6 Best Independent Living Services and Amenities You Should Know About
Retirement is your time to relax and enjoy what you’ve earned, and for many older adults, that means a carefree lifestyle without the burdens of home maintenance. An independent living community offers maintenance-free living plus a robust lineup of amenities designed to make life easier and more enjoyable. Having access to high-quality independent living amenities really elevates the day-to-day experience of living in a senior living community.
We put together this list of independent living services and amenities to look for in your search for senior living:
1. A Picturesque Campus
A beautifully maintained campus helps you stay connected with the outdoors, providing opportunities to gather with friends and explore nature on your own. With lawn mowing and groundskeeping provided by a professional team, you can enjoy the beautiful landscape without having to lift a finger. Explore the breathtaking natural beauty of 20 wooded acres with gardens, courtyards, and walking paths on our campus in Birmingham’s Riverchase area.
2. Exceptional Dining
There’s no need to bother with cooking when you have an amazing selection of chef-prepared meals made with fresh and local ingredients. You’ll enjoy gourmet meals every day when you live in a senior living community with multiple on-site dining venues and menu options. Our innovative dining program at Galleria Woods offers fine dining and casual fare, with an ever-changing menu and options to accommodate special dietary needs.
3. Housekeeping
Moving to a senior living community frees you from the heavy lifting of household chores so you can spend more time doing what you wantt. Our weekly housekeeping and flat linen service lightens the load of chores on your to-do list, so you can devote more time to leisure activities and relaxation.
4. Wellness Opportunities
Your health is the most valuable asset you have, and it’s wise to choose a retirement community where taking care of your health comes naturally. The best communities have a holistic approach to wellness that incorporates a range of activities focused on physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of health and well-being. Convenient access to a pool and fitness center, exercises classes and wellness programs can help you stay on top of your health at any age.
