From fitness facilities and recreational activities, to gourmet dining options and housekeeping, independent living communities are widely known for their services and amenities that make every day easier and enhance quality of life.
Because senior living communities offer so many benefits, we’re giving you just a glimpse of what you can expect when you move into your new home. Take a look at all the ways this lifestyle offers something for everyone — providing all the comforts of home with none of the work, and ensuring that you never run out of things to do.
Abundant amenities
- Delicious on-site dining. Even with your on-the-go lifestyle, you’ll never have to miss a meal. At Marquette, we offer our residents an array of options in a variety of lovely venues that include private dining with friends and family, our formal Legacy Dining Room, our casual Fireside Grill and our inviting outdoor terrace.
- Fully equipped kitchens. Love to cook? Residences at independent living communities have you covered here too, with contemporary spacious kitchens that make it easy to whip up meals to your heart’s content.
- Balconies, patios and courtyards. Getting outside is always good for your health. You’ll find plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces in senior living communities, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
- State-of-the-art fitness facilities. You’ll stay active and thriving with amenities like on-site gyms, pools and walking trails. At Marquette, we offer a 14,000-square-foot fitness and aquatic center complete with a heated indoor pool, professional-grade cardio and strength training equipment, outdoor exercise trails and more.
- Health and wellness programs. Staying informed and healthy couldn’t be more important. At many communities, you’ll have access to enlightening wellness seminars, as well as health screenings and nutritional counseling.
- A plethora of planned activities. One thing’s for sure: you’ll never be lacking in get-togethers at an independent living community. A full social calendar awaits you — picnics and barbeques, dance lessons, movie nights, game nights, happy hours, book clubs, museum visits and shopping trips … just to name a few.
A wide selection of services
- Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance services. Free yourself completely from everyday chores and home upkeep. Now you can focus on enjoying yourself to the fullest during retirement, knowing that your lawn care, home repairs and cleaning needs can be done by others.
- Transportation services. Forget about the stress of driving. Independent living communities often provide transportation services, making it easier for residents to attend plays and sporting events, go to their medical appointments, visit local museums and farmers markets, and more.
- Health services. Independent living residents are often able to get the care they need without leaving the community — thanks to convenient on-site services that include wellness programs, mental health support and access to nursing staff. And because many places with independent living are Life Plan communities (or Continuing Care Retirement Communities), they also offer assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled care options to meet changing needs.
- Spiritual services. Religious or spiritual services and devotional activities are also available in many communities, which can include an on-site chapel or bible group, as well as coordinated trips to a local church or place of worship.
Relax. Socialize. Foster friendships. Focus on your hobbies. Learn new skills. It’s all waiting for you at independent living communities.
