Does the idea of shopping for a one-bedroom apartment bring back memories of your college years or renting your first apartment as a young adult? When you recall the sense of freedom and adventure you had back then, you may realize it’s not that different from how you feel about the changes ahead as you plan your retirement years. Moving into a senior living community can help you enjoy the best of both worlds — the carefree aspects of apartment living combined with a remarkable lifestyle you’ll only find in a retirement community.
Downsizing to a smaller living space isn’t just about the square footage; it’s about all the experiences you’ll gain in a community that opens the door to an expanded lifestyle. You’ll have the freedom to choose your own path and be surrounded by the hospitality of a community full of interesting and adventurous people just like you. Let’s explore some of the benefits of moving to an apartment in a senior living community in Charleston, WV:
Maintenance-Free Living
Household chores like cooking, cleaning, yardwork, and home upkeep require a lot of your time and energy, and you have better ways to spend your free time! Moving to a senior apartment removes the hassle and costs associated with home maintenance. When you choose an independent living apartment at Edgewood Summit, our professional team will handle all your maintenance needs, both inside and out.
Less Is More
Decluttering and simplifying your life can be an uplifting experience that allows you to focus your energy on what matters most to you. For many seniors, a one-bedroom apartment is perfectly sized for their needs and lifestyle and reducing the unnecessary “stuff” in their lives makes more room for experiences in retirement. You may be surprised by how much you enjoy the freedom of living in a smaller space with an abundance of opportunities for wellness, lifelong learning, volunteerism, and social engagement in a senior living community.
Rewarding Amenities and Activities
You won’t miss having extra rooms in your home when there’s so much to enjoy outside your door, including restaurant-style dining, a fitness center, social lounge, art studio, library, salon and spa, club, and card room. With life-enhancing amenities and countless opportunities to pursue your passions, life at Edgewood Summit feels like a vacation you get to enjoy day after day.

Enriching Social Opportunities
