A New Chapter of Life…What’s in Your Future?

By Catherine Campbell

Why not start the New Year by considering your future. What does the next chapter look like for you? If you are planning to downsize soon, a senior’s lifestyle apartment might just be the solution for you! Retirement Living is all about making plans, taking charge, and enjoying life to the fullest. Living at The Berkeley is the perfect way to enjoy an active life in a socially engaged community while reaping the benefits included in your rent. No need to expend energy grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning when you could use your free time for more gratifying pursuits with friends.

If the pandemic has taught us one thing, it is the importance of social interaction for overall health and wellness. Sitting alone at home is not good for physical, mental, or emotional wellbeing. Now more than ever, we need to consider the idea of congregate living as we age. Living in an organized community is simply a convenient way to have everything you need under one roof with assistance at your fingertips, if and when needed. Having that support improves quality of life and overall health which, by extension, reduces the need for medical intervention.  

Living in a seniors’ apartment community, like The Berkeley, allows seniors their independence, while also supporting their current or future needs. The included benefits of retirement living are many, but the standouts are delicious and healthy meals in a full-service dining room, daily activities, and weekly housekeeping. With meals and housekeeping taken care of by us, residents have additional energy to participate in group activities or to enjoy favourite solitary pursuits such as reading, puzzles, a hobby or chatting with friends.

One of the organic benefits of a retirement community is that you can find friends with whom to engage no matter the time of day or weather conditions. There are no constraints except those you put in place for yourself. So, if quiet time is what you need, it is always available in your own apartment. Retirement living is the best of both worlds and the perfect way to start a new chapter of life! Consider a move to The Berkeley and age with confidence amongst friends!
