Retirement community the perfect cure for “Winter Blues”
TEANECK, NJ (January 9, 2011) -- When it comes to avoiding the dreaded “Winter Blues,” Heritage Pointe of Teaneck, a full-service retirement community, may be the ideal cure.
Tumbling temperatures and early nightfall can make it difficult to stay warm and get from place to place. And sometimes, even maintaining a positive outlook can be a challenge. Happily, the smorgasbord of amenities available at an independent retirement community like Heritage Pointe can absolutely minimize –or even eliminate – much of the seasonal stress.
“People particularly dislike cold weather when they have to face harsh conditions alone, and that includes shoveling paths, walking across slippery ground, and needing to constantly bundle up,” says Gil Santana, executive director of Heritage Pointe. “But living at a retirement community can, by its very nature, resolve many of these issues. When you’re a Heritage Pointe resident, your day-to-day routine can be as safe and easy in the winter as it is any other time of year.”
Specifically, Heritage Pointe’s multiple amenities enable residents to stay inside during inclement weather. Restaurant-style dining eliminates the need to venture outside for breakfast or dinner, and an on-premises hair-and-nail salon means no one has to trek out for an appointment with the beautician. In addition, even when a nor’easter keeps everyone indoors for days, there’s plenty to do – from a delightful lounge complete with a roaring hearth, to separate rooms for exercise, arts-and-crafts, and playing cards, to a versatile “gathering” room.
And if an occasion arises when it becomes necessary to head out into the snow, there will be a professional crew keeping all walkways clear. And there’s always scheduled transport to local banks, pharmacies, and supermarkets.
“Most of our residents spent years dealing with the worst winter can dish out,” Santana adds. “Now, living at Heritage Pointe allows them to enjoy the beauty of the season in comfort, without weather-related worries.”
