Most active older adults don’t realize that there are many benefits to turning the big 55! Surprised to hear there are perks to aging? This is because you haven’t been told about the many discounts and programs available to you once you hit a certain age! So, we hope in arming you with this knowledge, you will begin to take advantage of your 55+ perks.
Discounts for folks over the age of 55:
-
Dining Discounts
Many restaurants offer discounts to seniors. These can be for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even brunch. They offer discount days, discounts on certain foods, or just the total, etc. Others may have separate special menus for seniors at discounted prices featuring healthy food options. When you move into The Residences at the Essex you are able to receive discounts at The Junction or Tavern located right next door!
-
Entertainment Discounts
Seniors get various discounts at museums, movies, golf courses, bowling alleys, and a number of other sources of entertainment. You can obtain information by calling the venues of your choice or checking for special deals online. You can also call your local senior resource center and obtain a list of places that offer different senior rates. Special discounts are also available on cruises and casinos!
-
Grocery and Other Retail Discounts
Many grocery stores in your neighborhood may have scheduled discount days. On these days you can expect to get 10% or 20% on various items. Some malls offer additional discounts for seniors, even off already discounted prices. Make sure you don’t miss these opportunities when you go shopping. There are several supermarkets conveniently close to The Residences at the Essex for your shopping needs.
-
Discounts on Airlines
Many major airlines offer senior discounts too. However, very few actually advertise this fact. This means you have to call the airline and find out about their offers. In addition to airfare, you can also take advantage of your age by requesting assistance with heavy baggage, catching a ride in a motorized cart, or boarding the aircraft first. The Burlington International Airport is just 20 minutes away from our beautiful pet-friendly retirement community in Vermont.
-
Continuing Education Discounts
Many colleges and universities offer free or discounted continuing education courses for 55+ seniors. You can take advantage of this fact and obtain your degree – just call up and ask! The University of Vermont and Champlain College are located in Burlington, which is about 20 minutes from The Residences.
