Here’s a brief glance at the amenities and activities that will be available right in the home where you live:
- Swimming pools, putting greens, indoor driving ranges or other fun sports facilities
- Fitness centers with exercise classes including yoga, tai chi, and more
- Onsite pubs, dining halls and other places to mingle
- Movie nights at in-house theatres
- Spas, salons, and other beauty services
- Learning centres and libraries
- Book clubs, poetry groups, arts and crafts, and other personal growth activities
There are also outdoor activities like community gardening, shuffleboard, bocce, and more. All of these clubs, amenities, and activities create situations where you meet and commune with people your own age, and discover what a joy senior living in Maple Ridge can be. Let’s not forget that you leave behind housework, home maintenance, paying monthly bills, and so many more of the pesky annoyances of home ownership.
How to move to a Maple Ridge retirement community
However, many seniors aren’t aware of what’s available or how much they will enjoy it. With that in mind, it’s a good idea to take a trial stay at one a retirement home listed above. In this, you’ll have your own suite, and get a taste of life in a retirement home. Communities often have an ambassador program or a welcoming committee who will show you around the community, introducing you to others and acclimatizing you to the building and the life there. These types of programs are also there to welcome people who move right in.
Many Maple Ridge and area seniors own real estate that is worth far more than the original cost, often with equity of more than a million dollars. For many of these people, it’s a wonderful surprise to discover the care, lifestyle, and luxury that they can afford.
