Multiple studies show that our senior years may be our happiest. Surprised? Consider this: after the struggles of youth and the stresses of middle age, many find that the Golden Years bring new interests, stronger relationships, more security, a better sense of perspective, and the freedom to pursue one’s passions. Happiness, it seems, is generally graphed as a U-curve across our lives. For those on the downward slope, don’t fret: starting at age 50, happiness levels tend to climb significantly with each passing decade.
How, then, should we plan to enjoy these senior years? LS3P’s Wilmington office has some ideas. A design team led by Chris Boney recently completed the first phases of Carolina Bay, a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in the thriving Autumn Hall mixed-use development. The developer, Liberty Healthcare, hired LS3P as Architect of Record and Brown Craig Turner Architects for the master planning and design of this multi-phase development at the forefront of senior living trends.
