Moving to an active senior living community gives you more time for the things you love and far fewer things to worry about.

Keep reading to discover how modern retirement communities like The Cedars can help you stay active and independent.
Keeping Your Body Strong
A regular exercise routine is good for your whole body, lifting your mood as well as strengthening your muscles. The CDC recommends that adults 65 and older get about 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, including two days of strength training. Routine exercise also lowers the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
The Cedars makes it easy to stay on track with your fitness goals by putting wellness amenities at your fingertips. Residents can work out in our fitness center, join a water aerobics class in the heated saltwater pool, train with a personal instructor, and much more!
Easy Social Wellness
Spending time with loved ones and friends can lift your mood, ease loneliness, and support your overall health. A report by the U.S. Surgeon General found that loneliness can lead to higher rates of heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Active senior living communities make regular connection easy with clubs, events, and welcoming communal spaces.
At The Cedars, that might mean lunch with neighbors in the dining room, a cocktail hour with friends, or an afternoon of live entertainment. With a full calendar of lifestyle activities and cultural outings to the surrounding Tulsa area, it’s easy to spend time with friends and make new ones!
Daily Lifelong Learning
Keeping your mind engaged supports cognitive health, and retirement is the perfect time to return to a hobby or try something new. In one study by the University of Texas at Dallas, researchers found that learning a new skill provides lasting improvements in memory in older adults. Book clubs, art classes, and discussion groups are all popular lifelong learning options for seniors. At The Cedars, residents can browse the library, explore a crafting project, or build something in the woodworking shed. Tulsa also has plenty of opportunities to learn and explore, from the Philbrook Museum of Art to the Woody Guthrie Center.
More Time For What You Want
Moving to a senior living community means enjoying a worry-free retirement where your days are your own. The Cedars provides weekly housekeeping, three chef-prepared meals a day, and transportation within 10 miles, all included in one monthly rate. Instead of mowing the lawn or planning dinner, you can spend that time on your interests and hobbies.
