Independent Living activities: Hobbies and interests for a fulfilling lifestyle

Hobbies for seniors to love in Independent Living

As people enter retirement, many may find themselves wondering, “Now what?”. After several decades in the workforce, some find it hard to transition out of the daily grind. The fellowship and amenities offered by life in an Independent Living community can help fill the hours of the day. These communities cater to senior hobbies and offer a fulfilling option for retirement. At FellowshipLIFE communities, you can make new friends while enjoying new or well-loved pastimes, all while improving your health. 

Hobbies improve your health

While some extreme hobbies, such as skydiving or bungee jumping, can be risky endeavors, most hobbies you can enjoy in an Independent Living setting actually promote health. Recent research has shown that hobbies such as volunteering, arts and crafts, gardening, or games have a positive impact on physical and mental well–being. Senior activities that involve more than one person are also valuable in reducing the risk of senior isolation and loneliness. 

Best retirement hobbies

Independent Living at FellowshipLIFE communities offer a wide range of hobbies for the elderly. They offer activities for those who are still able bodied and full of energy. And the options might just surprise you. 

Outdoor fun

When the weather’s nice, there’s plenty to do on any of FellowshipLIFE’s campuses. Join a walking or jogging club and make use of the walking trails or pedestrian friendly communities. Work on your short game at the putting green or organize or spend some time with your furry friend or hone your aim on the shuffleboard court. 

Indoor relaxation

FellowshipLIFE’s communities also offer plenty of indoor hobby opportunities. Let your artistic side flourish in the woodshop or the professional art studio. Join a book club to enjoy new finds and old favorites with your peers.
