Housing alternatives for older adults

Discover with us some of the most popular ones and how they can be enjoyed from the age of 50 onward.

First, let's blur the term seniors a little and replace it with independent adults, which broadens the group of people who can be part of this community, and we'll describe them in more detail.

Traditionally, the term housing for people in the so-called 'third age' has been applied to homes where people can spend their old age without interrupting or affecting the lives of younger relatives, such as children and grandchildren. It is also usually synonymous with places with medical support, somewhat boring, but that look after the health of those enjoying old age.

However, this concept has been shifting toward that of 'independent adults', which includes active people over 50, that is, people who don't depend on their relatives to keep enjoying life and who love living in community.

• Have lived it all and are ready to live more.

• Love traveling and are full of incredible stories to tell.

• Enjoy their space and don't mind living alone, but are always open to meeting new people.

• Enjoy new experiences.

What is a Senior's Club?

These are residential units designed for active adults who are open to new experiences. This type of housing offers restaurant services, a gym, and leisure and recreational activities.

Designed to provide everything needed to live the best years of life, Senior's Club El Vergel consists of residential units with built areas from 39 m² to 89 m². The project is part of the Senior's Clubchain, which specializes in offering older adults incredible benefits.

Each unit has one bedroom, one bathroom and its own parking space. In addition, owners can enjoy the project's spaces, such as:

Besides all the services and recreational spaces, another advantage is that you can buy or rent a unit, so accessing its services and personalized attention is very easy.

A good alternative for adults who live alone and want to enjoy shared services designed for their needs. The idea was born in the 1960s with a group of young Danes, and the concept is now found throughout Europe and the United States.

In this arrangement each person pays a monthly fee, which isn't rent but a contribution to shared expenses such as food and cleaning. It's about living in community, and the monthly amount depends on the services they choose to pay for, so it can be expensive. 

Although some older adults are interested in living in community, others enjoy traveling the world, whether alone or with company.

These adults get discounts on some airlines and stay at resorts that offer all kinds of services to meet their needs, such as medical support and laundry.

They are usually people who spent much of their lives working and, in a new stage of life, decide it's time to enjoy the fruits of their discipline.

This third group of older adults shows that the best years of their lives are those in which they can freely enjoy every experience, and that being a senior doesn't mean they have to spend their time playing dominoes with friends.

It's never too early to think about your future, and if you keep working hard you'll most likely be able to offer yourself, or your parents, the chance to enjoy services like those at Senior's Club El Vergel, while taking a vacation or two a year.
