When you think about celebrating your best years, you’re probably not thinking about cleaning out your gutters. As an Independent Living resident with your own patio home, you can forget about the pesky day-to-day tasks and focus on what matters most – living it up with your neighbors and friends, and making each day more special than the last.

Each of our Independent Living patio homes comes complete with a full kitchen, all appliances, and a floor plan you can fill with your favorite pieces from home. Of course, we’ll tend to your lawn and make sure flowers are always in bloom – but you are more than welcome to decorate your own garden as you see fit. However it is you want to spend your days, you’ll always have access to housekeeping services, a calendar full of exciting activities, and a community of friends who will be eager to meet you. Just ask the Independent Living residents at The Villages at Oak Ridge

“I’ve always felt safe here. We have a Lifestyle Director that we can go to at any time with any questions or concerns, which has always given me an added sense of security. Even after retirement and feeling like I only had friends from work, I moved to a new place and have met so many new people.” – Joan H.
“I’ve lived here for seven years. Right away, I knew that the patio homes just felt like home. I was sold on the one-level entry, the attached garage, the opportunities to socialize with your neighbors, and having your own outside patio. The housekeeping, maintenance staff, and director are also wonderful. If you’re thinking about making a change, make the move to the patio homes! All of the amenities are worth it and it’s truly worry-free living at its very best.” – Barbara M.

A study from the Mayo Clinic states that one of the greatest risks to the health of seniors isn’t illness or injury – it’s isolation. As a member of a patio home community, residents can stay connected to the world at large with frequent opportunities for socialization; helping sharpen memory and increase feelings of happiness and wellbeing.

So sign up for that trip into town. Explore a new hobby or interest. Sit outside your patio home with an iced tea and take in the fresh air. The choices are endless – and they’re all yours.
