How to choose among active senior living
communities in your area
2

• Although all active adult communities aim to
  provide members with the greatest location to
  retire, there are numerous differences between
  them. While some areas are like little
  neighborhoods, others are like huge resort-style
  settings. Since people who reach the age of 80
  live another eight to 10 years on average
  according to the Center for Disease Control,
  there are more active senior living communities
  than ever. There are some common, useful methods
  that can help in the search for active senior
  living communities in your area. Below are some
  of them.
• Choose a retirement location
• The first step is to choose a place to
  live. Retirement locations require a lot of
  thought. Alongside being close to family and
  friends, the climate is equally important.

• Active adult communities provide a wide range of
  facilities, but the region around the community
  is just as significant. Some active senior living
  communities are in tiny towns, suburbs, or large
  cities. Others are nearby mountains, deserts,
  beaches, and even northern towns.
• Determine care level
• There are several options for elder care, from
  independent living homes for seniors who are
  still active to assisted living facilities with
  different levels of care to places that
  specialize in memory care. Different communities
  and facilities are available at each level of
  care. Focus your search based on your preferences
  to get the appropriate degree of care for your
  senior.

• Plan your budget
• Homes that fit various budgets are available in
  the diverse, active adult communities. Consider
  any community fees in addition to the cost of the
  home when making relocation plans. Even though
  many facilities are often included in the
  basic fees, certain communities may charge extra
  for memberships or other costs for tennis, golf,
  classes, or other activities. Ensure you take the
  cost of living into account before you decide.
• Talk with friends and neighbors
• Speak with friends or neighbors who have looked
  at active senior living communities in your area
  or a senior who has already moved into one.

• The most reliable information comes from
  first-hand reports, so use your network to your
  advantage while researching. Additionally, the
  community marketing team can offer to set you up
  with a resident for lunch and conversation.
• Visit the community
• You should visit each community that interests
  you before moving too far ahead in the
  decision-making process. Schedule your
  appointment with marketing personnel ahead to
  receive a comprehensive tour to inspect the
  facilities, such as bedding. Ensure you wear
  supportive shoes the day of your tour because
  youll probably be doing a lot of walking.
