Options to remain independent after retirement.

Options to remain Independent after Retirement.
2

• Encourage seniors to keep up with their hobbies
  and interests. Whether this is knitting in the
  afternoons or going to meetings with their Red
  Hat Society club, the more seniors can continue
  to do while living in their retirement
  communities that they also did while living at
  home, the more independent they will feel.

• Help seniors stay physically active. Physical
  activity is one of the most important components
  of a senior's overall health and well-being.
  Physical activity not only has some great
  cardiovascular benefits and can help seniors
  release endorphins, it can also help seniors stay
  healthier so they can stay independent longer.
  Seniors who exercise daily are likely to be
  stronger, more flexible and more mobile. They are
  also likely to fall and more likely to be able to
  walk around and do things for themselves longer.

4

• Keeping seniors socially engaged. The more
  seniors can spend time socializing with friends
  and family, the more independent they will feel.
  Seniors not only need to visit with their friends
  and loved ones, but they need to be able to leave
  their retirement homes for parties, events,
  gatherings and holidays. Seniors who have a
  healthy social life not only tend to feel less
  isolated, but they are also more likely to have
  higher self-esteem.

5

• Consider pet-friendly communities for seniors
  with four-legged companions. Getting to keep a
  beloved pet and care for that pet is a great way
  for seniors to feel independent.
