1. Socialization
This is a big one! Research has proven the dangers of feeling lonely and isolated, which unfortunately is often what many older adults experience when living at home. However, in an independent living community, you are never far from someone who’d love to join you for a walk, an exercise class, a lively discussion about the latest book, happy hour, a special outing to a nearby attraction, and so much more.
At St. Mark Village, our activities calendar has everything from line dancing to trivia to water aerobics to poker and more. We place a high value on socialization! That’s because when you’re spending time with people you enjoy, your immune system grows stronger, your risk of chronic disease drops, your memory improves, and your heart is happier. It’s the perfect setting for feeling your best!

2. Freedom
When you’re living at home, a to-do list can feel like a big weight on your shoulders. Repairs, bills, shopping for and preparing meals, cleaning the house, taking care of the lawn – it can become exhausting. And it robs you of spare time for really enjoying life.
In an independent living community such as St. Mark Village, the emphasis is on carefree, active senior living. That means we take care of all the details and chores of daily living, so you can be free to pursue your passions, explore new interests, reconnect with friends and family, savor delicious dining (without the preparation or cleanup), and do just about anything you want to, whenever you want to do it. That’s what maintenance-free living is all about!
3. Security
When your environment feels safe and secure, you feel better about everything. In an independent living community, you can relax knowing the attention is always on your wellbeing. Services such as 24/7 security, emergency response systems, and staff on the premises around the clock make a big difference. Being under the watchful eye of senior living professionals and specially trained care teams also enhances peace of mind.
And don’t forget the sense of security that comes from having a plan in place for the future. In a Life Care Community such as St. Mark Village, you can relax knowing all levels of care available, on site, if needed. Choosing Life Care at St. Mark Village means financial security, value, and peace of mind.
4. Healthy living
Active senior living means you have access to important elements of healthy aging: exercise, socialization, peace of mind, lifelong learning, security, and for sure, nutritious and delicious dining. At St. Mark Village, we recognize the strong connection between exceptional dining that delivers important nutrition and a focused exercise regimen. In fact, many of our residents are seeing impressive results—and we are always adding new ways to stay strong, active, and independent—as well as new selections on our menus!
