Winter Village: Independent Living in the Heart of Frankenmuth, Michigan
With a population of just under 5,000, Frankenmuth, MI, might not be on many seniors' radars when it comes time for retirement. However, we at Winter Village want to change this fact.
Our senior community makes the most of the small-town vibes with big-city aspirations, and we're here to show you how. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of our Frankenmuth senior community and why it could be the answer to your dream retirement.
Supportive Services
When you look for independent living in Frankenmuth, we make sure to deliver. We focus on helping our residents live life to the fullest by providing support that doesn't steal away their autonomy.
We don't want our residents to feel like they lose control of their lives when they join our community. Instead, our staff is here as a support system. We work with you to come up with a care plan that keeps you safe and healthy but doesn't impede your sense of independence.
As your health changes, we'll adapt your care plan to suit those changes. If you feel like something isn't working for you, make sure to talk with the Winter Village staff. We're more than willing to adjust to make sure you're feeling comfortable and happy.
Active Aging Activities
No retirement community can be successful without a full and flexible activity calendar. In our community, each day is packed with things for residents to do, each with unique benefits that can aid in stress relief, improving balance, or even memory recall.
Physical
An active senior lifestyle needs to begin with plenty of physical activity. Without frequent movement, you'll find that your joints and muscles seize up at the wrong time. This can lead to unnecessary pain or balance issues that might lead to a dangerous fall.
At Winter Village, we'll help you maintain a good level of physical activity with exercise activities such as:
- Morning walks
- Balloon volleyball
- Low-impact cardio sessions
- Chair yoga
By participating in these activities, you'll improve your sense of independence and physical well-being. Even a little bit of activity goes a long way toward betterment!
Mental
Your mental well-being is as important, and we make sure to include mentally stimulating activities on our calendar, too. Sometimes the goal is stress relief, but other times we provide activities that can help with strengthening your mental capabilities, such as concentration or retention.
Mental activities you'll enjoy include:
- Quarter bingo
- Card games
- Tech tutorials
- Vacation tours
- Crafting projects
- Guided meditation
Social
Without social opportunities, it can be difficult to feel fulfilled during your retirement. We all need socialization from time to time. When a senior community doesn't create these opportunities for its residents, seniors tend to feel isolated, lonely, and even depressed.
Winter Village aims to include many social opportunities within our activity calendar, both on-site and in the local Frankenmuth area. Examples of social activities we host include:
- Watching movies
- Crafting
- Conversation socials with treats (such as coffee or ice cream)
- Share and tell sessions
- Religious and spiritual services
- Happy hour
We understand that some people find it intimidating to establish themselves in a new community. That's why we offer such a variety of social opportunities so you can forge bonds naturally during these engaging events.
Personalized Apartments
Nothing says home quite like an apartment that you can personalize and adjust to your liking. We offer a variety of senior housing options so you can find that perfect fit without needing to compromise.
Decide upon your favorite configuration of kitchenettes, spacious closets, living room areas, and comfortable bedrooms. Then, decorate and rearrange things to your heart's content. It'll feel like your new home in no time at all.
Lifelong Learning
It's a common misconception that learning is for children in school. We deny this idea and encourage all of our residents to continue with lifelong learning during their stay in our community.
This mentality can help with many aspects of your life, including:
- Achieving personal goals
- Self-confidence
- Memory
- Experiencing new cultures and ideas
We offer classes and access to learning materials to all of our residents. Whether you want to learn a new craft or a new language, there's a way to achieve your educational goals here at Winter Village.
Wellness Amenities
In our bid to be a gentle support system for residents, our staff can assist in helping residents with their overall wellness. This differs from one resident to another, and can always be adjusted to suit fluctuating health concerns.
For example, we can help with grooming for those times when the very idea of the task is too much. We can also help with general concierge-type tasks, like sending flowers or making Frankenmuth-based reservations.
The key is to keep our staff informed. The more they know about your needs, the better they can help you with your overall well-being and lifestyle.
Nutritional Dining
Are you eating the foods you need to stay energetic and healthy? Do your family and friends worry about you eating enough?
These concerns become more common as we age. We often don't have the energy needed to come up with exciting and nutritious meals three times a day. It's easier to take shortcuts or even to skip meals altogether.
The problem is when those choices have a detrimental effect on your health.
When you join our senior community, you'll no longer need to worry about coming up with meal plans when you don't want to. You'll have the kitchenette in your apartment, but you'll also have access to our chef-led dining room.
Tableside service makes it easy to pop in and have something delicious and nutritious to eat, without any of the worries.
