Health, wealth, and happiness – something we all strive for, especially in our later years. Happiness is different for everyone, but there are some undeniable sources that contribute to happiness among older adults.
According to a 2024 AARP survey, older adults connect various life choices and activities to their happiness, including socialization, hobbies, sleep, traveling, listening to music, reading, and exercising.
And luxury senior living communities are designed to provide many activities, services, and amenities seniors equate with a happy lifestyle. For example, Allegro’s Live in Harmony program incorporates 7 key dimensions of wellness intended to enhance and enrich residents’ lives through well-balanced and fulfilling experiences.
Gone are the days where senior living equates to boredom, inactivity, and loss of independence. Today's senior living communities are full of healthy, independent, and socially active adults.
Maintenance-Free Lifestyle
Being bogged down with home repairs, maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and meal planning can overwhelm seniors, in addition to the time and energy it takes to maintain a household. Many older adults may have a harder time with these daily responsibilities due to chronic conditions, mobility, and transportation issues.
Independent and assisted living communities provide housekeeping, laundry, chef-prepared meals, and concierge services so residents can enjoy a stress-free life doing the things they love.
Socially Active Environment
Older adults who lead a vibrant and socially active lifestyle are typically physically and mentally healthier and happier than those who don’t. Allegro’s senior living communities are designed to inspire residents to live active and purposeful lives.
To help residents meet and engage with one another, Allegro plans a variety of regularly scheduled social opportunities and recreational events, including:
- Vibrant social hours
- Resident-led clubs
- Engaging lectures
- Movie nights
- Group outings
- Themed events
- Cooking classes
Health & Wellness Programs
Good health is the key to living a long, independent and happy life. However, older adults often face challenges when it comes to maintaining their health. Making lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and routine doctor visits can significantly improve health as we age.
Senior living communities prioritize the health and wellness of residents by offering a variety of resources and support. Residents have access to strength training, meditation, and yoga classes, wellness programs, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and nutrition classes.
Premier Healthcare Services
One of the biggest benefits of senior living communities is the availability of on-site health professionals, including registered nurses, occupational, physical therapists, and memory care specialists.
Depending on the type of community, seniors can receive help with medication management, care coordination with their primary physicians, preventive care, therapy, and monitoring of blood pressure and vital signs.
A Sense of Purpose & Involvement
Purpose and a sense of belonging are important for self-worth and happiness, especially for older adults. According to the National Library of Medicine, having a sense of purpose in life is strongly associated with successful aging.
Senior living communities provide supportive and community-driven environments where residents can plan and chair various clubs, rediscover new or long-lost hobbies, and volunteer to help others. Many seniors report feeling active, connected, and inspired while living in senior living communities.
Resort-like Amenities
Nothing feels better than being on vacation and waking up every day to incredible amenities. The luxury senior living lifestyle is a lot like living in a vacation resort.
Residents spend their days enjoying convenient onsite amenities such as swimming pools, beauty salons, saunas, spas, dog parks, and spacious waterfront view apartments.
