Newly Revamped Agenda Offers Senior Citizens the Retirement Cruise of their Lives Without Having to Set Sail

November 10, 2008

The recently bolstered activity schedule at the Chateau Senior Living Community proves that life’s Golden Years really do happen in retirement.  With new activities like art, dance and tai chi classes, retirees can experience life aboard an exciting and luxurious cruise ship, and all while on land.

(PRWEB) November 10, 2008 – Designed to give seniors the ultimate luxury retirement experience, Chateau Senior Community has added an array of new classes and activities to its active cruise boat-like events lineup.  The unique retirement community prides itself in offering an opulent, entertaining atmosphere as found onboard Royal Caribbean Cruise line ships, but tailored specifically for retired seniors.

In the midst of their gourmet food menus, fun activities, spa services, shows and cocktail hours, the Chateau Senior Community found a way to give their residents even more to celebrate.  Original and new events, meant to inspire exuberance, have been introduced to an already diverse regiment.  Senior tai chi classes, chair dancing, live theater (music and dance troops), art classes, cruises on the San Francisco Bay, senior dances, monthly gourmet fine dining brunches, a New Life Senior Forum, and much more are now available to community residents.   Seniors can even take part in new Conductorcise classes, where members get to exercise while simulating conducting a large symphony orchestra. 

Assisted living for seniors doesn’t have to be monotonous or dull; in addition to the new listing of activity options, each of the Chateau Senior Living Communities, the managers individually teach a special interest class every week in order to bond with residents on a deeper, more personal level.  Seniors are welcome to join their friends and peers in scrapbooking class, news and politics forums, old stories group, The Sunshine Gang which visits residents in the hospital, the Good Cooks network, hymn sing, Bible study, computer skills, balance and fitness class.

Created more than 20 years ago by owner Tom MacDonald, the unique Pleasant Hills, California-based Chateau Senior Community was born out of a desire to make the “sunset years” of our lives memorable and fun. 

“I was looking at possible retirement solutions for my mother,” MacDonald says. “Developing a cruise boat-like experience on land was my goal, but what was more important was pairing the fun of cruise boat living with reliable senior care services that my mother and other aging adults would need.”

The result became today’s fun-filled and trustworthy Chateau Senior Community, a place that MacDonald is confident when he leaves for the night, his residents are well taken care of.  “Not just three meals a day,” he says, “but housekeeping, laundry, doctor, shuttles, and even medication management if needed.”

With all the new and exciting courses and activities onboard at the Chateau Senior Community, it’s no wonder some residents have chosen to stay for more than 19 years. “If there’s a time to get pampered, it is when you’ve become a senior,” MacDonald says. “When you’re done working hard and raising a family and are finally ready to take care of yourself, we are here for you.”
