Resort Lifestyle Communities: Not Your Average Retirement Community

Shell Harbor 2025 A Place for Mom Award Winner

As seniors transition into retirement, their daily lives often change in subtle yet significant ways. With fewer opportunities for social interaction, feelings of loneliness can take hold, making emotional connections harder to maintain. Physical health also requires more attention, as maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and managing overall well-being becomes increasingly challenging. Meanwhile, the demands of homeownership-whether it's maintaining the house, paying bills, or handling repairs-can become burdensome. Amid all these challenges, the process of choosing the right senior living option, and navigating numerous choices, costs, and services­ adds another layer of uncertainty. These difficulties often leave seniors and their families searching for a solution that offers clarity, comfort, and peace of mind.

This is where Resort Lifestyle Communities (RLC) steps in. RLC creates luxurious, all-inclusive, resort-style communities that offer worry-free retirement living. The company provides live-in managers, 24/7  emergency alerts,  gourmet dining, and full-service amenities while prioritizing residents' comfort and safety. Individuality is celebrated, with personalized experiences tailored to meet diverse needs. Residents from all backgrounds are welcomed and honored in a caring and inclusive environment.

"The main advantage for our residents is the lifestyle we offer. Our amenities and services take care of their everyday needs, giving them the time and freedom to pursue their own passions and interests," says Arlin Halstead, CEO of Resort Lifestyle Communities.

At RLC, every day feels like a celebration place where meals are a culinary adventure, activities spark excitement, and every detail is thoughtfully designed to help residents thrive. This is the life one would wish for their loved ones: a blend of independence, luxury, and connection that redefines senior living. It's about freedom- the freedom to live without the burdens of daily chores, home maintenance, or constant worries.

This sense of ease begins with the company's live-in management team. Managers not only oversee operations but become part of the community family. Knowing that help is always available creates an environment where residents and their families can truly relax.

Dining is a standout at RLC, thanks to the Signature Freedom Dining Program, which turns every meal into a delightful experience. Residents enjoy three chef-prepared meals daily, featuring a vibrant salad bar and indulgent soups, with every bite crafted with care. A 24/7 chef's pantry provides delicious snacks between meals, and the renowned Prime Rib Sunday Brunch is a weekly favorite. With flexible dining hours and a variety of options, every detail is thoughtfully designed to accommodate individual tastes and schedules.

Each RLC property serves as a vibrant hub, offering essential services such as a pharmacy, salon, and general store, along with entertainment options like a movie theater and fitness center. Residents enjoy activities planned by a full-time Lifestyle Director, including yoga classes, shopping trips, and lively happy hours. Every day brings something new to look forward to.

For those with a love of travel, RLC offers a program that's nothing short of an adventure. The Travel Program allows residents to stay at any RLC community across the country at no extra cost. Whether visiting loved ones or embarking on an adventure, residents can enjoy familiar comforts and the same exceptional service wherever they go.

RLC understands that seniors truly want a life filled with independence, connection, and joy. By taking care of the essentials, RLC gives its residents the gift of time to discover new passions, deepen relationships, and embrace every moment.

RLC has positively impacted the lives of countless residents through its thoughtful services. Take Ellen, for example, who moved to an RLC community with the help of her daughter. Ellen was initially hesitant and uncertain about the transition. Just three months later, the transformation was undeniable. A side-by-side photo taken by her daughter revealed Ellen looking healthier, happier, and more vibrant. The remarkable improvement in her well-being left her daughter profoundly thankful, showcasing how RLC's supportive environment enhances residents' well-being.

RLC sets a new standard in senior living, blending luxury with resort-style amenities to make every day feel like a 5-star vacation.
