You may be pleasantly surprised at the active lifestyle you’ll discover in most senior living communities. From multi-day trips to pickleball tournaments to live musical performances, there’s almost always something to do. Perhaps one of the best parts of maintenance-free living is the freedom you have to fill your days with whatever you’d like to do.
Here’s what a typical day may look like for a senior living resident.
Discover a Day in the Life of a Senior Living Resident
Senior living often means independence, choices, personal fulfillment, and a sense of belonging. It also can bring peace of mind to loved ones that both current and future care needs will be met. Each day can be an adventure in senior living. See what options you might have as a senior living resident.
Morning in Senior Living
You choose when to wake up each day and how you spend your morning. If you enjoy a leisurely morning, stay in your pajamas until you’re ready to get dressed. Take advantage of your kitchenette and prepare some toast or a bagel alongside a hot cup of oatmeal. Don’t forget the coffee!
After some nourishment, decide what activities you’d like to do. Here are a few popular options:
- Participate in an exercise class, like Tai Chi or chair yoga
- Read a book in the on-campus library
- Walk around the community with the resident walking group
Afternoon in Senior Living
Meet fellow residents for lunch in the café or dining room. You’ll commonly find an array of options, and dining can typically accommodate special diets and requests. After lunch, you can select from a full activity calendar of classes, events, outings, and more.
Here are some choices you may have as a senior living resident:
- Take the campus shuttle to nearby Creekside Town Center for a little shopping
- Attend a drawing class in the art studio
- Watch a movie in the theater room with fellow residents
- Call a loved one from the comfort of your apartment
Evening in Senior Living
After a fun-filled afternoon, meet friends or family for dinner in your community’s dining room. You’ll often have theme dinners like a beach party, an evening in Paris, or holiday themes. The chef may plan special dishes like prime rib, rack of lamb, or Californian clam chowder.
You might also have these additional activities to select from:
- Enjoy a live musical performance and refreshments
- Join residents on the campus shuttle for dinner out at a nearby restaurant
- Choose from one of several chef-prepared dishes from the dining room
- Relax by the pool among friends
Retreat to your apartment in the evening where you’ll be surrounded by your favorite things, home décor, and photos. Wind down with word puzzles or listen to relaxing tunes. You can even take a peek at tomorrow’s activity schedule to see what may interest you.
