You’ve reached retirement age, you’re not only ready to downsize, but you’re also ready to think about your future care needs. Is assisted living right for you?
Seven in ten people will need assisted living care in their lifetimes. Many people don’t realize until they start researching retirement community features how fun and exciting this transition can be.
We’re here to talk about the active adult community amenities you can expect from communities like Seaton Vorhees. From fitness programs to outings, we’re always looking for ways to increase our adult community perks. Read on to learn more.
Community Dining
Seniors living in assisted living communities can rely on staff members to fulfill many of their daily needs, including meal preparation. With the help of professional chefs, residents have access to three delicious meals a day. Not only can these meals improve nutritional balance, but our chefs make sure to account for specific dietary needs.
An essential community amenity is our group dining program, which encourages seniors to come together to enjoy their meals. Research shows that communal meals can improve nutritional intake and well-being. Many of our community members take their meals in our dining room at least once per day and love the opportunity to connect with their neighbors.
Clubs and Organizations
Our dining club is only the beginning of our community amenities that promote neighborly connections. Our seniors also enjoy a variety of clubs and organizations, many of which are started by the residents themselves. Some of the clubs and organizations residents have enjoyed include:
- Book clubs
- Film clubs
- Gardening clubs
- Religious groups
Active adult communities often feature clean and inviting common areas. At Seaton Vorhees, our dining room, library, and lounge are just a few of the spaces residents can use for club meetings. With enough notice, we can also provide transportation for club and organization outings.
Organized On-Campus Events
In addition to resident-led club meetings, staff members may organize regular activities for seniors to enjoy. On a daily basis, this may include things like television watch parties, arts and crafts classes, and game nights. At least once a month, residents can expect a bigger event like a musical performance or chef-led culinary class.
These events offer another opportunity for residents to go from neighbors to friends. Nothing makes bonding more natural than exploring shared interests together. With a wide variety of events to choose from, every resident is bound to find something that gets them excited.
Off-Campus Outings
Voorhees Township may be small, but there’s no shortage of things to do. Popular attractions include:
- Hiking spots like Stafford Trail and Hilliards Creek Wildlife Refuge
- Pine Valley Golf Club
- Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant
Plus, Vorhees Town Center offers tons of shopping and dining opportunities that Seaton Vorhees residents love. With so much to do, we’re always planning off-campus outings and finding ways to connect with our wider community. Plus, seniors can use our transportation services to schedule their own trips, whether alone or with a group.
Health and Fitness Programs
Maintaining physical fitness is an important part of preventative health care. As per federal guidelines, physical activity can:
- Lower your risk of heart disease and stroke
- Lower your risk of type 2 diabetes
- Reduced pain
- Improve mood
- Improve balance and strength
- Improve cognitive abilities related to thinking and learning
Seniors often need to modify their approach to exercise as they get older, accounting for changes in mobility and more. In an active senior community, health and fitness programs are a cornerstone of community life. Residents can attend health classes that align with their physical goals and abilities, from cardio to chair yoga.
Educational Opportunities
In retirement, seniors have the opportunity to engage with their passions and learn about new things. Keeping an active mind can be just as pleasurable and important as keeping an active body. That’s why our scheduled activities at Seaton Vorhees include:
- Guest lectures
- Trips to historically significant local attractions
- On-campus and off-campus plays and performances
- Hands-on classes
Our residents also have the privilege of taking their curiosity into their own hands. In addition to our well-stocked library, we provide high-speed WiFi connectivity across our entire campus. Seniors are free to conduct research, stream documentaries, and learn about new subjects.
Spiritual Support
The spiritual well-being of our senior community is important to us. No matter your religious or spiritual beliefs, you can often find opportunities to celebrate and practice them in an active adult retirement community.
Many of our community members still attend church services regularly and often go as a group. At Seaton Vorhees, we also offer a handful of on-campus religious services held in common areas.
We also enjoy seasonal holiday parties, which off-campus friends and family members are welcome to enjoy. Residents love the opportunity to celebrate familiar customs and learn new ones from their neighbors.
Casual Leisure
Though it may sound like your schedule will be packed from morning until night, there is plenty of time in a senior living community to enjoy casual leisure. Scenic walking paths surround many communities, allowing residents to enjoy light exercise on their own time. Private living quarters allow you to sit back and enjoy your favorite show or an afternoon read.
We also offer an on-campus salon and barbershop that you can take advantage of throughout the week. Many of our residents love the opportunity to practice self-care and pampering and our hairdressers leave their community clients satisfied.
