Today s older adults are healthier and more energetic than ever.
That change is reflected in today s retirement communities. They are geared to helping seniors live the good life and focus on activities they enjoy without being tied down by the responsibilities of home ownership. Although many seniors are reluctant to live anywhere but the family home, they are now attracted to the array of services and social activities that can be enjoyed with their peers in these communities. A growing number of older adults now see having less responsibility and activity-filled social calendars as very inviting. Nonetheless, the decision to move is a hard one.
