Moving to an independent living community is a big step. Some people may feel shame or sadness about moving into one or feel that making this change means losing their independence.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth! An independent living community isn’t like a standard retirement center. It is what you make it. And with the right attitude, independent living can be as empowering and liberating as living in your own home.
Here at Saint Ann Retirement Center, we’ll break down how to make the most of your independent living community and highlight all the things that make it great.
As always, if you have any questions or are interested in visiting our beautiful residence, don’t hesitate to give us a call or visit the rest of our website.

To Make the Most of Your Experience, Make the Most of Your Investment!
Independent living is a sizable investment. You pay for many amenities, services, and social activities.
Make sure you get the most out of whatever you’re paying for. Take that weightlifting class. Attend weekend social opportunities. Eat your meals in the dining hall. You’ll pay for these services and amenities whether you use them or not, so you might as well use them!
Doing so will help you make the most of your independent living experience.
Live Somewhere with Plenty of Activities
Where’s the fun in living somewhere with no activities? Activities are one of the best benefits of independent living and a big part of why people move into an independent living community. Living on your own can be lonely. It’s fun to live independently with other people. But you have to have things to do!
Luckily for you, Saint Ann offers a wide array of activities! We offer activities such as cornhole, aerobics, arts and crafts, weight training and stretching sessions, game nights, movie nights, religious services, and more!
We also have spaces for activities, like a chapel, movie theater, game room, and fitness center for fitness classes!
There’s no shortage of things to do with your friends at Saint Ann.

You deserve a place that goes above and beyond for you! The more you can get out of your independent living arrangements, the better!
Saint Ann has a beauty parlor, barber shop, and nail salon! Almost any other retirement community doesn’t hold up against Saint Ann. We also have a beautiful chapel with our pastor. Services are held daily for folks of all faiths.
Saint Ann takes amenities and activities to the next level for our independent living residents. You deserve it!
Food!
Food is the most underrated part of a senior living community experience.
Most of your meals will come from your residence’s kitchen, so you better like the food. You’ll be able to cook your own food. But wouldn’t you prefer to cook for yourself when you want, and not out of necessity because you hate the food?
Have a meal when you visit Saint Ann, and you’ll quickly fall in love with our food.
Meals at Saint Ann are delicious and made fresh daily. Our friendly chefs can accommodate different dietary restrictions or preferences.
Look for Services that Make Your Life Easier
You’re retired, after all! Saint Ann offers transportation services and has a personal driver you can schedule in advance. Want to make a trip to a grocery store? Want to visit a friend or family member for lunch? Our driver has you covered. And should you need a bus, van, or SUV for a specific outing, we can take care of that, too!
