Many people still believe that retirement communities are medical environments, focused primarily on meeting the health needs of the elderly. However, modern retirement communities, such as Orchard Crest Retirement Community in Spokane, are a far cry from that stereotype. In fact, their Independent Living options read more like a list of country club amenities. Some of the advantages they provide include:
-
A CHOICE OF APARTMENTS: Residents who choose Independent Living can select from a variety of apartment size, and several floorplans. These homes are spacious and attractive, with window coverings, and fully-appointed, modern kitchens. Housekeeping, utility costs, and maintenance are included in the monthly apartment cost. Every home also has an Internet, television, and phone connection. Residents have plenty of storage space and large closets. Sprinklers and fire detectors are installed in apartments, and every resident has easy access to help when they need it. Seniors even have the option to bring their small pets along, to live with them.
-
COMMUNITY AMENITIES: Seniors in a retirement community, such as Orchard Crest Retirement Community, can enjoy a busy, interesting social life. Trained staff arrange outings and activities. Seniors may take advantage of the bar/lounge, community room, computer lab, and library. They have access to free transportation, and their own barber shop/hair salon. They can stay healthy and active at the exercise and wellness center. There is also a chapel on site.
-
FINE DINING: Residents of a planned community enjoy chef-planned and prepared meals. Seniors can choose from a menu, and enjoy dining in a cheerful restaurant-style dining room.
-
WELLNESS SERVICES: Orchard Crest Retirement Community coordinators will tailor a wellness program for each resident, according to their choices and capabilities. Seniors may stay fit with the community’s treadmills, steppers, stationary bikes, free weights, and more. There are walking paths, for outdoor exercise. Activities also include line dancing, Tai Chi, Yoga, stretch classes and more. Every resident also has easy access to medical staff.
Seniors today move into planned retirement communities because they offer relaxed lifestyles and gracious amenities. Residents also value the gracious apartments, lively social activities, wellness options, and fine dining. Retirement communities provide security and quick access to medical help.
