The concept of senior living and elder care is undergoing a monumental transformation in India. Today, seniors are challenging the long-standing stereotypes associated with aging and retirement, looking at life beyond fifty-five as a beautiful and bold new chapter.
The conventional portrayal of senior citizens as dependent, lonely, and resistant to new ideas or change is long gone. Today’s seniors are inclined towards self-reliance, seek independence and engagement, and prefer luxurious living communities. The modern-day senior strives to lead a lavish and comfortable life on their terms.
The new era of senior living homes in India
Senior living projects in India have transformed the way seniors and their families view retirement homes. Contemporary senior living residences are evolving the concept of elder care from that of mere institutional care to vibrant communities where older adults can thrive. Communities like Antara’s independent living residences for seniors focus on holistic well-being with the perfect blend of lifestyle, lifecare, and hospitality.
Why are seniors increasingly opting to shift to senior living homes?
● Enhanced independence: Senior living homes allow residents to enjoy their own space while having access to assistance when needed. They offer a balance of autonomy and support by providing them easy access to a 24/7 concierge team to assist whenever they need it.
● Community connect: These homes are a place for seniors to interact and engage with like-minded folks. The community provides opportunities for social interaction, helping residents build friendships and engage in group activities that foster a sense of belonging.
● Safety and security: An important factor for seniors and their families is safety. Senior communities are secure environments with all safety measures in place, such as emergency response systems, security teams backed by advanced security systems, and staff available around the clock to ensure residents are protected.
● Modern amenities and healthcare services: Seniors have access to a plethora of amenities like a swimming pool, gym, tennis, badminton, spa, and more. They also receive best-in-class healthcare as they are under the care of trained medical staff on-site and have access to healthcare facilities, ensuring timely assistance and care.
● Lifestyle: Senior living homes encourage residents to engage in hobbies through their myriad hobby clubs and daily activities planned by a dedicated team. Comprehensive housekeeping ensures residences are fully managed while seniors can engage in activities of their choice, spend time in the clubhouse, or enjoy a meal in any of the F&B spaces within the community.
New-age senior living communities focus on providing seniors with an environment where they can feel at home and begin an exciting new chapter. The community prioritizes care and companionship, ensuring peace of mind for seniors and their families.
