Retirement and the luxury of time it brings is one of life’s greatest joys. One of the most important factors in what your later years will look like is where you plan to live them. Living in a senior living community provides you with an engaging, worry-free lifestyle, with days to fill as you like. Exploring where to choose? Here are the essential factors to consider:
Location
A good location, one that provides you with amenities and the lifestyle you want, is crucial when deciding where to live. Do you want a getaway with natural beauty or an urban respite? Consider what services are available in the larger area. A community located near healthcare facilities, shopping districts, outdoor activities, and cultural venues will give you access to off-site resources and activities. On-site, it may be important to choose a community with solid safety features, including parking, surveillance cameras, and a dedicated security staff.
Nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Westminster, CO, San Marino’s 10-acre campus offers beautiful courtyards with raised garden beds, Koi ponds, and walking paths surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. The unique beauty of Colorado and the Rocky Mountains is located just a short drive away, as well as the vibrant local community and nearby cities of Arvada, Broomfield, and Denver.
Residence Options
What type of home are you looking for? One bedroom? Two? Are you looking to downsize, or need an open floor plan layout? Consider the different living options available. At San Marino, residents can select from three different types of residences: patio homes, estates, and apartments.
Hassle-Free Living
The luxury of time is one of retirement’s greatest blessings. When exploring your options, consider whether the community offers amenities like laundry services and housekeeping. Not in the mood to cook dinner? Check out what dining choices are available, and if different dietary restrictions can be catered to.
Campus Amenities
Today’s modern senior living communities offer more than just a place to live. Campuses like San Marino’s offer convenient amenities like a fitness center, walking trails, and libraries, to name just a few. Schedule a tour, and see firsthand what life could be like at your community of choice.
Activities, Events, and Adventures
A well-designed retirement community will offer a rich, wide variety of activities and engaging events, with ample social opportunities to spend time with old friends and make new connections. Take a look at the clubs and groups. Are there a variety of different hobbies and activities? What exercise classes are available? Are there frequent movie showings or guest speakers? Explore the activities calendar, and see what activities you’d like to try.
Health Services
As you age, your health care requirements may evolve. Having flexible health services available on-campus or in-home allows you to age in place and continue to enjoy your social life right in your community. These could include rehab services, medication management, and mobility assistance. Consider what assisted living or memory care options are available and whether those are covered by an entrance free or are additional costs when needed.
Financial Requirements
What is your budget for this new chapter of your life? It’s important to find a community that offers a pricing structure, such as rental or entrance fee, and payment options that fit your needs, while still providing you a high-quality life with undue financial stress.
