We all want to live a healthy and happy life. But how does one do so? Especially as we age? Staying physically active and having meaningful social connections are certainly two key areas that contribute to a healthy and happy life. As we age, it becomes even more vital to maintain an active lifestyle and connect with others. What better way to achieve this than by moving to an active senior living community like Clark where the spaces, activities, and the entire community are designed around an active senior lifestyle?
The benefits of staying physically active as you age abound. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, staying physically active offers a plethora of health benefits including lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. Maintaining an active lifestyle can also improve mood and improve the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Keeping active also improves strength and balance which can prevent injury and allow for an independent living lifestyle.
While physical activity is important to our health and well-being, so too is social connection. Research shows that social isolation can have a significant impact on the health of older adults. Social isolation has been linked to higher blood pressure, susceptibility to the flu and other infectious diseases, and early onset of dementia. Belonging to a community is vital to health throughout our lifespan and the impact is measurable. People with meaningful social connections live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Being part of an active community is not just something nice to have—it’s a critical part of our health and well-being.

Having a community and living spaces designed for active seniors is an important perk of a senior living community. Walking paths, parking and gathering areas are all planned with the unique needs of seniors in mind. Creating innovative spaces like our Wellness Center which offers fitness equipment and classes for seniors and our Piazza at Keller Lake which allows our residents to socialize over coffee or a cocktail. Making sure residents can quickly and easily access these spaces from their homes is another consideration that was intentionally designed. Even the spaces within our apartments, towne homes and suites are also designed around older adults’ current and future needs.
One of the most powerful benefits of Clark’s active senior community is it is a Life Plan Community. Life Plan Communities are retirement communities with an important added benefit: a continuum of care, which ensures that you can “age in place,” having planned ahead in terms of access to additional services and the cost of long-term care. As a Clark resident, you will always have a home in our community, even if your financial resources are depleted through longevity or illness. Think of it as having peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Our newest community at Keller Lake features luxury, independent-living apartment homes for active adults 62+. The contemporary apartment homes offer spacious one-bedroom and two-bedroom options. Keller Lake’s town-square model is bustling with activity as residents enjoy outdoor gatherings at the Piazza, contemporary and fine dining, a fully equipped wellness center, walking trails and more!
