Retirement Has Changed: Siena Lakes Residents Find New Purpose at Every Age

As September's Healthy Aging Month shines a spotlight on wellness later in life, residents at Siena Lakes, an Erickson Senior Living community in Naples, Fla., are a local example of a national shift in how older adults are approaching aging. Through fitness, lifelong learning, volunteerism, social connections, and a continued sense of purpose, they're showing that growing older doesn't have to mean slowing down.

Residents are staying active, trying new things, building meaningful friendships, and living full, engaged lives well into their 70s, 80s, and beyond. From fitness classes and lifelong learning opportunities to volunteer work and active social calendars, they're redefining what it means to age well and challenging outdated stereotypes along the way.

As perceptions of retirement continue to evolve, Siena Lakes residents are helping redefine what it means to live well at every age.
