Arriving at a Kamloops retirement community for the first time might all of a sudden feel like it’s the first day of school. Where do I go? Who should I make friends with? These could be some questions that are already swimming in your head. Luckily for you, The Residence eliminates all the uncertainty and ensures you feel comfortable from the second you step foot on the property. With a handful of one bedroom suites currently available, you can bring a best friend with you. Plus, who doesn’t want to spend more time with their best friend?

Here are some reasons why you should move into a Kamloops retirement community with your best friend:

Companionship

Since we are all wired to be social human beings, it’s a given that we all love company (from time to time). In order to avoid feelings of social isolation and loneliness, which all come naturally as we age, the more you communicate with those around you – the better it is long term due to the feeling of companionship at this new stage of your life. Your best friend already knows you well enough, so why not ask them to move into a Kamloops retirement community with you? Just imagine how you can always have someone around to talk and bond with while doing even the most mundane tasks.

Safety and support

While living at The Residence, you are already guaranteed to feel safe and supported at all times in the Kamloops retirement community, having your best friend be your suite neighbour adds another layer of security. There is already 24 hour staffing available at The Residence, but there is nothing like having a companion living right beside you, that can immediately spring into action in case of any emergencies such as injuries or if you need medical attention. They are also there to help support you in case there is something bothering you that you don’t feel comfortable discussing with others just yet.

Shared experiences

Moving in with your best friend at a Kamloops retirement community means that you get the opportunity to create even more beautiful memories together. There’s always so much to do at The Residence, with its exceptional 5 star on-site amenities which can be explored over a span of multiple days. There are also daily recreational activities organized by the recreation team every month. You can attend these at their designated time and location with your best friend and expect to share some laughs as you try your hand at games and activities you may or may not have experience in.
