Sugar Hill Community Blog

If you’re planning to move to a senior community or smaller residence to cut down on maintenance costs, you will need to downsize. This means paring down the number of items you have in your home and in storage, whether that’s large furniture items or collectibles. 

Just because you’re retired doesn’t mean that stress goes away. In fact, retirement can bring with it its own set of stressors. 

Each year brings with it unique challenges, but none more so in recent memory than 2020. There’s always some uncertainty about the future, of course - few people expected a pandemic to dominate the 2020 news cycle. However, the pandemic did accelerate many changes in the senior living industry that were already in process, and will continue into next year. 

The twinkling lights decorating Sugar Hill Retirement Community reflect off the fallen snow. Inside, all is warm, bright and joyous. Christmas trees decorate almost every room, lights glimmer in the Sugarhouse dining room, and a miniature train surrounds the tree in the library.

How well are you coping with the stress of the pandemic on top of all of life's other stressors? If you’ve been struggling, you’re not alone! 

Coronavirus scams targeting seniors are on the rise. Online and telemarketing scams become more common during times of crisis and recession. 

Many residents at Sugar Hill enjoy all the benefits of senior co-op community living. But what is cooperative living, and how does it differ from other types of senior living arrangements, such as purchasing a townhome or renting an apartment? 

Senior living communities have been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Does this mean it’s no longer safe for you or a loved one to live in one of these communities? Is it safer to stay in your current home or with an in-home caregiver instead of making the move? 

Did you know that your environment plays a huge role in your mental and physical wellbeing? Most of us have experienced environmental stress at one time or another in our lives.  

Life at Sugar Hill is still as rewarding and enriching as ever, despite the circulation of COVID-19 in our state. We understand that these can be stressful times, but the residents and staff here at Sugar Hill continue to work together and make the best of things.
