Enjoying Your Retirement
Most of us look forward to the day we can retire and spend our days pursuing favorite pastimes. While having the freedom to follow your dreams is nice, it isn’t always enough. Some seniors find themselves struggling to settle into a healthy, productive lifestyle.
Challenge yourself: It’s easy to get stuck in a routine after you retire. Avoid that trap by challenging yourself to learn new things.
Spend time with kids: Children have a way of boosting spirits.
If you don’t have grandchildren or yours live far away, consider volunteering for a local children’s organization.
Find a physician you trust: Having a trusted relationship with a primary care physician is important, you’ll be more likely to visit the doctor on a regular basis and stay on track with health screenings.
Create a bucket list: Do you have dreams of adventures you’ve always wanted to complete? That’s what is known as a bucket list. Take time to formally compose your list. Then make plans to pursue each item.
Connect with peers: Having friends your own age gives you a support network to turn to through the ups and downs of aging.
Find ways to give back: It may be fine to spend a few years living a carefree life, but you’ll likely come to a point where you want more meaningful activity. Many seniors find volunteer work fills this void.

Valentine’s Day- 14 February
Valentine's Day is all about love, but there's no rule that says it has to be all about romantic love! Valentine's day means celebrating love, adore and affection. It doesn't always have to be with your spouse or partner. It can be with anyone with whom we feel the kind of bond which is worth a celebration. Many people who celebrate the heart-shaped holiday do it with their friends, family or grandchildren.
Retirement at La Récolte
Understanding the different types of senior care can be a little confusing for families.
When a loved one needs help, it’s often hard to navigate your way through the maze of options available.
Therefore, I would like to tell you about our different retirement options at La Récolte.
Independent living- Block A, B and D (In Progress)
Meant for independent active seniors over 50 years old and offers a lock-up and go lifestyle unit. Each unit has medical panic buttons, 24- hour security with CCTV cameras and
access-controlled gate. Presenting the perfect blend of tranquil living, safety and convenience.
Assisted living, Frail Care and Independent Living - Block C
Why would there be 3 different Retirement options in one Block?
When you have a independent living unit in Block C and there is a change in health you have the option of changing your unit to Assisted living or Frail Care.
When there is a couple sharing a unit, and one spouse has health problems the required help can still be given without separating them.
Our assisted living and Frail care suites will offer residents exactly what they need, be it a nurse visiting daily just to make sure the residents have taken their medication, monitoring their health, or staff cleaning their suites and making their beds.
The main focus of La Récolte is to make the different stages of retirement as convenient as possible and always putting the needs of the residents first!
