Where to live after 55?

In this day and age, we are seeing more senior adult communities popping up all across the country. We are aware that there is a large number of baby boomers in the United States and the senior population is only going to increase. The numbers are in. And, it is projected that the number of senior citizens will double by 2030. With the increase of our seniors we see a surge in ways to ensure that seniors can maintain the lifestyle and independence they want.

Seniors are getting active and keeping a quality of life by choosing to live in a community where there are people of like interests and many activities to keep them fulfilled. These communities include walking paths, pools, theaters, pet parks, libraries and fitness centers. Some of these communities have chapels as well. There are many other advantages to living in a 55 and older community. One favorite is that the lawn care is included. Also, the homes are designed for aging individuals and some units include special assisted living or an Alzheimer's or memory care areas.

Senior Living Communities are designed for a community of comfort and to be surrounded with a rich environment of social and cultural events. Keeping our bodies and our minds active are important for a healthy and whole life as we age. Fitness programs, nutrition presentations, live music and entertainment, and dining are all perks for living in a 55+ Community. Getting a few years on us doesn't have to take away who we are or the things we enjoy. We are never too old to be adventurous and certainly never too old to learn something new and live a little..or a lot.
