Older adults may experience more loneliness than any other age group due to shrinking social circles, poor health, transportation difficulties or life changes. Many families with senior loved ones start their search for a senior living community to help prevent social isolation for someone in their lives.

According to the Global Council on Brain Health, the body of scientific evidence suggests social engagement can help maintain one’s thinking skills and slow down cognitive decline. Other research links an active social life with better cardiovascular outcomes and greater immunity to infectious diseases.

Research spearheaded by ProMatura Group consistently shows that seniors who transition to senior living communities are happier, have an increased sense of well-being and may even live longer. Residing in a senior living community provides seniors a range of opportunities to socialize. 

When older adults consider moving to an independent senior living community, most think about what they may have to give up. But what they actually get when they make the move is freedom – the freedom to explore new interests, meet new friends and pursue an active retirement. 

Some older adults may believe they’re too young, too independent or too healthy for an independent living community. But at Fairview Estates, residents often say, “Why didn’t I move here sooner?” The reasons for moving to a senior living community vary, but two that stand out are the opportunity to pursue passions and interests, and the chance to expand social circles.
