Summer of Independent Living: How Our Residents Make the Most of the Season
Summer at Buena Vida Estates is more than sunshine and a warm breeze – it’s a time for our residents to stay active, social, and fully in charge of how they spend their days. As a Life Plan Community, we empower our residents to enjoy independent living with the peace of mind that comes from knowing support is there if ever needed.
Here’s a look at how we make summer vibrant, meaningful, and all about choice.
A Full Calendar of Activities – You Pick the Pace
At Buena Vida, you’re free to stay as busy (or as relaxed) as you’d like. Our activities team curates a wide range of options each month, including:
- Outdoor gatherings and live entertainment
- Chair yoga and fitness classes
- Ice cream socials and summer BBQs
- Group excursions to local shops, theaters, and restaurants
- Garden parties and themed dinners
- Book clubs, painting workshops, and crafting circles
And the best part? You decide what works for you.
Independent Living With a Safety Net
What sets Buena Vida Estates apart is that we offer true independence without sacrificing security. Our independent living residents have all the freedom of their own apartments or cottages, without the hassle of home maintenance or the worry of “what if?”
If needs change, our full continuum of care (including assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care) is right here on campus. That’s freedom to live your life today, with confidence about tomorrow.
Independence Means Different Things to Different People
For some residents, independence is starting each morning with a brisk walk through the gardens. For others, it’s having the freedom to explore new hobbies, volunteer, or spend time with friends – all without the stress of home upkeep or transportation.
We believe the best kind of independent living retirement gives you the space to choose what matters most to you, with the support to make it all possible.
Stay Cool, Stay Social, Stay Independent
Whether you’re off to a local ice cream shop, sipping lemonade on the patio, or joining friends for chair yoga, summer at Buena Vida Estates is filled with opportunities to enjoy life your way.
