Independent Living Communities Offer Many Benefits

March 30, 2024 by MStar Living in Independent Living

As the population ages, 55+ independent living communities have become a popular option for seniors around the country.  The appeal includes making their lives easier by moving into a maintenance free apartment that meets their needs without giving up their independence.  Today’s communities’ offers older adults security and safety as well as peace of mind knowing others are always around.  

Independent living communities are a place where similarly aged people in a similar time of life comfortably live among one another.  Moreover, such communities solve a growing problem reported by many seniors, that of loneliness.  As we grow older our social circle gets smaller as many older adults have retired from jobs that created opportunities for day-to-day contact with acquaintances and business associates.  In addition, some seniors no longer feel comfortable driving, which in turn, can limit their ability to socialize.  Study after study has shown that isolation becomes a bigger problem as we age and can lead to severe loneliness and even depression.  On the other hand, community living naturally promotes new friendships and regular socialization. 

At MorningStar of Kirkland, we have stylish independent living apartments that allow you to fully enjoy your retirement years stress free.  Floor plans include studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations and feature full kitchen, in-suite washer/dryer, handicap-accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems.  Our staff handles all the maintenance and weekly housekeeping is included.  And in case you were wondering, MorningStar is pet friendly. 

Our community offers impressive architecture and design throughout our spacious common areas designed for residents to relax and socialize. Amenities include an art studio, bistro/bar, theater/chapel, salon, fitness center, Zen garden, pool, sport courts and more.  Healthy, nutritious meals created by our Executive Chef are served in our full-service dining room and on the outdoor dining deck.
