Unveiling the Truths: Myths About Senior Living Debunked

What’s stopping you from moving to an independent living community? Do you think an assisted living community is more like a nursing home?

As more and more baby boomers turn 65, assisted living facilities are changing to meet new needs. Here are some of the misconceptions about senior living.

Myth 1: “Senior living is a place for old people, and it’s dirty and smelly.”

Let’s set the record straight. Senior living is not a place where you’re left feeling isolated or surrounded by unpleasant conditions.

At Civitas Senior Living communities, we’ve redefined what senior living means. Say goodbye to stereotypes! Our communities are vibrant, welcoming, and impeccably maintained. Rest assured that we have created spaces you’ll be proud to call home.

Myth 2: “My kids are trying to get rid of me. I won’t be able to live a fulfilling life.”

We understand the importance of maintaining independence and leading a life filled with joy and purpose.

Civitas communities embrace the spirit of individuality. Our communities are hubs of activity, laughter, and growth. From engaging games to enriching experiences, you’ll be part of a close-knit community that values your happiness and well-being.

Many people think they might be trapped in independent or assisted living. The world beyond our doors remains open to you with outings and transportation services. However, our memory care communities are secure to prevent wandering.

Myth 3: “Senior living is boring, and there isn’t much to do.”

Boring? Not on our watch! Imagine stepping into a world where every day is a new adventure.

Our communities’ Passion Program is about creating a vibrant social scene. It’s like reliving your college days, says our resident. Senior living provides the energy, camaraderie, and sheer excitement of being among friends daily.

Whether it’s arts and crafts, social clubs, fitness classes, or simply sharing stories over coffee, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Myth 4: “I will have a difficult time connecting and making new friends.”

Making friends is a beautiful part of life, no matter your age. Our communities are designed to foster connections and create meaningful relationships.

Don’t be surprised if you form bonds that last a lifetime. We’ve even hosted weddings for residents who found love within our walls. Civitas Senior Living is a place to thrive, connect, and celebrate life together.
