If you've searched for senior housing choices on Google, you've seen the term "luxurious senior living." Luxury retirement living has matured, in part because of the growing number of Baby Boomers who are considering retiring.
But what is upscale senior housing? The spectrum of communities touting luxurious services and facilities reflects the huge variation in definitions. Communities that promote the good life are found at one extreme of the spectrum. These communities have high-end apartments, hotel-like concierge services, and resort-style facilities like movie theatres and heated indoor swimming pools.
The problem? Some upscale communities have rather high admission or buy-in fees; in some cases, they range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to well over $1 million. Additionally, there are significant monthly expenses. Fortunately, it's feasible to live in luxury for a lot less for individuals who decide to be more selective with their retirement nest fund. Let's discuss what makes senior living nice in reality.
Living a fulfilling life where your needs are met
The meaning of the good life given by Merriam-Webster's dictionary is "a happy and enjoyable life." Health, having someone to rely on, independence, and trust are some of the main components enabling a happy and pleasurable existence.
If you or someone you care about is older, you might be startled (and relieved!) to find that, despite older persons having a higher risk of COVID-19, their overall wellness increased dramatically in 2020, with fewer health issues among them. The improved health and, strangely, "someone to count on" in the shape of neighbors and Zoom calls during the epidemic were mostly to blame for the higher scores.
It's ironic because having a support system is a big benefit of residing in a community intended for senior citizens, whether that support system is a neighbor checking in, a team member handling errands or housekeeping, or family members stopping by.
You never have to be concerned about being alone with yourself or a loved one. In addition to having support and services on-site—and, in the case of some Heritage Care Home Senior Living communities, onsite fitness and rehab centers—senior living communities also give residents the freedom to enjoy a life free from chores. All of these amenities are provided by people you've grown to know and trust and all of them promote better health.
Living in luxury: opulent and individualized
Of course, living a nice life may also include staying in opulent lodgings. With a focus on tailoring facilities and services for a unique experience, a Heritage Care Home senior living facility may provide any or all of the following:
- Gastronomic cuisine with personal favorites.
- Beautiful lobby areas, living rooms, conference spaces, card rooms, entertainment areas, bars, bistros, courtyards, swimming pools, and other welcoming gathering places are available.
- Drums, pianos, and other musical instruments for use in courses or generally.
- Nearby exercise facilities.
- Indoor activities and happy hours.
- A comprehensive range of programs for social interaction, education, health, culture, and religion.
- Guided day tours with transportation to local attractions.

With these advantages and so many more, Heritage Care Home Senior Living provides first-rate community alternatives. Look through our communities to see which ones provide resort-style features and services like concierges, bistros, pools, complete libraries, beauty salons, in-home medical care, beautifully manicured gardens, or breathtaking vistas. Regardless of whether you select an assisted living or independent living community at Heritage Care Home, you can always count on living it up.
Plenty of warmth
All of these life improvements come with a sense of independence in the comfort of a communal environment, a type of intangible richness that money can't necessarily purchase. This is an additional benefit of a superb senior living community.
Luxury living can be thought of as being in a class by itself—or as living in a way that makes you feel as though you are traveling first class. Everything depends on how you view it.
