Re-imagine Age and Stage – Love Where You Are Right Now
By Catherine Campbell
Retirement is a stage of life spanning several decades and it is characterized by ongoing changes in lifestyle and personal needs. From a current quality-of-life and future preparation perspective, retirement living is an ideal solution for making the very best of your age and stage. Moving to a retirement community is a forward-thinking strategy that allows you to live well now while preparing for future changes. It’s a time to welcome the freedom of retirement and recognize, with gratitude, the opportunity to spend time focusing on yourself and doing what brings you personal happiness.Shifting from one stage to another signifies the end of something familiar and the beginning of something new. As life changes, it is beneficial to concentrate on the positive aspects and possibilities of that stage. We have all moved to a new home to better suit our stage of life and this later stage is no different. It is a time to downsize and free yourself from household responsibilities in exchange for a living arrangement that can improve the quality of your life.
Belonging to a retirement community provides seniors the camaraderie of like-minded people in a similar stage of life and that can have a powerful and positive effect on overall health and wellness. Residents of The Berkeley have embraced the simplicity of this later stage of life by choosing to live without the worries of household maintenance, grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning. A retirement living community – apartment living with included benefits – is the perfect way to get everything you need in one place.
