Retirement marks the start of an exciting new chapter for those who are ready and willing to embrace life’s next adventures. During these golden years, seniors have the opportunity to ‘begin again’ and live their lives to the fullest, however that may look like to them.
For some, that means engaging in long-held interests, discovering brand new hobbies and forming valuable friendships. And it’s these very concepts that independent living retirement communities are all about providing for their residents.
Independent living communities are designed for seniors who are fully independent but would like to live in a social environment with avenues for connection and engagement during their retirement years.
Nanaimo Seniors Village is one example of one of those dynamic living communities.
Located on seven acres of gardens and greenery in one of BC’s oldest cities, the boutique retirement community offers both independent and assisted living options for residents. Nanaimo Seniors Village offers their community members plenty of freedom and choice through fulfilling experiences that tap into their passions for knowledge, creativity, fun and camaraderie.
“When a new resident moves in, the comment we always hear is ‘I wish I had moved in sooner,’” shares Rob Akimow, Director of Sales and Marketing of West Coast Seniors Housing Management. “We see folks who previously may have been feeling isolated or lonely build new friendships in their new community — it’s really quite heartwarming.”
Nanaimo Seniors Village offers an endless amount of enriching daily programs and activities. Their residents can experience their shared special interests together, including book clubs, bowling, crafts, baking and gardening.
“Cliff and I value our clean and bright environment and our new bistro where we can socialize with friends and there is a good variety of entertainment” says Cliff and Mary H., residents at the Nanaimo Seniors Village. “When we need help, someone is at the door to meet our need. But, extra special, we value our personnel, couldn’t ask for better. They make us feel important and that is good for us.”
It’s no wonder that residents at Nanaimo Seniors Village proudly call this lively living community their home.
