How to Maintain Independence in a Senior Center

As we grow in age, we are used to gaining more and more independence. However, once we enter our golden years, this independence may feel threatened as we need more well-earned help. However, independence shouldn’t be taken away just because you need a little help. A senior center, like The Windsor Senior Living Community on the Northshore, is focused on delivering necessary support to help seniors protect their autonomy over their lives. 

The adjustment can be difficult for some. As a result, they may find it hard to maintain their independence in the midst of so much change. However, here is some essential advice from The Windsor to help you maintain all the things seniors love about their lifestyle.

Remain Social

One of the best benefits of joining our senior center on the Northshore is the vast community you join. The other residents of senior living communities often have the same worries as you—that joining a senior living c

enter won’t be as fun as they’d like. But did you know that once the transition period is over, most residents of senior living centers wish they had moved into these communities sooner? It’s true! 

 

Often, these senior living centers are filled with fun events and activities for residents to fill their social calendars with. This could be anything from regularly scheduled trips to the movies, mall, and casinos or fun events like wine tastings! Senior living centers are focused on improving the quality of life for their residents. Generally, they often even hire event and activity coordinators to make sure there is a fun event for all residents! 

Be Active!

Another important way to keep independence in your life when you move into senior living is to remain active and join events that focus on your wellness. It has been proven that seniors who stay active have a higher chance of remaining healthy longer. In fact, the CDC recommends that adults over the age of 65 get a minimum of 150 minutes of physical activity per week. This can average to around 30 minutes a day for five days a week.

Keep Up With Your Hobbies

It is no secret that our hobbies and passions are some of the things that can make us the happiest. From bird watching to golf and fashion, there are countless interests to motivate you to look forward to the day each morning.
