Retirement marks the start of an exciting new chapter for those who are ready and willing to embrace life’s next adventures. During these golden years, seniors have the opportunity to ‘begin again’ and live their lives to the fullest, however that may look like to them.
For some, that means engaging in long-held interests, discovering brand new hobbies and forming valuable friendships. And it’s these very concepts that independent living retirement communities are all about providing for their residents.
Independent living communities are designed for seniors who are fully independent but would like to live in a social environment with avenues for connection and engagement during their retirement years.
Williams Lake Seniors Village is one example of one of those dynamic living communities.
Located in in the beautiful rural city of Williams Lake, the boutique retirement community offers both independent and assisted living options for residents. In addition to the spectacular country views, Williams Lake Seniors Village offers their community members plenty of freedom and choice through fulfilling experiences that tap into their passions for knowledge, creativity, fun and camaraderie.
“When a new resident moves in, the comment we always hear is ‘I wish I had moved in sooner,’” shares Rob Akimow, Director of Sales and Marketing of West Coast Seniors Housing Management. “We see folks who previously may have been feeling isolated or lonely build new friendships in their new community — it’s really quite heartwarming.”
Williams Lake Seniors Village offers an endless amount of enriching daily programs and activities. Their residents can experience their shared special interests together, including bingo, board games, discussion groups, trivia, exercise groups and gardening.
As well, their residents are known to take an active role in cultivating a shared sense of community.
“My late husband and I used to volunteer here for bible study, we were always comforted by the surroundings here,” says Jean, a resident at Williams Lake Seniors Village. “After he passed I decided it would be the perfect place for me to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. The staff are incredible and it feels like home.”
It’s no wonder that residents at Williams Lake Seniors Village proudly call this lively living community their home.
