Deciding to move on from being a homeowner and joining an independent senior living community doesn’t have to be a hard decision. With so many new options, the perfect solution is out there!
A senior living community is an excellent choice for those who are ready to say goodbye to regular household chores like cooking and cleaning, combined with a social, active, and safe lifestyle.
What is Independent Senior Living?
First: independent senior living is NOT a nursing home.
Independent senior housing options at New Perspective Senior Living offer seniors the opportunity to stay as independent as possible while maintaining a sense of community. It’s like moving into an apartment where all your needs are taken care of, and all you have to do is socialize and have fun!
Our independent living residents enjoy:
- A variety of dining plans to suit your lifestyle
- Delicious, chef-cooked meals
- Field trips, lectures, on-site events, and classes
- Groups, clubs, and resident committees
- Fitness classes and gyms
- Warm water pools
- High-speed internet
- Transportation services
- On-site healthcare
- Beautifully manicured outdoor spaces
- Libraries
- Pubs
- Movie theaters
And so much more!
You can do as much or as little as you like. Go to every class and lecture, or just spend your days hanging out with new friends at the pub! Use our transportation services to go shopping or enjoy a book from our library in the comfort of your own apartment! The choice is always yours.
Is Independent Senior Living Right for Me or My Loved One?
We know that leaving a home you’ve lived in for years – maybe decades – can be a big change. But we also know that you’re an active and energetic senior who’s ready for the next exciting phase of your life.
Consider whether you’re someone who:
- Enjoys planned social activities with other seniors
- Doesn’t need daily assistance but wants to have trained staff on hand for emergencies
- Feels your current home is just too big
- Wants the option to have home-cooked meals without doing any of the work
- Wants to maintain your ability to come and go as you please without assistance or permission
- Is ready to give up the chores and upkeep of your old home while staying social and active
- Wants to make new friends who enjoy the same activities you do
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then independent senior living is probably right for you!
