What Is a Retirement Villa? Here’s What to Know

They say the only constant in life is change — but just because it happens all the time doesn’t make it any easier to handle, no matter how old you are. For example, if you decide your current home, location or daily upkeep no longer fits your lifestyle and goals for the future, deciding to move can still feel overwhelming — especially if you’ve lived in your current house for years. Of course, you probably have enough life experience to know that some changes, once made, leave you wondering why you didn’t do them sooner.

What if there were a type of senior living option that gave you the benefits of living in a house and the freedom from ever having to paint, mow, shovel, rake, clean, maintain, or repair again — all within a true community, complete with a host of services, amenities, and activities? Sound appealing? If so, then joining the senior villa lifestyle at Santa Marta could be one of those changes for the better you won’t regret.

What Is a Retirement Villa?

Santa Marta villas offer a unique neighborhood setting with traditional tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and your own private entrance. You’ll also enjoy a variety of benefits, including convenient access to thoughtful amenities like dining venues with chef-prepared meals, a fitness area, an indoor heated pool and therapy spa, a beauty salon and barbershop, a library, a coffee shop, and more.

Our spacious villa floor plans range in size from the Villa Rosa at 1,577 square feet to the Villa Fiore at 1,763 square feet. All floor plans include two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with features like a private driveway, attached garage, and screened-in porch or sunroom that offer easy access to the outdoors. Our larger villas also include an additional room perfect for a den, home office, or hobby room.

Villa Life is Community Life

Even though you have your own spacious, stand-alone villa, you’re still part of the larger Santa Marta community. So, meeting up with new friends for dinner, coffee, a game of cards, or a lifelong learning event is very convenient.

Villa Life Comes with a Smart Plan for Your Future

One of the practical benefits of choosing a Life Plan Community with Life Care like Santa Marta is that we combine independent living with the security of on-site health care — including assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing — all at a predictable monthly rate. This allows you and your spouse to age in place with peace of mind, knowing your future needs are covered.

Move Into a More Engaging Lifestyle

Whether you choose a retirement villa vs. an apartment, the benefits of retiring in Kansas at an active and social community like Santa Marta offers you more opportunities to enjoy life.
