One of the most common questions we hear is, “What is the right age to move into a retirement community?” While there’s no one answer that fits everyone, the sooner you make the move, the sooner you can enjoy all that life at senior living communities like San Marino Retirement Community in Westminster, CO, has to offer.
Is There a “Right” Age for Senior Living?
Most retirement communities, including San Marino, begin welcoming residents at 55 years and up. Rather than focusing on a specific number, it’s more helpful to ask when the time is right for you, based on your goals, health, and lifestyle.
The best age to move into independent living is often earlier than people expect. Many soon-to-be residents wait until a health event or major life change forces the decision, but moving proactively, while you’re active and independent, means you get to enjoy the community to the fullest for years to come. Here’s what awaits residents who make the move sooner:
A Vibrant Social Life
Many older adults experience loneliness and isolation during retirement, especially for those living alone. At San Marino Retirement Community, residents enjoy daily opportunities to connect. Start your day with our Morning Coffee Club, meet up with fellow residents for happy hours and game nights, or join art classes, cooking clubs, and community outings into Westminster. The earlier you move, the more you can build lasting friendships and fill your social calendar with our exciting activities and events.
Health and Wellness, Built Right In
San Marino’s Wellness Program supports your body and mind with fully equipped fitness centers, walking and hiking paths, group exercise classes, and access to personal training. We also offer lifelong learning opportunities so you can keep your mind fit and engaged with history classes, computer classes, and book clubs. Moving to senior living makes it easier to live a healthy lifestyle in all dimensions of wellness.
Hassle-Free, Maintenance-Free Living
Say goodbye to home maintenance, snow removal, and yard work. San Marino offers weekly housekeeping, 24/7 staff, and numerous amenities just steps from your door. Enjoy chef-prepared dining options available throughout the day and everything you need to stay active and energized, without the hassle of cooking. Moving sooner means stress-free living and more time to spend exactly how you want.
Peace of Mind for the Future
Perhaps the biggest advantage of moving early is the peace of mind it brings. San Marino offers a full continuum of care, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. Enjoy the comfort of knowing that if your needs ever change, you’ll have access to personalized care right where you already call home.
Signs It Might Be Time to Consider a Move
While there’s no wrong time to explore senior living, common reasons to move include:
- You’re craving more social connection, activities, or variation in your day.
- You want to take advantage of an active and engaging retirement lifestyle, surrounded by others with similar interests.
- You still feel confident in your health, but you’ve begun to wonder if having support available should you need it would provide a sense of security.
- You’re spending more time on home maintenance and chores, and would rather spend time pursuing hobbies, socializing, or simply relaxing.
- You’re thinking about downsizing to a home that better fits your current lifestyle, and wonder if a move to senior living would be more convenient.
