Many seniors who retire from their jobs also choose to retire from home maintenance. They want the freedom to enjoy their lives, so they opt to sell their homes and enjoy Independent Living in areas such as Elk Ridge Village. These communities provide advantages that include:
- COMFORTABLE APARTMENTS: Seniors can bring their own furniture, and personalize their apartment homes in planned communities. Apartments are available in a wide variety of floorplans and sizes. They range from 751 to 1281 square feet. All homes include a well-appointed kitchen, window coverings, and lots of storage space. They also offer Internet, phone, and television connections. Residents enjoy separately controlled A/C and heat units, as well as heated underground parking. They can even bring their small pets to live with them. Every apartment also provides the security of an emergency call system, fire detector and sprinklers.
- ACTIVITIES: Independent Living in a retirement community also offers planned activities and outings, free transportation, and access to a barber shop/beauty salon. Seniors enjoy housekeeping and maintenance services. They have access to a large, gracious community room, as well as a deli, bar & lounge, computer lab, and library. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and provide an ideal area for walking or just relaxing outdoors.
- DINING: Seniors can choose from menus created by chefs. These professionals serve delicious meals in a restaurant-style dining room.
- WELLNESS SERVICES: Elk Ridge Village residents have access to an on-site registered nurse, who can guide their health choices. Seniors who choose independent living also have priority access to assisted living services. The community offers Yoga and other exercise options, to help seniors stay active.
- EASY BUDGETING: Living in a planned retirement community also makes budgeting easier. Seniors know what their monthly housing expense will be, and that their utilities are included in that cost. Elk Ridge Village staff members also help residents get any financial benefits that they are entitled to, such as Veterans’ assistance.
Retirement communities are attracting many seniors today because the lifestyle offers so many advantages. Some of them include gracious apartments, security, a choice of activities, fine dining, wellness services, and easy budgeting.
