What You Need To Know About 55 And Older Communities

By Eloise Hewitt


After attaining the age of 55, people find themselves in a new stage of life. Most of them are not as active as they were in their youth and their grown up children may have already left home. Adults who are fifty five years old or older may also look for new socialization, entertainment and recreation opportunities as well as ways to remain active in their communities. These opportunities are readily available at 55 and older communities. Seniors can choose to live in facilities that are near to the area where their friends and relatives live.

Retirement homes for people who are 55 years old or older allow residents to experience a new environment, meet new people and stay active by taking classes and engaging in sports, wellness and health programs in resort style settings. These homes allow seniors who have similar opinions to live close to each other and enjoy amenities that are specifically tailored towards them. The typical resident of such a facility is a senior who is independent.

Age restricted retirement communities also allow residents to rejuvenate and relax in retirement without worrying about maintaining a home or living alone. It is also not necessary for them to travel in order to participate in recreational activities. The residents of these facilities do not receive assistance in carrying out daily tasks.

The groundskeepers of retirement communities are responsible for maintaining the yards and home exteriors. Security personnel regularly patrol these facilities, which are designed to allow seniors to remain active and engaged. These facilities are also not medically centered meaning that they do not offer care for ill or disabled seniors. They only enable people who are fifty five years of age or older to live independently in an apartment, house or condominium.

Retirement facilities for active adults are usually located in scenic settings. This lets residents feel as though they are on a permanent vacation. When people retire, they should be able to relax and enjoy themselves. These facilities offer great leisure and relaxation opportunities for retirees. They are also designed to maximize comfort, safety and livability.

Age restricted retirement homes also provide residents with numerous amenities including buildings or centralized community centers that house fitness centers, swimming pools, hobby shops and movie theaters. These homes are usually within close proximity to libraries, churches, shopping centers and restaurants. Residents are therefore able to get to the places they frequent easily.

Life is always interesting in retirement facilities because they also offer varied and continuous socialization and entertainment opportunities. This includes musical and performance groups, special interest classes and recreation programs. The initial cost of joining a retirement community for people who are 55 or older is usually the same as that of renting or buying a home in the area.

Most retirement communities charge additional yearly or monthly fees to cover the costs of amenities and maintenance. Some of the factors that determine how much seniors pay to reside in a retirement community include the type of amenities provided and where the facility is located. Some retirement facilities like the Golden Girls housing arrangement appeal to people of one gender. Others such as senior communities are restricted to people who are 62 years old and above.
