More and more seniors are embracing the lock and leave lifestyle, allowing them to travel freely without worrying about home maintenance or security. Life plan communities such as St. Mark Village are a perfect choice for seniors eager to use their newfound freedom to explore.
Lock and leave with no hesitation
Imagine just being able to go on a trip or vacation at a moment’s notice, without having to worry about who will bring in the newspaper, water the front yard, check on your home at night, get the mail while you’re gone, or know what to do if a weather emergency strikes and damage occurs.
Instead of all that, “lock and leave” means you can just choose your destination, make your travel arrangements, and then…just lock the door to your independent living apartment and leave!
Go When You Want – a Perk of CCRC Living
Like other residents of Life Plan Communities, you benefit from maintenance-free living, which takes away all the worries of living in a home. And that includes what you leave for vacation.
Here’s just a short list of what you no longer must do!
- No home emergencies to worry about (plumbing issue or damaged roof)
- No yard to have mowed or garden to keep in shape (no more weeds!)
- No need to burden a family member with checking on your home (they have enough to do already)
- No worrying over break-ins or security breaches (you’re free of that stress)
- No fear of damage from a sudden storm (you’re a resident of a secure community in a non-evacuation zone!)
Instead, you get to embrace all that life has to offer, and that includes traveling without being weighed down about the worries of a house. It’s just one of the ways St. Mark Villages offers freedom, convenience and peace of mind for active seniors who love to explore.
5 ways St. Mark Village supports the lock and leave lifestyle
Maintenance-free lifestyle. Spend your days doing just what you please, knowing there is no longer a to-do list weighing you down. So instead of arranging a day waiting on a repairman, you can be spontaneous and go where your spirit takes you. To a movie in the theater? A game of cards? Maybe a quick dip in the pool?
Peace of mind. Now that so many things are no longer on your mind, you can relax. You don’t have to call a security company at midnight to find out why an alarm isn’t working or worry who is at the front door. You have the confidence of knowing that you live in a CCRC with an on-site staff of professionals who are there to assist you around the clock and emergency protocols when needed.
Easy living. You no longer must shop for or plan meals. A lock and leave lifestyle means when you’re ready for a meal, you have lots of choices—delicious choices—available every day. With no dishes to wash! And you can enjoy good company with whom to share your meals whenever you choose.
A vibrant atmosphere. When you’re on a great vacation, you feel the energy of where you are. It’s the same in today’s life plan communities. There’s so much to do…parties, concerts, picnics, outings, fitness classes, games, special events…every day, you can choose something different. And it’s all right there, waiting for you!
Freedom to explore. A spur-of-the-moment vacation is just one reason a CCRC like St. Mark Village is a great place to live. It’s also the atmosphere—an energy that inspires residents to think beyond what they’ve done before. Try new hobbies. Take up a new sport or fitness regimen. Call a friend and invite them over for lunch to see how wonderful carefree living can be. Plus, countless opportunities for lifelong learning through classes, lectures, armchair travel, and more.
