The Benefits of No Maintenance Living: More Time for What You Love
Home ownership is still upheld as the cornerstone of adulthood in our society. But many seniors who are in or approaching retirement feel home ownership loses its luster.
From insurance and mortgage payments to household chores and upkeep; life at home is a lot to maintain. Many seniors opt for independent living to achieve their retirement lifestyle goals. You may wonder how a no maintenance independent living lifestyle can benefit you.
Learn the top reasons seniors choose independent living over aging in place at home to access the retirement they desire.
From home maintenance to no maintenance
Murphy’s Law reminds us that “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” Homeowners know firsthand this means repairs pop up at least optimal time.
When you’re on a fixed income, unexpected maintenance costs can throw a monkey wrench into your monthly budget.
Suddenly, the funds you’d set aside for that weekend trip to the lake must go to purchase a new water heater or repair a leaky roof.
Independent living frees active adults from these unexpected surprises and sudden financial headaches. Many seniors are drawn to independent living’s no maintenance lifestyle. Community and grounds upkeep are included in monthly rates and performed by professionals.
A no maintenance lifestyle frees up the time, funds and energy you were devoting to your home, and allows you to redirect them as you like. It may be the perfect way to enjoy retirement on your terms.

The value of independent living
Many seniors find the value of independent living far exceeds its costs. Consider everything you pay for out of pocket each month at home that’s included in an independent living lifestyle.
Say goodbye to yardwork costs, home upkeep and housekeeping, not to mention pricey extracurriculars that cut into your monthly budget.
Independent living also provides a wealth of included activities, amenities, programs and events to enjoy. LSS Kensington Place Senior Living community in Columbus, Ohio offers independent living residents access to a host of services and amenities to add value, fulfillment and joy to life.

Freedom for active adult pursuits
Time is our most valuable, non-renewable resource. Active adults who opt to remain at home often find free time taken up by all the things they must do, rather than the things they want to do. Independent living can help you reclaim the energy to savor your retirement life.
- Picture what you’d add to your days if you had the extra time…
- Would you dive back into fulfilling, creative hobbies like knitting, painting, making music or crafts?
- Maybe you’d rediscover fun activities like golf, fishing, pickleball, dance or jogging…
- You could enjoy more self-care time to feel your best, curl up with a great book or nurture your soul with more time in nature…
- And you’d finally have time to reconnect with friends, meet up for lunch and take that day trip you’ve been dreaming of…
