Home instead a happy and healthy retirement

Psychologically, the idea of retirement can take some getting used to. Yesterday you had a job that gave a defined role and the status, today it has all changed. Nevertheless, you are the same person, with the same talents that you had before. So the first thing to realise is that while your place in the world changes, there is a future full of opportunities.

People’s experience of retirement varies enormously. The one thing that is certain is that people who plan for their retirement find the experience more fulfilling, less daunting and full of opportunities.

People live longer today. This is the first generation of retirees that on average may enjoy as many years in retirement as in an average working life.
Home Instead Say: Keep Mind, Body and Social Life Active.
You should not underestimate the benefit that keeping active brings to health and wellbeing as you age. Keeping your mind, body and social life active can significantly improve physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing.

The key to enjoying your senior years is to figure out simple activities that you find enjoyable, and then do exactly that: enjoy them! If you are suffering from osteoporosis or arthritis, it is important that you continue to look after your health and fitness and take advantage of the supports available to you.
