Many seniors choose to sell their homes and move into active retirement communities. Seniors want to have a say in what happens, when they can’t care for themselves. Active senior communities are the choice, when an individual is not ready for assisted living or a nursing home. It’s understandable that some retirees may not want to take care of a home or lawn. Many retirees feel they can have a better quality of life, if they move into a retirement community.
Retired people often have different goals in life. They want to use their golden years to travel, meet new people and play golf all day. Individuals meet new people in the community, and there are many activities. In fact, many active communities are more like resorts, than apartments.
