The Latest Trends In Senior Living

A Forward-Thinking Approach To Retirement

Senior living communities are not what some may have come to expect from previous generations. The innovative communities of today are full of uplifting energy and experiences. Trends in the industry help seniors to stay connected through social events, outings and recreation, as well as learning and wellness opportunities. Many of these forward-thinking ideas are already taking place at Longleaf – here’s some of what you can look forward to:

Location, location, location.

Seniors want a setting that is not only convenient and relaxing, but also set in a sought-after area for their interests and tastes. Whether they’re looking for shopping, culture, fine dining or recreation, senior living of the future is becoming increasingly more specialized according to location. Longleaf sits adjacent to 50 wooded acres on the edge of Bee Cave Central Park, providing a plethora of recreational opportunities.

Serious about safety.

Some communities have become more proactive about ensuring the health and security of residents and staff. At Longleaf, we’ve gone above and beyond using advanced safety features – including disinfectant UV lighting, ionic air filtration for HVAC systems, and anti-microbial paint and surfaces to prevent viral spread.

Turning to technology.

The senior living industry is utilizing smart devices now more than ever – providing residents the benefits of helpful technology incorporated into their daily routines, e.g. activity calendars, virtual communication and emergency response systems. As senior assistance technology becomes even more streamlined in the coming years, user-friendly technology will no doubt further enhance the senior lifestyle.

Dining done differently.

You might be very pleasantly surprised by the dining options available at certain retirement communities. With an emphasis on fresh, gourmet fare, Longleaf Bee Cave offers everything from classic home-style dishes to healthy, nutritious options. Longleaf and other communities have also moved toward all-day dining – giving residents the freedom to choose from a wide variety of satisfying options on their own schedule.

Fun-filled fitness.

Today’s seniors are looking for increased options to stay energized and try new things. You’ll find more unique fitness options like yoga, dancing, yard games and virtual activities. And communities will only continue to expand their offerings as seniors enjoy better health and remain active longer, to meet their needs.

Wellness for the win.

In the previous generations, seniors were more likely to delay moving to a senior living community – waiting until their health necessitates a move and missing out on the benefits of a simplified retirement lifestyle. By moving to a community like Longleaf sooner rather than later, your retirement years can provide opportunities for enhanced wellbeing in mind, body and soul, as well as a chance to pursue your passions and explore new interests.
