Below, we’ve put together some ways that living in an active retirement community like OceanView at Falmouth helps you stay stress-free!

Meet New People

Socialization and making new friends is one of the best benefits of making the switch to a retirement community. You can find people who enjoy all kinds of hobbies, from art to education to physical activity, and there is always something exciting on the calendar to look forward to. Some great opportunities to meet new people include:

Outdoor Trails – OceanView offers several wooded trails throughout the property and is conveniently located near various outdoor parks and land preserves, so whether you’re looking to hike, cross-country ski or simply take a walk, you have plenty to choose from.

Golfing – Being able to enjoy a leisurely round of golf whenever you want is one of life’s true rewards. OceanView offers an unique Golf FORE Life program, offering residents complimentary access to three different golf courses in the area.

Movie Screenings – OceanView shows movies every Tuesday and Thursday in our Screening Room, with titles selected based on ratings, the latest releases, and resident requests. There are even drinks and popcorn! Enjoy all the perks of going to the movies without ever having to leave campus.

Fitness Classes & Swimming – We offer various fitness classes each week, led by our full-time Fitness Staff, with access to our heated salt-water pool and spa. Come swim laps with a friend, take a class or try a fun activity like water volleyball!

Eliminate Home Maintenance Tasks

From exterior painting to landscaping, there is always something that needs to be done to a home. At OceanView, we take care of all that for you! This allows you to get valuable time back so you can stress less about home maintenance and focus on whatever it is that makes you happiest. Some of OceanView’s maintenance items include:

  • Full-time home interior and exterior maintenance, including emergency maintenance
  • Lawn and garden care
  • Landscaping
  • Snow removal
  • Housekeeping services

Enjoy Security and Safety

Your wellness and safety is a top priority for us at OceanView, which is why we take every step possible to ensure you feel secure. Our campus has alert systems in each building with a 24-hour emergency response to calls, including in cottages. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you can rest assured that help will be on the way in a matter of minutes.

We also understand that long-term health must be considered as we age, which is why we offer transitional support for each phase of life. Our Falmouth House Assisted Living or Legacy Memory Care residences are available to support you and offer you the best care possible.

Prioritize Nutrition

If you’re tired of meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking and washing dishes, we don’t blame you! It can be exhausting and one extra thing to worry about. Instead, enjoy a warm ambiance among friends in any of our dining establishments on campus!
