Regularly connecting with those you enjoy might just be the best secret for healthy aging and longevity. And when you live in a maintenance-free environment that gives you more time and more opportunities to do just that, you know you’ve hit on something wonderful. That’s why the right senior living lifestyle might be just what you’ve been waiting for.
Ask yourself what you really want. Is the senior living lifestyle right for you?
- Am I ready to leave household chores, repairs, obligations, and other endless maintenance concerns behind and let someone else worry about all of it?
- Would I like to make new friends so I can dine in good company when I choose, join them in an activity or event, share my memories, and know that I need not feel alone or lonely?
- Am I eager to wake up each morning knowing I can choose from fun and engaging activities and events designed to help me keep growing mentally, socially and spiritually?
- Would I like to begin or renew a fitness program that helps me grow stronger, improves my balance and strength, enhances my overall wellness, and refreshes my energy? (And have fun doing it?)
- Would I enjoy living in a community with everything I need, including seamless access to future care options if my needs change?
- Would I appreciate feeling safe and secure, knowing someone was always close by if needed, and not having to rely on family or friends in an emergency?
If you find yourself nodding as you read these questions, you are a good candidate for the senior living lifestyle. At St. Mark Village, we’d like to tell you even more about the impact this choice could make on your life.

Benefits of the senior living lifestyle:
- Each day brings something new to explore and enjoy. At St. Mark Village, you benefit from a professional staff dedicated to making every day a great day. Free from household upkeep or chores, you can make friends, pursue your passions, bike around the beautiful grounds, join a line-dancing course, attend a worship service, enjoy an ice cream cone, tend to your roses in the garden, invite the grandkids over or just relax in your lovely private apartment.
So much to do—and in our carefree senior living lifestyle, so much more time to do it!
- Countless opportunities for healthy socializing. Spending quality time with others is considered one of the most effective ways to protect our mental health as we age, improving mood, cognition, and memory recall. A senior living lifestyle makes it easy to connect with fellow residents as well as with family through technology, exercise, games, special events, and much more.
What’s more, being around an interesting mix of people around keeps your brain energized. In fact, the Alzheimer’s Association recommends seniors connect with others to help maintain brain activity and stave off dementia.
- The reassurance of a plan for the future. Even if you’re in great shape now, health concerns can emerge at any time. Changes in vision, mobility, or hearing can become a barrier to leading a connected, active lifestyle. However, if you choose a senior living lifestyle such as that offered at St. Mark Village, you can still enjoy access to a range of activities, classes, and outings designed to fit your needs.
In addition, you have the peace of mind of knowing that should your needs change, assistance will be available right here at St. Mark Village, from people you know, where you already feel at home. It gives you seamless access to future care options.
- Scheduled transportation adds to your independence. No need to worry about being stuck because you are no longer drive or do not have a car…at least not if are enjoying the senior living lifestyle. The goal is to help you stay on the move in more ways than one. In fact, you probably will find that letting us do the driving can free you to experience more than you ever imagined. (And without the stress of crazy traffic or tight parking spots!)
- Dining is a pleasure again. Even if you enjoy cooking, you probably don’t enjoy it as much when it’s just dinner for one, or the same leftovers over and over again. In a senior living lifestyle, you don’t have to plan a meal, shop for ingredients, prepare it or do the dishes…it’s all done and waiting for you, in a gracious venue with lots of good company.
Getting the nutrition you need isn’t easy after age 55; but at St. Mark Village, our talented culinary team understands that wellness and dining together.
