Independent Living Communities are a Popular Option

As the population ages, 55+ independent living communities have become a popular option for seniors around the country.  The appeal includes making their lives easier by moving into a maintenance free apartment that meets their needs without giving up their independence.  Today’s communities’ offers older adults security and safety as well as peace of mind knowing others are always around.  

Independent living communities are a place where similarly aged people in a similar time of life comfortably live among one another.  Moreover, such communities solve a growing problem reported by many seniors, that of loneliness.  As we grow older our social circle gets smaller as many older adults have retired from jobs that created opportunities for day-to-day contact with acquaintances and business associates.  In addition, some seniors no longer feel comfortable driving, which in turn, can limit their ability to socialize.  Study after study has shown that isolation becomes a bigger problem as we age and can lead to severe loneliness and even depression.  On the other hand, independent living communities naturally promote new friendships and regular socialization. 

At MorningStar at RidgeGate, we offer 124 suites for active seniors who love the idea of giving up home ownership but still want all the comforts of home.  Apartments are available in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans with a two-bedroom, two bath unit as large as 1838 sqft.  Features include a full kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counters, high ceilings, fireplace, washer/dryer, and walk-in closets and private patio or balcony in some suites.
