After you retire and free yourself from the responsibilities of a career and raising a family, life’s possibilities start to open up. As you explore your options, you may have heard others talk about senior living and thought to yourself, “I’m too young for something like that.” But ask yourself — why stay tied to the responsibilities of maintaining a home?
The prospect of almost total freedom is what makes many older adults consider a move to an independent living community in Kansas like Santa Marta. In fact, if you ask most Santa Marta residents, they’ll tell you they wish they’d moved sooner. That’s why determining when to move to a retirement community is an important part of your senior living planning.
7 Reasons Why Moving to Santa Marta Makes Sense Right Now
The best age to move into independent living is when you can take advantage of every social, wellness, and financial benefit a retirement community has to offer:
- Add life to your years. Studies show that longevity is 25% genetics and 75% lifestyle. Choosing a retirement lifestyle that promotes activity and vitality can help you enjoy a happier, healthier life. Independent living communities offer a robust calendar of activities and events that support lifelong learning, wellness, socializing, and more.
- All-in pricing. At a community like Santa Marta, all services and amenities are included in your monthly service fee, making independent senior living costs remarkably comparable to staying in your current home. You can explore floor plans that fit both your lifestyle and your budget here.
- Maintenance-free living. Free yourself from the responsibilities of homeownership. Let our talented team handle all indoor and outdoor maintenance — including yardwork and housekeeping — giving you more time for the activities you enjoy.
- Leave the cooking (and cleaning up) to us. If you love to cook, you’ll have a well-appointed kitchen to follow your passion. But when you don’t feel like cooking, our dining options offer a variety of delicious chef-prepared meals.
- Activities, amenities, and services. We make it easy to enjoy your hobbies and build new friendships. At Santa Marta, we offer classes, outings, and get-togethers, along with a variety of helpful services and thoughtful amenities.
- A continuum of care. One of the biggest benefits of moving into an independent living community is the peace of mind that comes from having access to higher levels of care, if ever needed. We offer assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation right on-site.
- An expanded circle of friends. Imagine living among neighbors who share your interests and want to enjoy life to the fullest. Whether you meet over coffee, dinner, scheduled activities, or casual conversation in a common space — you won’t have to go far to find a friend.
