You may think that adults wait to move to senior communities until they are alone and have no one to help care for them, but the truth is, senior living communities are ideal for married couples, who now have more time to spend together.

At Victorian Village Senior Community, you’ll find married couples dining together, participating in community activities, socializing, and having fun with other residents. While many people in our community are single, we also have plenty of married couples who moved here together.

Selling your home and moving into a senior living community is a big decision and a major life change. But the decision and transition can be smoother and a little easier when you make the move as a couple, especially if one person needs assisted living or other healthcare services.

One reason many couples resist moving into senior living is because they don’t want to be separated if their spouse needs additional assistance. Fortunately, Victorian Village offers a continuum of care, covering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care, making it easy for couples to stay together regardless of the level of assistance they require.

Moving into a community where both individual’s needs are met helps reduce stress for couples as they age. Waiting until something happens that requires a move into a senior living community can put a huge amount of strain on a relationship. At that point, it’s possible that one person has been shouldering the burden of being a caregiver for quite some time, which can lead to high levels of stress, anxiety, and frustration, also known as caregiver burden.

Knowing your spouse is being cared for properly allows both of you to relax and have peace of mind. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much independence both you and your partner regain. While moving into a senior living community means making some adjustments, it can also be a great new start to the next chapter of life for you and your spouse.
