Independent Living Mississauga

Your guide to independent senior living in Mississauga

Retirement homes excel at creating a lifestyle that will surprise you with how much fun and freedom you can have. Every day is a good day in independent living. Below the list of some of the city's finest retirement homes, find out more about why it's worth it to move.

Why move to a retirement home?

Here’s a quick glance at what makes independent living in a Mississauga retirement home so great:

Social life around the clock. You don’t have to socialize all day long in a retirement home … but you could! People are available just outside the door or around any corner. Over time you’ll make a crowd of friends, if you want to. There are activities scheduled every day, and you can pick and choose what you want to take part in. You can be as social as you want to be, and many people find that their circle of friends and their social life is more expansive than at any other time in their lives. If you love people, you’ll love living in a Hamilton independent living senior’s home.

Expand your interests. The activities in a retirement home are tailored to people your age, and you’ll find yourself doing things with other people that you’ve simply never had the opportunity to do before. You might find yourself loving shuffleboard. You’ll have companions at your side as you take outings to everything from nearby art galleries to casinos, and more. 

But more than that, you’ll have time and resources to indulge in things you have let go. Some people take up painting. Others join the poetry club. No matter what, when you set aside housework and cooking and that other nonsense, you’ll rediscover things about yourself.

That’s really just the tip of the iceberg. Read more about what's so great (a lot!) about independent living retirement homes.
