Aging With Attitude

What Does It Mean to Age With Attitude? 

Many people have a negative perception of aging. They believe that growing older and physical decline go hand in hand.

Aging with attitude rejects that idea. The people who adopt this mindset embrace the aging process with a positive and proactive mindset.

They maintain a vibrant and enthusiastic approach to life. They stay engaged, pursue goals, explore their passions, and approach each day with a sense of curiosity and openness. 

Aging with attitude celebrates the wisdom, experiences, and continued growth that come with getting older.

Research from Georgia State University shows that attitudes toward aging are highly predictive of aging outcomes.

In other words, those who leave behind negative stereotypes about aging live longer, have better memory function and recover more quickly from illnesses.

Aging with attitude also recognizes that your goals and priorities may shift as you age.

Right-sizing” your life is a way to create a life that aligns with your current needs.

For many seniors that means choosing the simplicity, convenience, and opportunities found in a senior living community. 

Find Freedom with Independent Living

Independent living within a senior living community doesn’t mean you give up your freedom. Most residents say independent living has increased their sense of autonomy and self-sufficiency. 

With fewer chores and household tasks demanding your time, you’ll have the time and energy to explore new interests, engage in social activities, and relish a maintenance-free lifestyle.

If you’re comfortable with driving, you are free to take your car wherever you please. If the weather turns ugly or you grow weary of driving, transportation services can help you get to doctor appointments or other engagements without relying on friends or family for a ride. 

Independent living in a senior community empowers individuals to live on their terms and supports a holistic approach to wellness. 

At Senior Star, all of our incredible communities offer a wide variety of full-service amenities:

  • Concierge Services
  • Full Social & Activities Calendar
  • Signature Transportation
  • Salon and Barber Shops
  • Restaurant-Style Dining
  • Fitness Center and Innovative Programs

Find the Support You Need With Assisted Living

Assisted living provides occasional support with the activities of daily living, such as bathing, grooming, dressing, or dining.

When you live within a Senior Star community, we work with you and your loved ones to create a personalized care plan that determines how to support you with just the right amount of help. We revisit care plans regularly to adapt to any changing needs.

Assisted living provides additional peace of mind for you and your loved ones. It’s reassuring to know that the caring assisted living staff are available 24/7 if needed.

Assisted living is designed to help you or your family member(s) maintain independence. You are still in charge of your schedule and your day. You are free to explore your hobbies and interests as well as attend community events and activities that appeal to you.

It’s all about giving you the extra help when and if you need it so you can make the most of life – what exceptional care in senior living should be.
