Having the amenities you enjoy and the social environment that fosters engagement are key factors to making the most of your senior living lifestyle.  In this article, we explore tips to help you transition and make the most of your new life!

Do you remember the first day of school?  You were probably anxious, unsure of what was to come and perhaps wondering how you would fit in and how you would get to know your way around your new school.  Many of us face the same challenges when moving to a new way of life in retirement.  So the first step is to acknowledge those fears and begin to take small steps to put them behind you.

  1. Establish a new routine or hobby. Whether you read the newspaper first thing every day, take a morning stroll, or just relax and perhaps meditate by the water, find something that can help you create a new routine that you enjoy.
  1. Try something new!  Most senior living communities have plenty of activities and events scheduled throughout the day.  Why not try something new?  This will keep you busy, meeting new people, and may even provide some daily exercise.
  1. Get involved! Humans are social creatures.  It’s important to develop and maintain relationships with others in your community.  It can actually increase your life span!  So, volunteer to serve on a committee, join in a game of cards, or arrange to meet a fellow resident for coffee!

Just like that first day of school, you will likely be making new friends and enjoying your new way of life in no time at all!
