Active Adults Celebrate Change of Seasons

With fall FINALLY making its appearance, it’s time to celebrate by taking advantage of some fall season rituals that offer warmth inside and out:

Reminders for Active Adults as Caregivers

Prepare for your priorities to shift as you either juggle the management of two households—even if  you only live at one of them—or make new living arrangements for your parent(s).

Active Adults Seek Quality and Comfort At Home

Think back a moment to the home of your childhood. Whether you lived in a single-family home, a “tract home” in a planned development, an apartment building, or something else, it’s likely that your experiences in that home helped to shape the concept of “home” for you throughout your lifetime.

Health Awareness Important Among Active Adults

Visiting the doctor is the method most adults use to learn about health issues and how to treat them. Many times, however, preventing a health situation, or catching it early, hinges on awareness about risk, early symptoms, and more.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a host of organizations urging women – and men – to learn about the symptoms of breast cancer, detection methods, and risk factors that a person can control through personal habits.

That may be true, but the opportunities to enjoy the season include a variety of festivals and other events that are close to home, including the Georgia Apple Festival, just a short drive from Windsong communities.

Active Adults Benefit From a “Gap Year”

Over the past decade, as Baby Boomers have reached traditional retirement age, many have decided to go back to work, start a business, earn another degree, or learn a new skill entirely. Sometimes they return to work for financial reasons, but studies reveal that a lot of Boomers experience a loss of identity when they leave the workplace.

And what does one do with all of that free time?

Active Adults Are Like Saturdays in the South

Fall begins with Labor Day weekend, and that is especially true in the South, where college football is the official symbol of the change of seasons.

Active Adult Home

(A poem, inspired by 'Take Me Home Country Roads," by John Denver)

Almost heaven, north of Atlanta

Blue Ridge Mountains, Chattahoochee River

It's my dream home, so peaceful to me

Luxury active living, here Where Life's A Breeze

Boomers “Cut Loose” for Ride Like the Wind Day

It’s been said that every day holds a reason to celebrate, which is especially true for Baby Boomers who either have already retired and moved into their dream home, or who have both their dream home and their retirement in their sights.

At Windsong, we’re especially fond of “Ride Like the Wind Day,” which is celebrated each August 23. We figure it’s a holiday created for folks like us and our family of homeowners, for whom Life’s A Breeze…
