Independent living in Gainesville, FL, allows you or a loved one to live in harmony with a team that offers support tailored to your unique needs. We can either help you keep your routine exactly as it is or provide options to address some of the challenges retirement might pose.
Our private senior apartments suit a variety of lifestyles. At the same time, our proximity to everyday amenities outside our community means you can reach them easily or see them with your family when they visit.
Given the wide range of long-term senior care options in the United States, it's essential to understand how one set of retirement housing compares to another.
In The Atrium at Gainesville, our residents live in private apartments with complete autonomy and privacy. Seniors living with us direct their own schedules, choose the activities they wish to engage in, and enjoy a fulfilling life within our community.
At the same time, for those who wish to use them, we offer various support services.
Each of these supportive services can be tailored to your needs as required.
Those who choose to live in Florida in their retirement do so because they fully understand the opportunities available to them. The whole peninsula enjoys some of the most abundant sunshine in the country, supporting outdoor experiences year-round, even during the milder winters.
Active retirement communities, such as The Atrium at Gainesville, offer many options for residents looking to try new experiences, too. There are dozens of activities and events within a community like ours, and we are constantly looking for new ways to ensure our residents have options for entertainment and personal development.
Keeping your mind and body at their peak doesn't stop when you retire. Staying healthy post-work also involves continuing to grow and change while enjoying your life.
It doesn't matter if a senior staying with us has only just retired and has various skills to boast of, or if someone wants to start a new art or craft. Either way, we can likely support it in some way, whether that's with our own equipment or simply by offering space for someone to start learning something new.
However, we may draw the line at building a new motorbike from scratch within one of our community spaces.
While many seniors choose aging in place for all sorts of reasons, we encourage those approaching retirement to consider what life would be like if someone did all the difficult things for them. You could then use your retirement as you always wanted to, whether that means socializing, taking up that creative writing project you've always wanted to start, or pursuing a hobby you never had time for before.
There is no single answer to this question. It relates more to when you think you might need or want a little help enjoying or making the most of your retirement.
As a baseline, you should consider moving when keeping up with home chores starts to crowd out all the other activities you care about.
If you move into a community such as ours earlier, remember that you will have the opportunity to engage and integrate socially more easily. The logistics will be simpler, and you can enjoy the opportunities of retirement without worrying about another move later on.
Of course, you should discuss the logistics of these options with others as well. Whether that be your loved ones and family, or an accountant, others will likely have valuable insights.
In theory, we offer everything to all residents to encourage independence among everyone who lives with us. Of course, we may occasionally need to put away specific equipment, and you may not be able to get it out unless a trained professional is in the room.
However, several of the options you have available include:
At the same time, each of these can receive support from our staff in the form of advice on where it would be best to do it in our community. We may also be able to inform others that you are interested in others joining you, if you want to make it a social event.
Also, if your needs suddenly increase, speak to our staff to learn about other options available to you.
Make sure you understand what your list of both needs and wants is before you start looking for senior independent living apartments that meet them. However, we are confident we can meet many of your requirements with our wide range of features and ongoing support for seniors.
