Whether you’re retired or approaching retirement, it makes sense to think about how you can live life to the fullest. For many, part of this process includes exploring senior living communities or other options such as concierge home care.
Starting this exploration early can help ensure you find a senior living option that combines your ideal lifestyle with secure coverage for any future health conditions. Quality care throughout retirement helps ensure independence at every age.
Your happiness, along with that of your loved ones, should be your top priority when settling into the next phase of life.
There are several factors to consider when determining where you would like to spend retirement. Below are four important considerations for choosing a senior living community.
Location of your senior living community
Whether you’ve spent your whole life in one city or have moved recently to a new area, where you choose to spend retirement affects your quality of life.
Consider the necessities, amenities and entertainment options near each senior living community. Would it be easy for you to explore them alone or with loved ones?
You’ll find a wealth of restaurants, shopping and other amenities close to Friendship Village of Dublin. Next to the historic, upscale community of Dublin, Ohio, our 29-acre campus is just minutes from the new Bridge Park neighborhood and a few miles from the world-renowned Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Downsizing
from your longtime home to a smaller space can be a challenge, especially when you’ve collected a lifetime of memories.
However, the maintenance-free lifestyle of a senior living community allows you to pare down your life—and belongings—to the things you really love. You no longer need a garage full of lawn care and snow removal tools. And, you can hang up your pots and pans for good if you choose to take advantage of chef-prepared meals.
As you visit different communities, decide what will accompany you when you move. Consider the space you’ll need and types of gatherings you plan to host in your new home.
At Friendship Village of Dublin, you can choose from over 30 distinctive floor plans in our apartment homes, villas and flats. All come with expansive closet space for organizing your belongings.
And, you’ll find just about everything you could want or need outside your door, such as:
- Expansive gardens and walking trails on our 29-acre campus
- Four dining venues serving chef-prepared meals
- A large indoor swimming pool and two fitness centers with group classes and personal training available
- On-site hair, beauty and massage services at our Springwater Spa
- An abundant array of clubs, parties and scheduled activities for active seniors.
- Central Ohio’s only on-site medical practice, operated by Central Ohio Primary Care, so you don’t even need to leave campus to visit your doctor.
Many of our residents spend more time out in the community than in their apartments!
