4 Reasons Moving to a Senior Living Community Is Less Stressful Than You Think

Moving into a senior living community is a life-changing decision, and while we believe it’s one of the best decisions you can make, it also carries a certain amount of stress. However, there are some things that make the move easier, especially when you choose a supportive retirement community. Continue reading to discover some of the ways that your choice of community can help make your transition easier, including move-in coordinators, wellness and relaxation resources, varied community activities, and an abundance of resort-style amenities.

Front Desk Services

It’s worth checking in with the Front Desk Receptionist when you first arrive at a senior living community. They can help you make dinner reservations and book wellness services, while also scheduling things like transportation or housekeeping. All of these personal touches go a long way toward easing your days immediately following your move.

Your new community team members are more than happy to help support you in your transition to your new home. They also can provide recommendations for relaxation and enjoyment.

Wellness & Relaxation Resources

Most modern senior living communities offer a mix of wellness options that support your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Whatever support you need to adjust to your new lifestyle, you’ll more than likely find it on-site at your community. Examples of stress-relieving services include a massage at the spa, painting in the art studio, or even an outdoor walking meditation session.

We think you’ll find these and other services and amenities available at high-end senior living communities offer an enjoyable escape from the stress of moving. You can direct any questions you have about community offerings to your move-in coordinator or reception services team.

Community Activities

Community activities are a great way to meet people and pursue your interests once you have settled in at your community of choice. We find that many senior living residents discover they have time to reconnect or engage more fully with the things they care most about once they arrive. Browse your community’s calendar of activities to find what interests you from lectures to musical performances. These types of activities can stimulate the mind and relieve stress.

And if you’re looking to meet people and socialize, consider signing up for a group fitness class, making some time to meet with a member of our resident-led welcoming committee, or simply joining a happy hour to mingle with other like-minded and engaging individuals.

News residents who embrace community life often see their stress melt away.

Resort-Style Living

Enjoying the finer things in life is another great way to unwind after your move to senior living and your community’s line-up of services and amenities likely offers plenty of options. You may be surprised by all of the resort-style services and amenities that senior living can provide, such as indoor heated pools, varied wellness programming, and even an on-site salon and spa.

You could easily spend your first months at your choice of high-end senior living community exploring and taking advantage of all of the on-site amenities that you’ll have access to.
