Senior living refers to residential communities and housing options specifically designed to cater the needs of older adults of the age 55 years and above. Senior Living Communities are extremely popular in the western countries and are becoming a place of choice for Indians for various reasons:
- Safety and security – These communities offer a safe environment to seniors as these communities are mostly gated communities with multiple layers of security cover. With crime rate against vulnerable seniors is a cause of worry in this country, more and more seniors opt for senior living communities which also gives a sense of relief for their children living in other places.
- Lifestyle, facilities and amenities – Senior living communities offer a wide range of amenities and facilities tailored for seniors like – club house, swimming pool, jogging tracks, green spaces, dining, basic medical setup etc. These amenities and facilities provide convenience, socialization opportunities and lifestyle upgrade to seniors.
- Companionship and support – Residents in these communities make their social circle, support each other during crisis, give companionship to each other to deal with challenges of retirement, deteriorating physical energy and emotional support.
- Hassle-free living – Since these communities take care of major hassle of home maintenance and community services maintenance, seniors no more have to run around and worry about getting day to day support like plumber, electrician, mason, carpenter, driver and so on. Most of the communities even take care of laundry, housekeeping and upkeep of appliances too.
- Healthcare support – Senior living communities generally offer basic health care like Doctor’s clinic, availability of nurse, ambulance and tie up with hospitals and so on. They also conduct various preventive health care activities to enhance quality of life of elderly.
