Relocating To An Active Senior Living Community is An Upgrade For Many Seniors

Making a decision to leave one’s long-term home and downsize to a retirement community is difficult. You may have to leave your beloved neighborhood, your friendly neighbors, your favorite corner store, and the home you’ve made memories in for years. But for many seniors, all of that is worth the benefits of experiencing their golden years in a vibrant, active community of their peers.

For residents at Dunwoody Pines Retirement Community in Dunwoody, Georgia, the ease, convenience, and sheer fun of living at an independent senior living community is an upgrade to their lifestyle. The all-inclusive resort-style retirement community takes the worry out of living and puts the fun back into residents’ lives.

No More Home Maintenance

One of the major benefits of downsizing and relocating to a retirement community is leaving home maintenance behind. The stress and time associated with cleaning your larger home, lawn care, and home repairs can take a toll on seniors, who may not be able to keep up with these tasks as well as they did in their 30s and 40s. At a retirement community like Dunwoody Pines, all of that is taken care of, and seniors can focus on friendships and enjoying themselves.

Residents will no longer have to worry about vacuuming or scrubbing bathrooms with Dunwoody Pines’ weekly housekeeping services. And if something in their residence needs repair, the community’s fantastic on-call maintenance staff is available to take care of it. The days of mowing lawns and pulling weeds are over because the community’s attractive grounds and private swimming pool are all perfectly maintained and ready to use at any time.

Meals Are Planned and Prepared

The average American age 65 or older spends 43 minutes per day preparing food, serving meals, and cleaning up afterward. Add to that the time spent planning meals and grocery shopping, and it could mean more than 5 hours per week just worrying about what you’re going to eat! In addition, many seniors are not preparing a wide variety of meals or meals containing optimal nutrition.

At a retirement community, residents can enjoy a wide variety of healthy meals. The best part? There’s no planning, shopping, cooking, or cleanup required! All of these delicious meals are prepared by a skilled chef and their team. And at Dunwoody Pines, residents are extra-spoiled with the community’s unique 24/7 dining experience.

Social Events are Already on the Calendar

Moving to a new community and making new friends can be daunting. But making friends could not be easier at an active senior living community like Dunwoody Pines. The community maintains a full calendar of both physical and mental activities that residents can participate in with their neighbors. Activities include those hosted within the community, such as movie showings, exercise classes, board games, and cooking classes, as well as community outings, like museum trips and lunches at local restaurants. Not to mention that Dunwoody Pines is just minutes from all the shopping, restaurants, and cultural highlights of Atlanta. There is something for everyone to enjoy, and it’s easy to make friends at your new community who enjoy the same activities you do.

Safety and Security are a Priority

Senior living communities are specially designed not only for the enjoyment of the residents but also for their safety and security. At Dunwoody Pines, caring, talented staff are available 24/7, meaning that residents have complete peace of mind. The community is monitored and secured, and emergency response systems are in place in case of an event. The staff also gets to know each resident so they can lend a helping hand when needed.

With all of these perks, it’s no wonder why residents at Dunwoody Pines are loving their senior living community!
