TOP TIPS FOR AGING IN PLACE
Retirement lifestyle planning can at once be exhilarating, frightening, and full of opportunity. So many choices. More time than ever!
As social equilibrium and how to spend time changes in retirement, seniors find the most gratification prioritizing lifestyle. With many decisions facing seniors and their families, especially if assistance is needed, increasing quality of lifestyle always brings the most reward. As we live longer and have more options in the senior housing and services, true north is what creates a predictable sense of well being.
Naturally, each individual finds satisfaction in different ways. How much social versus solitude time, for example, varies greatly by personality and even from day to day depending on mood and wellness. There are a few considerations for planning a rewarding senior lifestyle. Aside from the number of choices, it’s the questions that guide the decisions, such as who will you be spending time with? What excites creativity?

Why Senectus?
Senectus has a mission: simplifying access to quality, affordable services for seniors. Yet, as a consumer, it’s fair to ask why these services would join as a group, with a name, identity and shared purpose. Although each organizer has earned a reputation for service, why does connecting as Senectus offer more than the sum of our parts… or partners?
What unites us is a need: A majority of adults are unprepared for helping an aging family member to make inevitable, life-changing decisions. However, over 65% of adults will end up in a care giving role. Further, due to the aging of boomers, there is a rapidly growing need for elder support. And, in the Gen X and in Millennial generations following baby boomers, there will be fewer and fewer available family members to help with aging in place, downsizing, relocation and financial preparedness.
In planning, an important success factor is knowing who to turn to for resources, advice and assistance. Added to this, numerous services may be needed and coordination of them may be vital, all within a budget, timeline, often during uncertain times of change, and likely with a limited, fixed income. Care givers and family who intend well, yet have busy schedules of their own.
