When you picture your ideal retirement lifestyle, do you imagine hours spent mowing the lawn or scrubbing the shower? Probably not. The beauty of a residential living community is that it gives you back time and energy so you can fully enjoy your passions, hobbies and friendships – without being bogged down by chores and maintenance. Let’s explore how a move to a maintenance-free lifestyle in an apartment or villa can be the best way to enjoy your retirement years sooner and more fully.
Reclaim Your Time for What Matters
In a traditional home, maintaining a comfortable lifestyle demands significant time and effort. According to Business Wire, many younger seniors spend at least six hours a week on housekeeping, eight hours on meal prep and cooking and one and a half hours on lawn care. That’s a total of 62 hours each month dedicated to upkeep instead of enjoying retirement. When you move to a Life Plan Community, you get to reclaim this time because these tasks are taken care of by professionals. Imagine having an extra 62 hours each month for yourself – time that can go towards your favorite activities, learning something new or simply relaxing with friends.
Leave the Maintenance to Us
One of the most significant perks of a residential living community is the lack of home maintenance seniors must take care of. Say goodbye to fixing leaky faucets, cleaning gutters or arranging appliance repairs. The team takes care of all household maintenance, ensuring that everything in your living space is in top condition without any effort on your part. Plus, weekly housekeeping and fresh linens keep your home feeling clean and refreshed. The convenience and peace of mind that comes with a maintenance-free lifestyle are invaluable, especially as it frees up your day to focus on what truly brings you joy.
Chef-Prepared Dining and Casual Bistro Options
Cooking at home can take up a lot of time, especially if you enjoy preparing a variety of healthy, delicious meals. Here, dining options range from chef-prepared meals to casual bistro-style dining, so you can enjoy flavorful, nutritious food without the hassle of cooking or cleanup. Whether you’re in the mood for a sit-down dinner with friends or a quick bite before heading to an activity off the monthly calendar, the resort-style dining options are designed to make mealtimes both enjoyable and effortless.
Lawn Care and Beautiful Landscaping – Without the Work
Many of us love the look of a beautifully landscaped lawn but not the hours it takes to maintain it. Luckily upscale retirement communities like ours offer professionally maintained landscaping, meaning you get to enjoy green, lush surroundings year-round without lifting a finger. Relax on your patio with a good book, host friends outdoors or simply enjoy the view without the burden of weekly lawn care.
All the Amenities, Right at Your Doorstep
Rather than spending time driving around town, you’ll have access to a fitness center, gym, pool, salon, barber shop, art studio and libraries – all just steps from your door. This setup not only adds convenience to your daily life but also provides countless opportunities to socialize, stay active and enjoy new experiences.
