Top 5 Reasons to Tour a Senior Living Community Today!
By Lisa Mach, Franklin Park, Collin LIVING WELL Magazine
1. Research, Research, Research
When it comes to choosing your retirement community there are many details to consider. These decisions take time and research to make an educated choice. Make a spreadsheet that reflects your needs, budget, and desired lifestyle. Are you looking for a rental, a buy in, an all-inclusive community?
2. Make a Wish List
What is your desired lifestyle? Make a “wish list” for the type of lifestyle you want from your perfect community. What amenities are important to you – an indoor heated pool, a greenhouse, walking paths, meals?
3. A Snapshot of Daily Life
Touring is the best way to develop a greater sense of the “personality” of each community. You will learn about the wonderful socializing opportunities, endless activities and amenities that are available and get a look at the personalized services you can have at your fingertips.
4. Talk to Those Who Have Lived It
Once you have picked the communities you want to visit, ask to speak with some residents on your tour. Who better to talk to than people who live there every day!
5. Experience the Lifestyle!
A wonderful way to get an even better idea of the personality of the residents and community is to plan an overnight stay. This enables you to spend more time with residents and get a feel of day to day living. You will be pleasantly surprised at all senior living has to offer!
