Deciding to move into an independent living community is an important step — one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. But how do you know when it’s the best time to do this? There are many things to consider when contemplating this decision, and we know it can sometimes feel overwhelming. So, to help make the process easier, here’s a look at four signs that could be telling you you’re ready to embrace a new chapter in your life.
- Simplified, stress-free living sounds increasingly more appealing. Cooking, cleaning, yardwork and home maintenance? You can leave your to-do list behind with the carefree appeal of an independent living community. At Marquette, we like to think of it as the ultimate win-win. Living in a cottage home or senior apartment within a retirement community gives you the freedom and independence that’s important to you, without the time-consuming hassle of home ownership.
- You’ve been seeking more social interaction. If you’ve been looking for an abundance of social and recreational activities, this is where it happens. Independent living communities are the perfect place to mingle, make connections and form lasting relationships. At our premier senior living community in Indianapolis, you’ll always have the opportunity to be social and engage with each other — whether that’s attending a scheduled event or gathering, going on an off-site outing, joining a resident club, or simply enjoying the company of neighbors.
- A healthy lifestyle has become even more important to you. Health and wellness is always front and center at an independent living community. After all, this is a time in your life when it’s vital to take care of yourself and promote a healthy mind, body and spirit. Marquette residents tell us they love being able to stay active and achieve their best life through our holistic approach and choice of amenities — including our 14,000-square-foot fitness and aquatic center featuring a heated indoor pool, personal training and professional-grade strength training equipment, nutritious menu options, wellness classes and programs, outdoor exercise trails and much more.
- Enhanced safety and security have become a top priority. Living alone can sometimes bring about safety concerns, and independent living communities can give you that sense of security and peace of mind you’re looking for. Most communities are equipped with top-notch safety features that offer an extra layer of reassurance — like emergency call systems, secure entrances and well-lit walkways, and on-site staff available 24/7.
The decision to move into an independent living community is a big step, but it doesn’t have to be a daunting one. We’d love to help you explore all of your options at Marquette, so you can see if we’re a great fit for you.
