Residents jump right into an active life at Gates Circle
As folks move into their beautiful apartment homes at Canterbury Woods Gates Circle, it’s exciting to witness the birth of a community! The residents and staff members are shaping the character of this brand new retirement community. “It’s a very modern, active group of people,” says Karen Sirgey, program coordinator for the community. “I expect this to be a very dynamic place.” Sirgey hit the ground running last month so that, as soon as residents were settled, they’d have a full menu of fun from which to choose. Fitness activities are scheduled daily. Easels have been set up in the art studio. Movies are being screened in the Great Room, and guest speakers are sharing their expertise.
Downsizing clears the way for an exciting retirement life
When you’re getting ready to leave for a trip, one of the big decisions is what to pack—what to take and what to leave behind. The people who will be moving into the elegant apartment homes at Canterbury Woods Gates Circle will need to make similar decisions, on a much larger scale. The spacious, beautiful apartments at this state-of-the-art retirement community range from 800 to 2,000 square feet and will have plenty of room for your most treasured possessions. But if you’re moving from a much larger home you’ve lived in for years, you’re likely going to want to edit your possessions and ask, is this the right size for my new home?
Work longer, live longer? New study says yes
Adults these days are living longer and healthier lives, and by the time they reach 65, they’re just not ready to retire. Some people keep on working for financial reasons, but others are delaying retirement because they like working. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 30 percent of people 65 to 69 were still working in 2010. That same year, people 65 and older comprised 16 percent of the workforce. Those numbers are expected to grow in the coming years.

The pace is leisurely enough that folks of all ages and skill levels can participate.
