The Baldwin: Modern Senior Living

Q: When should people start planning for where they will live as they age?

A: The simple answer is the earlier the better. Many people think they’ll just remain in their homes as they age, but the home that was perfect for raising a family may not be as suitable for aging. As health and abilities change, the average house will need modifications— some of them significant — to accommodate aging independently and safely. Issues of maintenance and lawn care also can become major sources of stress. And, especially for people who live alone, staying in the home too long can lead to loneliness and fewer opportunities for social connection.

Knowing all this, more people are recognizing the benefits of moving to a Life Plan Community. With maintenance-free residences designed for easy living and services that make life easier, residents discover a new level of freedom and time to do the things they truly enjoy. In addition, engaging amenities and programs encourage social interaction and contribute to physical, emotional and cognitive well-being.

Q: With the growing popularity of Life Plan Communities and the rapidly increasing number of older adults, are there enough communities?

A: Demand is quickly outpacing supply. As a result, the most desirable communities usually have years-long waitlists. The Baldwin is embarking on an expansion to help meet demand, but the sooner you start considering your options — and get on the waitlist for your desired community — the better.
