Why Moving to a Life Plan Community Earlier is a Good Decision
If you’re considering a Life Plan Community like Carroll Lutheran Village in Westminster, MD, entering at a younger, more active age—typically in your 60s or early 70s—lets you experience the following seven dimensions of wellness more fully.
Physical Wellness: A Foundation for Active Living
Maintaining your physical health as you age is important. It’s a chance to connect with others and have some fun together. When you move to a Life Plan Community earlier, you’re setting yourself up with everything you need to help keep your body strong and functioning well.
At CLV, there are many ways you can stay active. Stroll any of the well-maintained walking paths on our scenic 100-acre campus. Swim laps or enjoy aqua aerobics in our indoor pool. Take an exercise class or work out on our customized equipment. Squeeze in a pickleball game or a bike ride with friends.
Another key part of physical wellness is diet. A healthy diet can help you maintain your energy level, cognitive function and physical strength and of course, sitting down for a meal with friends has its own rewards.
At CLV, our residents have plenty of delicious dining options, including Zest, our farm-to-table restaurant that serves a variety of chef-designed dishes featuring fresh, local ingredients.
Emotional Wellness: Maintaining a Positive Attitude
Moving to a new place is an exciting experience, and when you make your move while you’re healthy and feeling good, you’ll enjoy launching your next chapter that much more.
Once you arrive in a Life Plan Community like ours, your peace of mind truly blossoms. Gone are everyday worries such as home maintenance, lawn mowing and shoveling snow. Your days can be filled with making new friends, pursuing interests and maintaining a positive attitude.
Intellectual Wellness: Keeping Your Mind Sharp and Curious
You know what happens when you surround yourself with interesting, fun-loving people who are still curious about life? You become more interesting, fun-loving and curious yourself. At CLV, we welcome people from all walks of life, and make sure everyone feels supported and appreciated.
Your intellectual wellness also gets a massive boost from our lifelong learning classes, which we offer in the spring, fall and winter.
Spiritual Wellness: Finding Purpose and Meaning
When you’re not spending your weekends on home maintenance and yard work, you have time for reflection, meditation or whatever gives you comfort.
CLV is an inclusive community, embracing people from all faiths. We celebrate diversity by creating a sense of fellowship and belonging. All are welcome here. We understand that everyone is on their own journey, and there’s a beauty in discovering life’s deeper meanings together.
Vocational Wellness: Continuing to Find Fulfillment
You’ve spent decades learning life lessons, and now’s your chance to channel all that experience into something personally fulfilling.
Our residents flock to our art and pottery studios, woodshop and other spaces to pursue passions they never had time for during their working years. Our community becomes the perfect backdrop for this next chapter of purposeful living.
Social Wellness: A Highly Meaningful Benefit of a Life Plan Community
Studies show socialization to be especially important for older adults’ health and well-being. It can even improve cognitive performance.
When you move to CLV, you’ll develop friendships with people who share your interests, values and sense of humor. Relationships develop naturally through shared meals, activities, special events and daily life at gathering spaces like The Pub, Windsor Terrace Club Room, Café Press and more.
Environmental Wellness: A Culture of Caring
Environmental wellness is the practice of living in harmony with our surroundings. That includes our planet, community and neighbors. We demonstrate our care by making choices that protect and enhance them all.
At CLV, we’re equally blessed by the beauty of nature and the kindness of the people who fill our daily lives. We have a responsibility to be mindful of our impact on natural resources, keep our wooded campus pristine and knock on a neighbor’s door just to make sure they’re feeling okay.
