What needs do you have?  Let's discover together.

  • Do you prefer a retirement community or would you prefer to age in place?
  • If you buy in an over-55 community, are you buying a deeded real-estate interest that can be bought and sold? Can you use any broker to sell the property?
  • Can you try out a community by living there for a few weeks? (Think short-term rental units.)
  • What recreational facilities are available? Are they actually being used?
  • What health and medical care is available? What about costs? What s the quality of the services being offered?
  • Is there a common dining room? Is there a calendar of social events?
  • What are the total fees and charges for a month? What are the highest and lowest costs per month, and why are they different?
  • Given that moving to an over-55 community can involve major financial and estate issues, it would be wise to speak with an attorney who specializes in elder law before signing any paperwork. This is also a good time to consider a will and living will.
