Senior's Community
from: Pat MoauroA "Senior's Community" may conjure up images of frail individuals in wheel chairs, muttering unintelligible things as they slowly wheel themselves down the halls of a nursing home. Since some develop medical problems as they age, this kind of senior's community still exists and will likely continue to exist for several decades, or until medical science can find ways to keep people healthy, agile and active until the day they die.
This scenario is possible today to some degree. Medical care, though still expensive and sometimes elusive, is easier to obtain today than it was a century ago. The medical advances of the last fifty years have enabled children to lead healthier lives. As a result of a healthy childhood, many adults have healthier lives, usually resulting in healthier and more active years as a senior. This improvement in one's health has caused a change in the kind of senior's community now available.
Many seniors have had difficulty with transportation. However, today many communities have developed some form of transportation program that frequently uses the services of volunteers. Whatever the method, many seniors now have greater freedom and ability to leave their residence and see other parts of their community.
Mobile Seniors
Many housing developments are being created for individuals 55 and older. These communities can range from manufactured homes to single family dwellings or condominiums. These residential communities provide a variety of activities for the residents. Many seniors now have access to activities that they have time to enjoy.
Many seniors invest in some form of mobile or recreational vehicle and travel throughout the country. These seniors now have the time to take leisure trips and see places they have always wanted to visit. They are seeing a senior's community that is far larger than any senior expected to see even fifty years ago.
The senior's community has even become as large as the world. Many who are about to join the ranks of seniors have learned to use computers and become acquainted with the Internet. Such computer literate seniors will be able to broaden their community by connecting with other people globally.
Seniors with reduced mobility are no longer limited in their ability to connect with other people. Computers allow homebound seniors the opportunity to connect with people outside their home, outside their state and even outside their country. Online groups for seniors share information and allow people to get in touch with one another. Thanks to technology, the senior's community has changed, and many seniors are wondering how it will look ten years from now.
