The transition to your 70s is often a time of renewed perspective. While you likely value the independence you have cultivated over a lifetime, you may also find that the responsibilities of maintaining a large family home are beginning to overshadow the activities you truly enjoy. Moving to an independent living community is not about a loss of control. In fact, for many people, it is the exact opposite. It is a strategic choice to protect your freedom by removing the obstacles that stand in its way.
Independent living is not about giving up your freedom — it's about enhancing it. At The Arbor, residents have the freedom to make their own choices, whether it’s planning daily activities, cooking meals, or deciding how to spend time with family and friends. This lifestyle provides the balance between independence and security, allowing residents to live as they always have, but with the added convenience of professional care and maintenance-free living.
Gone are the days of worrying about home upkeep, repairs, or managing responsibilities that might be physically or mentally taxing. With independent living at The Arbor, you can enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about household chores, lawn care, or unexpected repairs. This gives you more time to focus on what truly matters — whether that’s pursuing hobbies, staying physically active, or simply enjoying time with loved ones.
Living at The Arbor means becoming part of a community that supports your needs, while allowing you to maintain your personal autonomy. Residents have access to a variety of amenities and programs designed to enrich their lives. From fitness classes to educational seminars, social gatherings to volunteer opportunities, there’s always something happening to keep you engaged and connected.
More importantly, this sense of community provides a built-in support network of like-minded individuals. In your 70s, the need for social interaction and companionship becomes more significant, and living in an independent community ensures you’re never far from those connections. Whether it’s a friendly chat over lunch or participating in a group outing, the people around you become more than just neighbors — they become friends who share in your experiences.
While independence is key, your health and wellness remain top priorities in your 70s. At The Arbor, residents have access to wellness programs that promote both physical and mental well-being. These services offer everything from fitness programs designed to improve strength and balance to cognitive activities that keep your mind sharp.
For those who need it, the transition to additional care is seamless. Independent living at The Arbor means that should the need arise for more specialized services, such as assisted living or memory care, those resources are readily available within the same community. This continuity of care ensures that your health needs are met as they evolve, without disrupting your lifestyle or forcing you to move to another facility.
The beauty of independent living in your 70s is that it offers you the freedom to live fully without sacrificing your autonomy. It’s about embracing the opportunity to redefine what it means to be independent in this stage of life — whether you’re continuing a lifelong passion or discovering new ones. The Arbor’s independent living community offers everything you need to continue living a life of purpose, while providing the support that ensures your peace of mind.
So, as you enter your 70s, think of independent living as a chance to focus on the things that bring you joy, with the freedom to live life on your terms. At The Arbor, we believe that your 70s can be a time of reinvention, growth, and new adventures — all within a community that supports your independence.
