To Massachusetts natives Jan and Jim Roberts, Siena Lakes, the Erickson Senior Living community in Naples, Fla., was the perfect place to make the most of their retirement.

"After 16 years of enjoying Florida's balmy weather, we knew we didn't want to return to the cold," says Jan, with a laugh.

Drawn to the community's vibrant lifestyle and continuing care services, the Roberts contacted Siena Lakes' sales team to learn more and peruse available apartment homes.

"We wanted to pick a place that we liked - before our children needed to choose for us," explains Jim. "When we found a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment home with a den, we were sold. We love it! The view outside our windows is beautiful."

What made their decision even better was the ability to customize their new home.

Now that the Roberts have installed a kitchen peninsula, additional closet space, and some personal touches, the couple is living the carefree retirement they've always imagined - in a beautiful space that reflects their current wants and needs.

Customize your space

"When people move to a senior living community, they want a home that suits their new lifestyle," explains Sales Director Suzy McAllister.

While the Roberts knew that they were going to enjoy an active lifestyle at Siena Lakes, they wanted a personalized retreat to return to at the end of a busy day.

Jan and Jim, quite the wine connoisseurs, wanted a special place for their favorite vintages. So, in their spacious kitchen island, shelves were exchanged for a wine rack.

They also installed a kitchen peninsula to provide them with not only more cabinets and drawers, but additional counter space as well.

By adding a large-screen TV, a sofa bed, end tables with lamps, and occasional chairs to the second bedroom, the couple created a flexible space - perfect for hosting and entertaining guests!

In the den, they added a built-in closet with sliding doors to provide extra storage. "It was a good decision," Jan says.

They had shelving and bifold doors installed in their other closets as well, to free up wall and floor space for additional furnishings.

More outside your door

Now that Jan and Jim are feeling comfortable in their new abode, they spend plenty of time out and about at Siena Lakes.

Jan belongs to a canasta club that plays every Monday, Jim has started practicing tai chi, and, as a couple, they play bocce every Thursday in the community's league.

"We have met many new people here, so we have many dinner dates," says Jan. "We're on the go constantly. We take a walk every day - the campus is just beautiful. Plus, we get to see other people and pet their dogs!"

"We find a lot of things to do, and we find a lot of places to go," agrees Jim.

When the Roberts aren't participating in clubs or activities, you'll most likely find them relaxing in their lanai or traveling the world.

"We love our lanai. It's absolutely perfect!" says Jim. "Its unique shape allows us to see both sunrises and sunsets. We added a shade that offers protection from both the sun and rain."

The Roberts have loved traveling to other countries and taking cruises over the years. Now, living at Siena Lakes makes it easier than ever.

"All we have to do is close the door," says Jan. "We let them know that we're leaving and we tell them when we're coming back - that's it! Our place is taken care of." 

What suits you

At Erickson Senior Living communities, retirees appreciate the opportunity for a fresh start - and the ability to customize apartment homes to suit their new lifestyle.

Some residents, like Jan and Jim, choose a spacious two-bedroom apartment home, knowing that they will transform the second room into an office, craft room, or guest room.

Others may choose a one-bedroom apartment home, knowing that they will spend most of their time enjoying the community's amazing amenities and social activities, which are easily accessible via climate-controlled walkways.

"Now that we're settled, there's nothing that we have to do except enjoy!" says Jan.

Invest in your future self at Siena Lakes. From top-notch amenities to affordable, maintenance-free apartment homes, you are sure to live your retirement to the fullest. Request more information today!

Is Paying for Senior Living a Worthwhile Expense?

The decision to invest in a senior living community is not always an easy one to make. However, paying for the services available can be very beneficial, especially as you grow older. Retirement communities that offer a continuum of care support individuals through various stages of life and accommodate unique and ever-changing needs. Here, St. Barnabas looks at the benefits of senior living and why its a worthwhile expense.Continuum of CareStart by thinking ahead and figuring out what your investment might mean in the future. Aging adults with evolving needs benefit from retirement communities that provide multiple levels of assistance. If youre a young, active retiree who is looking forward to making the most of every day in retirement, you can find what you need in an independent living community. Independent living communities combine the convenience of secure, upkeep-free living centered on your needs with the independence that you typically enjoy at home.If you or a loved one needs greater support for daily activities, accommodations with living assistance may be more ideal. Attendants provide 24/7 assistance, allowing residents to live as independently as they can while receiving more hands-on care for chronic illnesses and other conditions. Services may include: Regular safety checks Physical transfer assistance Ostomy and catheter care Incontinence support As health needs change, more in-depth services may be needed and can easily be accessed in a community that offers a broad range of support. Retirees who need short-term or long-term rehabilitative care can find it through skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing services are available for individuals who are recovering after a stroke, an injury, joint replacement surgery, or another event that may require access to a team of medical professionals to help them on the road to recovery.Balancing the Comforts of Home with Community EngagementWhile researching retirement communities, making sure your prospects feel like home is important in determining if paying for senior living is a worthwhile expense. Comfortable accommodations and a variety of amenities can help make the transition from home life to a senior living community easier.  Whats more, programming and social activities that keep residents active and meaningfully engaged with their neighbors can help make retirement life feel fulfilling. Some of the amenities to look for while searching for a retirement community include: Nutritious and delicious meals Calendar of social activities and special events Scenic grounds with opportunities for outdoor recreation Exercise centers and fitness classes Easy access to shops, movie theaters, and more Learn More from St. BarnabasAt St. Barnabas, we understand that your needs may not be the same today as your needs tomorrow or 10 years down the road. We offer several senior living options that support varying levels of need, including comprehensive care services. St. Barnabas proudly supports residents in the greater Pittsburgh area, including Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler counties.
