Independent Living Communities Are a Popular Option
As the population ages, 55+ independent living communities have become a popular option for seniors around the country. The appeal includes making their lives easier by moving into a maintenance free apartment that meets their needs without giving up their independence. Today’s communities’ offers older adults security and safety as well as peace of mind knowing others are always around.
Independent living communities are a place where similarly aged people in a similar time of life comfortably live among one another. Moreover, such communities solve a growing problem reported by many seniors, that of loneliness. As we grow older our social circle gets smaller as many older adults have retired from jobs that created opportunities for day-to-day contact with acquaintances and business associates. In addition, some seniors no longer feel comfortable driving, which in turn, can limit their ability to socialize. Study after study has shown that isolation becomes a bigger problem as we age and can lead to severe loneliness and even depression. On the other hand, independent living communities naturally promote new friendships and regular socialization.
At MorningStar of Hayward, we offer stylish independent living apartments that allow you to fully enjoy your retirement years stress free. Floor plans range from studio and alcove to one-bedroom or two-bedroom configurations and feature kitchenettes, handicap-accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems. Our staff handles all the maintenance and weekly housekeeping is included. And in case you were wondering, MorningStar is pet friendly!
Residents enjoy common areas including beautiful gathering spaces, library, bistro, theater/chapel, salon, ice cream parlor, fitness center, garage parking and more. Healthy, nutritious meals created by our Executive Chef are served in our full-service dining room and on the outdoor dining deck. In addition to independent living, we offer assisted living, memory care, respite care and short-term stays.

MorningStar Offers Independent Living in Hayward
MorningStar of Hayward is committed to providing the finest senior living in the area and we encourage you to take a closer look at the many benefits of moving into an independent living community. While some seniors feel strongly about remaining in their homes after retirement, other seniors are very happy to have discovered the advantages of community living.
To start with, for many seniors the family home starts to feel very empty once the kids have moved out. In addition, you are still stuck with all the upkeep and maintenance of the home including yard care and the costs of repairs and replacement. Senior living on the other hand, means no more concerns about maintenance inside or out.
An independent living community also offers the security of predictable budgeting, which allows you to know just what your monthly expenses will be as most are included in your monthly fee. It also solves another problem many seniors face – loneliness. As we age, older adults can have difficulty getting out and about, and may be at risk of losing their social ties and more likely to develop health problems that come with loneliness. An independent living community offers the advantage of a private apartment and the chance to socialize whenever you choose with built-in companionship.
Independent living communities such as MorningStar of Hayward provide residents with activities and programming that ensure you are never bored. Whether you want to attend an exercise class, play cards or a board game, get a haircut, or catch a movie, independent living gives you the chance to do it all on-site.
Moreover, it is typically less stressful for seniors to make the transition to independent living before they “need” to move into assisted living. Selling your home and moving can be stressful and it is much easier to do while you are still able and healthy.

Senior Independent Living Offers a Community of Friends
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports about 14.7 million seniors live alone. We know various causes including chronic and worsening health conditions, hearing loss, no longer driving, mobility issues, loss of a spouse or other loved ones can result in loneliness and isolation for older adults on their own.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, “Social isolation and loneliness in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States, and puts them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions.” They cite statistics showing social isolation significantly increases a person’s risk of premature death, and rivals those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Moreover, studies find social isolation is associated with approximately a 50% increased risk of dementia, a 29% increased risk of heart disease and a 32% increased risk of stroke. The CDC also warns loneliness is linked to higher risk of depression, suicide and anxiety.
Housing for independent seniors offers older adults a built-in community of people at a similar stage of life as well as a variety of social activities that appeal to many tastes and preferences.

Senior Independent Living Communities Offer Many Benefits
Did you know more and more older adults are making the choice to move into senior living communities? Seniors are embracing the idea of giving up home maintenance and spending more time doing what they love best, including being able to travel without worrying about snow piling up or the lawn needing to be mowed. Independent living communities offer private apartments designed to meet residents’ needs along with common areas ideal for sitting and relaxing with friends and dining rooms offering delicious restaurant-style meals.
Another reason many seniors are choosingindependent living communitiesis the appeal of living among like-minded people of the same age. Socializing is important to our wellbeing and isolation can lead to depression or worsen health problems. For seniors who no longer work and/or have stopped or limited their driving, it can get more and more difficult to maintain normal social interactions. Senior living communities offer easy opportunities for residents to meet new friends or engage in social activities and special events.
