There’s a common misconception that senior living communities are only for those who need assisted living or long-term care. It is one reason many older adults don’t consider moving to a community until they need care, which can mean missing out on all the benefits independent senior living offers.

Here, residents can enjoy independent living without the headaches of upkeep and maintenance in a home that may have become too big. Learn more about independent living at Buckner Villas today.

Why Choose Independent Senior Living?
You may wonder why you should sell your house and move to independent senior living when healthy and active. The simple answer is that being healthy and active allows you to take advantage of all of the activities available. Many of our residents wish they had made a move sooner. Some of the main reasons are:
- Simplicity and freedom – Not having to deal with the expenses and hassles of home maintenance is a relief. Residents have more time to do what they enjoy and discover and pursue new interests.
- Social connections – The effects of social isolation can have devastating impacts on your mental and physical wellbeing. Independent senior living provides a built-in support network, and social opportunities are a regular part of daily life.
- Staying active – Staying mentally and physically active is vital to wellbeing. Often, seniors living alone do not realize how inactive they have become. Independent senior living provides activities to keep you mentally and physically engaged.
- Access to care – Unfortunately, no one can predict when their health might change, especially later in life. Residents in independent senior living have immediate access to quality care right within their community when an unexpected health problem arises.
At Buckner Villas, independent senior living residents are not limited to activities and opportunities offered here. The greater Austin area provides endless organizations and volunteer groups that many residents join. Additionally, the Buckner Villas community organizes multiple year-round events that benefit local and national organizations, adding to the chance to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.
