And When Choosing a Senior Living Community, Be (at Least) a Little Demanding
We call it “shopping” for senior living intentionally, because quite often, just like with other, important purchases (houses, cars, appliances, etc.), there’s a lot to consider, including some inevitable pros and cons.
A house, for example, may have a fabulous kitchen, but lack the outdoor living space you want. And maybe to get the sunroof or other features you desire in a vehicle, you have to move up to a premium model and pay more. Either way, you’re compromising something to get something else.
You may run in to similar scenarios with senior living communities as well. Maybe a community has beautiful apartments, but an average dining experience. Another has great amenities, but care options that aren’t ideal for you or your loved one. And of course, one (or more) may “tick all the boxes,” but are simply too expensive.
Our advice? In your quest for a senior living solution, be demanding! If you want it all, then don’t settle for much less. Today more than ever, you don’t have to.

Step outside and you’ll often find sweeping nature views, covered and uncovered seating, outdoor recreation and maybe even a spectacular, resort-style pool area!

But also factor in no buy-ins or commitments, no hidden charges, and this, which is a benefit you’ll find at select communities: Our Optional Rent Lock Pricing Protection Program, which keeps your cost the same for either one, two or three years or maybe even for life…guaranteed!
