Retirement communities are popping up all over the place. With people living longer, they want to enjoy their golden years. They don’t want to spend their time cutting grass or worrying if the roof will need to be replaced. Life in a retirement communality means you are no longer responsible for yard maintenance or home maintenance. Those things are done by others, which frees up your time for what interests you.

When you buy into an adult community you purchase your home, or apartment, and you pay a monthly fee. The fees usually include maintenance, utility bills and at least one meal a day. Each retirement community is set up a little different. Many of them have doctors, and possibly a dentist, on the property a few times a week. There may be a convenience store and a bank along with a post office. Most communities have a swimming pool and garden areas.

One of the things that draw people to retirement communities is the social aspect. Most people are the same age and have similar interests. You won’t have a problem finding a 4th for bridge, or someone to play Chess with. There will be bus trips to outlet malls, the theater or to the casino.

If you get one meal a day in the dining room of the community, you only have to make your own breakfast and lunch. That means very little food shopping, cooking and cleaning up. You can clean your own home or hire a cleaning service.

You can feel very safe in retirement communities. Most of them are gated and visitors have to be checked in at the gate. You will have a shuttle bus to take you shopping if you don’t drive or don’t want to drive. Many of these communities have religious services on Saturday and Sunday.

This is the type of community where you can get involved if you want to. There will be committees you can join if that is what you like to do. Once you move in and find your way around you will meet new people and make new friends. A retirement community is a good thing!
