Retirement Living In Today's Senior Communities

Retirement communities are no longer just destinations for those seniors looking to slow down. In fact, current trends suggest exactly the opposite to be true. As more than 77 million baby boomers reach retirement age, people are heading to senior communities well stocked with outdoor clubs more typical of the college than the traditional senior campus. People over 60 are also choosing to move earlier than ever to senior communities for security, personal safety, transportation, services, and to be closer to peers who share their passion for life.

"Seniors are more actively engaged in life," says Tim Burris, A Place For Mom's Market Development Coach for the Southeast region. "The clubs are responding by supplementing their staffs with independent activity directors to keep this new wave of seniors satisfied."

I agree, jemrich008.  Our community here in Missouri sounds similar to yours. We try everything we can using our local resources to help our residents remain independent for as long as possible. Sometimes it involves using supportive services. I am so pleased we have wonderful resources to pull from to keep our residents safe and happy at home in our community.
