Senior Living Offers Many Benefits

If you have gotten tired of the constant maintenance and repairs that home ownership requires, it may be time for a change. Perhaps you feel like your social life has shrunk since you retired, or maybe you have recently suffered the loss of your spouse and are lonely. Many seniors who have felt like you do have discovered the advantages of 55+ senior living communities like MorningStar of Pasadena, and have not looked back.

To start with, senior living means never having to worry about mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, or coming up with the money to replace a furnace or air conditioning system. Seniors also say they enjoy living in a community of people around their same age and who share many of their same interests. At MorningStar of Pasadena, residents have opportunities for new friendships as well as to participate in a range of activities as much or as little as they like. We additionally give residence security of knowing someone is always around with a 24-hour emergency call system.

If you are downsizing from a home that is larger than you need, senior living may even be financially beneficial. Predictable budgeting is another peace of mind benefit as all of your bills are rolled into one monthly payment including basic cable TV, utilities and phone. Daily housekeeping services, restaurant-style dining, and onsite amenities including a general store, fitness center, 24/7 Concierge Services among others, ensures your retirement years are truly stress-free.

How Many Steps Per Day for Better Health?

We have all heard about the value of walking 10,000 steps a day but recent studies show it may not actually be the magic number. One study published by JAMA found walking 7,000 steps or more a day may decrease the risk for mortality and offer better overall health. In the cohort study of 2110 adults with a mean follow-up of 10.8 years, participants who walked at least 7000 steps a day, compared with those taking fewer than 7000 steps, had a 50% to 70% lower risk of mortality. Researchers also noted, “There was no association of step intensity with mortality regardless of adjustment for step volume.” A 2020 study found a decreased risk for mortality in participants who took 8,000 steps a day than those who only took 4,000 steps a day. In the same year, another study found more steps taken each day were linked to lower rates of diabetes. Researchers say the bottom line is evidence points to the importance of increased physical activity. Before you begin walking, talk to your health...

Aid & Attendance benefits are a tax-free pension paid directly to a qualified veteran or their spouse in the form of monthly payments, which is subject to change annuall...
