatic changes to your apartment.
Travel Anywhere, Anytime
Did you know you can keep your car when you move into a retirement community? Retirement living provides residents with ample parking and carports so they can come and go as they please. Even if you don’t feel like driving, most communities offer complimentary transportation services to take you wherever you want within a certain distance.
