Develop Your Retirement Roadmap

Develop Your Retirement Roadmap

You’ve worked hard almost all your life, saving along the way for your retirement, which is now upon you. Gone are the days of asking yourself, “When can I retire?” You’re finally ready to transition to a new lifestyle of relaxation and enjoying the things you’ve long dreamt of but never had the time for: traveling, reconnecting with old friends and spending more time with the grandkids, to name a few.

Stay engagaed while Aging

Stay engagaed while Aging

Keeping your mind and body occupied helps elevate your mood and can assure that wellness is maintained even when leaving your home isn’t an option. Try to look for new opportunities for personal growth and entertainment. When illness or inclement weather forces us to stay at home, it may present special challenges for seniors who rely on regular engagement with other people. Social isolation can be harmful and sometimes lead to loneliness or depression. It’s best to find ways to stay connected to improve your health and well-being.

Aging in Place

Aging in Place

Aging in place is just what it sounds like, staying in your own home for as long as you can. People like to retain their independence in a place where they are comfortable and already have relationships. It can feel safer and simpler than making a change. Three-quarters of Americans age 50 and older say they want to live in their own homes for the rest of their lives but less than half of those believe that’s really possible. That makes it necessary to create alternative environments that make people feel at home, like they belong. In some cases, there are Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) or similar communities so people can transition through necessary stages of care in the same place.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was formed over millions of years as the Colorado River and its tributaries carved their way through layers of rock, creating a canyon that is over a mile deep and up to 18 miles wide in some places.
