The nearly 76 million baby boomers in the U.S. are beginning to retire and look toward investing in an assisted living community. This generation has seen a rise in health care and social assistance, and the team of senior advisors at CarePatrol of New York in White Plains understand exactly how to work with your loved ones to determine where they would be the safest, happiest, and most active. They have gathered some of their advice below.

Top Assisted Living Qualities Baby Boomers Consider

Custom Amenities 

Baby boomers have never been fans of the one-size-fits-all approach, and this extends to their desires for retirement. After saving for decades, they are ready to spend their hard-earned money on custom amenities and concierge services like gyms, modified exercise classes, personal chefs, technology classes, and on-call transportation. They also place design and safety features high on their list, including non-slip floors, wider doorways, and entryways without steps.

Active Lifestyle

assisted livingMany seniors don’t view themselves as an “old person,” and they want to continue the active lifestyle they’ve grown accustomed to. Unlike the previous “silent generation,” they want to embrace active retirement. This means they prefer access to higher education, leisure, and personal hobbies over sitting in a chair and being inactive all day. 

Community 

The baby boomer generation popularized the move to the suburbs, where they own a home and are invested in the community. Whether they choose assisted living inside their homes or look for a nursing home elsewhere, community is important to them. They value group outings, travel options, social activities, and nightly dining options.
