A case to consider independent living sooner vs. later
Posted on September 26, 2023 in
Once you reach your retirement years, you most likely have more time for hobbies and social activities. Unfortunately, odds are that you might not be at the same stage of life as many of your neighbors, who may still be juggling work and family commitments. This can make it seem difficult to make friends and enjoy activities in your area. Luckily, life plan communities with independent living options like Ohio Living Lake Vista make it possible to socialize with both new and old friends, pursue interests and hobbies, access on-site services and support, and remain active.
“While considering your options, it’s important to find a community that best fits your needs, both for today and for years to come,” said Nicole Yozwiak, Director of Business Development at Ohio Living Lake Vista. “Many of residents express that they wish they’d moved in sooner to reap the many benefits independent living has to offer. We foster a special sense of community here with our full spectrum of amenities, activities and maintenance-free living services.”
A move into independent living can take away the normal day-to-day stressors of owning a home. Ohio Living Lake Vista’s villa and apartment homes provide freedom from home upkeep and maintenance. Housing options offer a unique range of sizes, designs, features, services and amenities, complete with maintenance support, and seasonal snow/leaf removal. Independent living residents may also elect to have prepared meals and housekeeping services, at an additional cost.
Social opportunities such as volunteering, day trips, trips to museums or symphonies, special interest clubs and more, are another huge plus. Residents can participate in on-site technology classes, book reviews and lifelong learning seminars on a variety of interesting topics. In addition to planned activities, the community boasts many on-site amenities for residents’ convenience and enjoyment, including a chapel, fitness center, walking path and barber shop/beauty salon. The ability to find everything you need right in your neighborhood is not only convenient, but also encourages residents to be self-sufficient and independent, while enjoying the perks of close-knit community.
“Our residents enjoy a lifestyle focused on all four of these key elements: physical, intellectual, social and spiritual engagement, making our community a great, well-rounded choice,” added Yozwiak.
