What's the difference between Independent Living and Active Adult Living? What can an active adult community provide to its residents – and what are the benefits? These are common questions that this week’s guest, Beth McGee, is here to answer.

Beth is a sales consultant for an age 55+ Active Adult Community called Overture Flower Mound. With a background in helping seniors move into new communities – handling packing, moving and getting settled – she draws from numerous experiences helping others make this life transition.

Episode takeaways:
- What active senior living means: It’s an age-qualified, active adult apartment community.- The monthly rate covers rent as well as onsite amenities, events and educational programs that members can use to their advantage.
- Active adult communities allow for socialization and getting to know others in the same season of life, all while nurturing everyone’s independence.
- Residents are able to pick up new hobbies and interests in a quiet, safe environment. Hired instructors come teach, or residents can also offer classes to share their own passions.
- This community isn’t only for retirees – many tenants still work or volunteer.
- Many residents move to these communities because their kids have grown, their spouse has passed, or they simply want to downsize from the hands-on jobs that come with owning a house and lawn.
- It’s also a great option for those wanting security if they travel.
- Rest assured: pets are allowed!

Topics covered:
- Active adult communities vs. other options for senior living
- Benefits of the 55+ community
- Finding purpose as a senior and how these communities can help
- Staying social and active
- How COVID-19 has affected senior living communities
-How to find a new routine in an Active 55+ Community
-Luxury Active 55+ Communities
