In case you haven't heard, Colorado Springs has recently been named one of the top locations for retirement. There's lots of good reasons. This article will highlight a few. We'll also give you a run down on the options this city provides for senior living.
Do you know where the song America the Beautiful was written? That's right, on a trip to the Colorado Springs area. Why? Because it's beautiful. We have nearly 250 days per year where you can see a blue sky. And, it's not just any blue. It's the darkest blue you've ever seen in a sky! Additionally, Pike's Peak looms large over the entire city giving you breathtaking views from almost anywhere. And, from the city, you can be in the mountains within minutes.
Although we're a mid-sized city, we have all the things you might need need from a city; shopping, recreation, entertainment and arts. But, if you need a larger city, Denver is less than an hour away. And, there is an outlet mall between the two cities.
Although we have four seasons, outdoor activities are possible during all of them. Even in the winter, because our common sunny days, the snow never sticks around for more than a few days. Our winters are regarded as mild to most folks.
Colorado also has great options for senior living facilities. We have some of each of the common options; independent living communities, assisted living facilities, and also skilled nursing facilities AKA nursing homes.
Independent living facilities are for seniors that do not require assistance, but prefer to live in a community that is sensitive to their needs and lifestyle. The facilities are generally apartment style living or free standing apartments. They offer club houses and activities for their residents.
What if you can't quite manage on your won, but don't need a medical caregiver around all the time. Maybe you just need some help with a few of the regular things you need to do on a regular basis. It might be that an assisted living center is your best option. They provide a facility and caregiver to help you with just that. They can also help you with some of the organizing you need to get through a week.
Colorado Springs also has terrific nursing homes. These are for those residents that require more serious medical attention than can be provided by the other senior living facilities. These facilities have a caregiver on staff 24/7 and are prepared to offer medical assistance as needed.
If you do select Colorado Springs as your destination of choice, and are in need of an assisted living facility, I'd like to suggest Constant Care of Colorado Springs. It's a wonderful facility with a caring staff and a family environment. You'll be glad you visited.
