Moving into a new place can feel overwhelming at first for you, as it takes time to get familiar with your new surroundings and establish a comfortable living space. When you choose to move into a Sun Health Life Care Community, you’ll be surrounded by folks in similar stages of life enjoying it to the fullest. These shared experiences with your fellow community members provide a comforting environment as you settle into your new life of luxury.
A Sun Health Community is a wondrous place for you to live and settle down because our residents are incredibly welcoming. In a survey conducted after residents moved in, they rated the friendliness of other residents a 9.3 out of 10. This warmth of outgoingness from your neighbors greatly helps your transition to a new phase in life as you put down roots in the community you joined. We even offer an ambassador program to pair you with an established resident who guides you through your first stages of community living.
Additionally, 99% of those surveyed said they made new friends after moving into a Sun Health Community. With an average of 12 social programs and activities to choose from each day, there are always opportunities for you to create new connections with individuals who share similar interests. From guest speakers and performers, fitness classes, elegant dinners, happy hours, card games, and arts and crafts, there is always something to fill your social calendar.
Furthermore, you can venture on a group-led excursion or outing away from the community to explore the city. All of this allows you to rediscover old hobbies, explore new interests, and make connections along the way. When you take all this into consideration, it’s no surprise over 70% of our residents shared that their quality of life has improved since they decided to make Sun Health their home.
Feeling welcomed and being well-connected in the place you live is spectacular for your health and well-being. Social isolation and loneliness are risk factors for older adults, with a quarter of those 65 years or older experiencing it. A Sun Health community encourages social connections, and as a result, over 70% of residents who reported suffering from loneliness before moving to the community no longer feel that way. This is important, as lack of social connection is associated with a plethora of negative health risks.
