Renting Your Way in Retirement
Are you a Lee’s Summit or Kansas City area senior considering a smooth transition into retirement living? Have you considered the advantages that come with renting in a senior living community? While senior living communities traditionally involve that residents pay an entry fee, a rental option is another popular option offered by communities like John Knox Village, presenting a wealth of benefits without the upfront financial commitment.
Here are compelling reasons why renting in a senior living community might be the best option for you:
1. Maintenance-Free Freedom
Say goodbye to endless yard work, leaky faucets, and pesky appliance repairs. Enjoy the free time that comes with professionals (we don’t use this term) handling everything from landscaping and housekeeping to community upkeep. This newfound freedom will allow you to focus on what truly matters: pursuing passions, spending time with loved ones, and embracing an active lifestyle.
2. A Vibrant Social Circle
Loneliness can sometimes be a concern as we age, but senior living communities offer a built-in social circle. Picture yourself in a bustling community like John Knox Village buzzing with friendly faces, common dining areas, and engaging activities. Shared social events, fitness classes, game nights, and outings create an atmosphere where you can forge meaningful connections and discover lifelong pursuits.
3. Unmatched Amenities at Your Doorstep
Senior living communities go beyond housing; they’re lifestyle havens. Many communities boast fitness centers, restaurant-style dining options, libraries, movie theaters, and even on-site arts and crafts studios. No more worrying about gym memberships or commutes for entertainment – it’s all right there in a senior living community!
At John Knox Village, we offer comprehensive services, amenities, community activities and programs that make us Kansas City’s most popular retirement community, including:
· Multiple on-campus dining venues
· Coffee shop
· Swimming pools
· Fitness centers
· Arts and crafts studio
· 9-hole golf course
· Library and move theater
And so much more.
4. Dining Included
Not only does John Knox Village provide an array of amenities, but we also take pride in offering multiple on-campus dining venues. Residents have the convenience of having delicious meals just steps away from your home. This dining feature not only enhances your daily experience but significantly amplifies the overall value of your monthly rent when compared to renting an apartment outside of a community.
5. Financial Flexibility and Predictability of Renting
Renting in a senior living community eliminates the upfront cost of an entry fee. Monthly fees typically cover rent, utilities, and a package of services and amenities, providing residents with predictable budgeting and financial flexibility. With the bonus of on-site dining programs, monthly rent becomes an even more significant value proposition compared to renting outside of a community.
