Decide if Entertaining is a Priority

Moving into a retirement community should not limit your social activities—in fact, you might find independent living will enhance your social life. When selecting a floor plan at Chateau Cupertino, take into consideration how you’ll use your apartment for entertainment. If you’ll be having guests over frequently, you may prefer an apartment with a private bedroom, as well as a living room for social gatherings. Will you have guests overnight? Perhaps children or grandchildren may come to stay with you. If so, a second bedroom may be important to accommodate guests.

Consider Your Accessibility Needs

Do you have any special accessibility concerns? Evaluate each floor plan and consider which option will best match your needs for moving about the apartment. Our alcove bedroom option offers an open floor plan with fewer doorways, providing you with easier access.

Accommodate Your Hobbies or Special Interests

Another factor to consider is any hobby or special interest that may require additional space. Do you like to build models, sew, or have a quiet place to read? Should you have need for additional space, one of our apartment floor plans with a second bedroom may meet your needs perfectly.

Find Space for Your Treasured Furniture

You may have special furniture pieces that you’ll be moving into your new senior apartment, and it’s important to consider these items when selecting a floor plan. Whether you have a special reading chair, a favorite dining room table, or canopy bed, be sure to evaluate each of our floor plans to determine which one will accommodate your possessions.

Keep Track of Your Medications with this iPad App

Remembering to take medications is essential to your health, but having multiple prescriptions that require varying dosages can make keeping track of your medications confusing.

Instead of struggling to remember what medications you should take at certain times, try the Pill Tracker PRO app. This app sets reminders to help you know when you should take a particular medication, and in what dosage. Regardless of how often you take a medication or how many medications you take, this app will be able to track the necessary information.

Signs that it's Time to Consider a Retirement Community

• You no longer have the energy or desire to perform household chores. It can be difficult to keep up with household cleaning and other chores as you get older. Hiring a house-cleaning team can be expensive and inconvenient, leaving many seniors unsure of how to handle this situation. Retirement communities provide a number of great amenities, including housekeeping and laundry services. At Chateau Cupertino, we work hard to provide a clean and attractive environment for all of our residents.

• You don’t eat as well or as often as you should. Many senior citizens find that they no longer feel hungry as often as they used to during the day. This lack of hunger can result in improper nutrition and have a negative effect on health. Here at Chateau Cupertino, we provide our residents with two delicious home-style meals every day. This makes it easier for our residents to get proper senior nutrition without having to prepare all three meals for themselves each day.

• You would like assistance with transportation. Do you find yourself staying at home more often because of transportation concerns? If so, you may find the right solution by moving to a retirement community. Residents of Chateau Cupertino can take advantage of transportation services that make it easier to maintain an independent lifestyle.

• You want to live in a great community. Moving to a retirement community can be a great way to make new friends. Chateau Cupertino offers a number of programs and special events that make it easy for residents to socialize and have fun.
