How can adult children or the seniors themselves begin their search for a retirement community?
Today, most people begin with the Internet. A good place to start is to learn the difference between “assisted living” and “independent living” communities. Knowing which one is right for a loved one will immediately narrow the search. Most senior communities have websites and a marketing teammate on staff to help with questions. In most communities, families get a private tour and stay as guests for lunch or dinner when they are considering a community.
What challenges do people face when looking for a retirement community that best fits them and their needs?
Education is one of the most important elements in a family's search. Make the time to understand the options and what is included with a month-to-month rental community. That, and meet your neighbors to hear how happy they are, and what makes their home fun and safe, while offering the peace of mind that comes from choice and flexibility.
How do you know if it's the right place when looking for a retirement community?
Each senior living community has a different feel - a soul if you will. And if you are visiting for yourself or for a parent, you want to see if the place feels “right”. And “right” is different for everybody. Re-engaging socially is one of the most transformative aspects for seniors downsizing and moving to a community.
