How Your Active Adult Community Can Give You a Healthy Fun and Safe Summer
Empty-nesters and older adults are giving up their big suburban homes in the suburbs in favor of structured active adult communities. These facilities have many amenities that can make your life more fulfilling. Find out how you can take advantage of what your active adult community has to offer and have a healthy, fun, and safe summer.
Active Adult Communities Have Programs to Help Seniors Get Healthy
Studies have shown that staying active is one key to living a long and healthy life. That’s why many active adult communities have fitness centers, classes, and clubs all designed to help residents focus on their health.
Whether you need to adopt a new diet, increase your stability and flexibility, or build muscle, your active adult community may have the tools you need to achieve your goals. You may even have access to a nutritionist or personal trainer who can help you find a fitness plan that works for you.
Get Out and Have Fun with Day Trips and Excursions
Loneliness is the enemy of good health. Day trips and longer excursions bring fun new experiences and new friends into your life. Unfortunately, many empty-nesters find it hard to get motivated without the kids pushing them to get out of the house. They may not have ideas on where to go, or it may just be easier to put it off for another day.
Many active adult communities have groups that tour together – for hours or weeks at a time. Event coordinators put together the where, when, and how of your trips, so all you have to worry about is taking in the sights. By spending time with your neighbors you will build friendships and make your summers more fun.
Active Adult Communities Keep Residents’ Homes Safe During Summer Vacations
Sometimes, older adults don’t want to leave their homes because they are afraid something will happen while they are gone. What if a pipe bursts, or someone tries to break in? How will you know your belongings will be safe while you are away?
Because they are managed neighborhoods, active adult communities keep an eye on you and your home. If you will be away for a summer vacation you can ask the staff to check in on your home and make sure everything is safe and secure.
