The New Face of Senior Living Communities
The Baby Boomer generation has always been defined by its unwillingness to accept societal norms – boomers are wildly optimistic, routinely rebellious. So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that today’s boomers are pushing back and refusing to retire and grow old in the traditional sense.
When it comes to senior living, this group of aging adults will not settle for a clean bed anymore-- They are transforming the landscape, demanding hiking trails, tennis courts, educational courses, and amenities and luxury. The senior living communities are delivering!
Check out some of these incredible facilities and amenities available to aging seniors:
1. Aegis on Madison – Seattle, WA: Offers creative, high-end amenities including man caves, computer labs, wine cellars, on-site theaters, and rooftop decks.
