What does retirement mean to you? Does it mean exploring the world, having adventures while making memories to cherish for a lifetime? Does it mean sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the time that you’ve earned? Does it mean rediscovering new passions, rekindling old friendships or simply turning over a new leaf? Whatever it means to you, you will discover it through … senior living?
“Today’s senior living is not your grandma’s senior living,” says Mary Scott Russell, Director of Marketing at East Ridge at Cutler Bay, Miami-Dade County’s only true Life Plan Retirement Community. “It’s more than a place to go to live out your golden years. It’s an opportunity to revive a hobby or a lifetime interest. It’s your chance to relax, knowing your residence and your health care are completely covered. It’s time to rediscover something you’ve long wanted to try, but never found time to do before. Or – maybe it’s all of the above!” Yes, the “good life” is possible in senior living. In fact, it’s not just possible – it’s expected. “We’ve heard so many of our residents say they wish they’d moved here sooner because they can’t believe how wonderful life can be at our community,” she says. “So many people think that senior living means giving up the things you love or saying goodbye to freedom, but in fact, it’s the complete opposite of that. Residents at East Ridge at Cutler Bay know that moving here doesn’t mean giving up … it means opening up to the possibilities.”
Revive … your mind, body and spirit.
Aging well starts with feeling well. That means caring for the whole person, and doing things to care for yourself so you can live your best life, starting now. At East Ridge at Cutler Bay, our lifestyle is focused on whole-body wellness and vitality. So, we look at wellness as incorporating eight different dimensions: physical, social, intellectual, vocational, spiritual, emotional, environmental and health services. Here’s just a sampling of how our senior living lifestyle does that:
- Physical: Our designed-for-you fitness center features senior-specific exercise equipment and group (or individual) fitness classes. Our full-time wellness coordinator works with you to maintain a healthy fitness regime no matter your physical ability.
- Social: Finding friends is as easy as opening a door. Residents spend time together through activities such as birthday nights, travel club, movie night, theater, shopping trips and musical concerts.
- Intellectual: Who says learning ends after you leave school? Solve problems, think creatively and stay challenged mentally through our book club, library, lectures and expert guest speakers.
- Vocational: Want to pass along your wisdom? Enjoy volunteering? You’ll find those opportunities and other fun groups to pass along your passions and flex your skills through garden club, woodshop, ceramics and the “Village Crafters.”
- Spiritual: Maintain a connection with inner values while finding peace and purpose in life. Opportunities include religious services, nature discussions, chapel and musical programs.
- Emotional: Maintain a positive outlook, be happy, and feel good about yourself and others. Experience all this through our poetry groups, arts and crafts, and lectures.
- Environmental: Preserve our land and care about our environment. Our 76 acres of green spaces and open areas are a great place to put this dimension to practice.
- Health services: Enjoy peace of mind in knowing on-site assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation are all available to you through LifeCare at East Ridge
