Seniors that want to age in place but don’t want the hassle of maintaining a large single family home may find that senior condo living is the best choice for them. There are a lot of benefits for seniors that come along with buying a condo for their Golden years and there are some benefits for you too. You won’t have to worry as much about your senior parents if they are living in a condo community instead of living alone in the large old single family home where you grew up. Personal care at home and living in a community can give seniors just the right mix of assistance and independence to be happy as they get older.
One of the biggest benefits of condo living is that your senior loved ones won’t have to do any difficult or expensive maintenance on their home. You won’t have to worry about making sure their driveway is shoveled or plowed or that the yard is mowed in the summer. And they won’t have to worry about what they would do if the house needed a new roof or new siding. The stress free living of being in a condo community can make life much easier for your senior parents.
It’s much easier for seniors to stay social and meet new people in a senior condo community where the other people who live in the community are also seniors. They will be able to meet their neighbors easily through activities and just being out in the community. And you will get the peace of mind of knowing that the personal care at home provider isn’t the only person that your parents are interacting with on a daily basis.
The range of activities that senior condo communities offer will provide enough entertainment to make sure that your senior parents aren’t bored. Some communities have fitness classes that are designed to motivate seniors to get moving. Others have music classes, bands that come play, arts and crafts activities, book clubs, and more. Senior condo communities have a wide range of activities that will give seniors the chance to make friends and spend time with people right in their own backyard.
Senior condos are generally designed to fit the needs of seniors as they age. That means that the bathrooms, hallways, and other spaces are ADA compliant and have enough room for a wheelchair or a walker if your senior loved one needs a wheelchair or a walker. They also usually have features like easily accessible switches, lowered countertops, and easy to reach shelving.
The amenities that most senior condo communities offer are ideal for seniors. Many communities have a pool, walking paths, gyms, a community center, a hot tub, tennis courts, and a coffee shop. There are plenty of activities for seniors that will keep them active and social and they are all free for seniors to enjoy as part of their condo fees.
