Let’s have a show of hands of those who have lived in apartment complexes or condos. There was probably a swimming pool, and there may or may not have been walking trails or paths, yes? Today’s condos and apartment complexes include media rooms, gyms, and sometimes a business center. How do they differ from retirement living in Delray Beach, FL?

Society

The answer is society. You make friends sometimes with neighbors in the apartment complex or condos. Your kids and their kids play together, swim together, and get into trouble together. That’s pretty much the extent of the socialization.

In retirement living facilities, though, society is the most important thing. There are activities planned such as movie night, dance night, trips to nearby attractions, and shopping trips. Residents make friends and socialize. Seniors living in apartment complexes or condos don’t have these chances to be a part of something fun. Life is lonesome for them.

Health and Wellness

Not many seniors get themselves motivated to get outside and take a walk, get a workout at the local gym, or take up yoga. Most don’t have a workout buddy. It’s just easier to sit in front of the tube and vegetate.

Retirement living in Delray Beach, FL, provides exercise facilities with machines all seniors can use. Discover the rush that comes from endorphins flooding your brain as you make the elliptical sing. Feel the calm as you participate in yoga classes. Ordinary apartment complexes can’t match this!

Fine Dining

Only visiting hotels gives you chef-created fine dining choices. You won’t find that in ordinary apartment complexes. Do you love Taco Tuesday? Would you be the first in the door for spaghetti night? How about barbecue night complete with grilled corn on the cob and Southern potato salad? We offer much more, so call or visit the website to learn more about it.
