With the sun shining and summer in full swing, there’s no better time to soak up the beautiful weather! Nestled in picturesque Westminster, CO, San Marino offers countless ways to make the most of the sunny season — whether you’re enjoying the outdoors or heading inside to stay cool. Here are some of our favorite summertime activities for seniors at San Marino and around the local community, along with helpful tips to stay refreshed and beat the heat!
Keep Cool by Starting Your Day Early
In Westminster, CO, summer temperatures often peak in the afternoon — making the morning and evening ideal times to get outside and stay active while also staying safe from the sun and high temps. Starting your day with a walk, light gardening, or a peaceful moment on the patio can help you enjoy the season without the summer heat becoming overwhelming.
Nestled on 10 beautiful acres of park-like land, San Marino Retirement Community is perfectly situated to take advantage of Colorado’s natural beauty. Residents enjoy manicured walking paths, courtyard and garden beds, koi ponds, and more. For even more variety, Lake Arbor, Standley Lake, and multiple golfing options are all located just a short drive away.
If you do head out when the sun is strong, be sure to bring water, wear a hat, stick to shady areas, and apply sunscreen. Staying protected from the sun and hydrated are key parts of enjoying a safe and healthy summer.
Take the Fun Indoors
When the summer heat rises or the weather takes a turn, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy all the indoor senior activities San Marino has to offer. Stay active with a fitness class at our on-site wellness center, challenge a friend to a game of poker, stop by one of our many social groups, or host a lunch party! Don’t feel like cooking? Relax and catch up with friends over a delicious meal in the dining room.
No matter the heat or rain outside, there’s always something fun to discover at San Marino.
