The Seniors Who Don't Want To Die

I recently went on a road trip with my husband.  It occurred to me, after visiting Mesa Verde National Park, that seniors don't want to die.  There were seniors with their grandchildren, seniors traveling with friends, seniors laughing, and some were traveling with other couples. There were a lot of them at each spot we went to.  They don't want to work themselves to death anymore but enjoy their surroundings with others or partners.  They were friendly, adventurous, and had zest in their step.  They might not be up all night but they were definitely active.

Senior life has it's advantages since everything is not centered around making money and working.  It's a time to strategize what's next.  You worked hard all your life.  Now what? Downsize from your large home?  Get into the best shape of your life? Volunteer? Travel? Relax? Do it all?

As more baby boomers retire, the real estate industry, as well as other industries, have been gearing toward this group of people's desire to enjoy life.  There are senior tours, clubs, cruises, card and game groups, volunteering seniors, senior activities, foodies, and those that want to
learn something new, etc.  What a passion this segment of life has for life.  "The seniors that don't want to die".

If you look into the Loveland CO senior housing area, there is 55+ living at Lakeshore at Centerra,

Affinity at Loveland, West Lake Village, Victoria Mannor, and patio homes in and around Loveland like Radiant Dr and in Marianna Butte.  These homes offer a community where you don't take care of maintenance or minimal amounts, activities are offered, social gatherings, gyms, etc.  With this type of housing, seniors are able to leave their homes without worry for an extended time.  Neighbors watch out for each other, the lawn care people mow the law, the watering is on a timer, the kids are gone and you are left to enjoy yourself until YOU decide to go home.  If you want more information on downsizing or patio homes, call me.

It's amazing to me the power this age group has influenced our society every ten years of their life. The baby boomers have changed the way we buy, the way we socialize, the way we eat, the way we spend our days.  And now, they don't want to lay down and die but be active, social, and a major contributor to their families, friends, and communities.

If you need something done - ask a senior.  They have the time and are willing to help.  They don't want to lay around and let life pass them by.
