You took the leap into newfound freedom, but now you might be wondering if a retirement community is the right move for you.
At St. James Place, we know that conversation happens when it’s right for you. And we are here to help take some of the weight off your shoulders. As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), we serve as a resource for you and your family to provide information and guidance in all things senior living. Read some of our tips below to help you take the next steps toward easy retirement living.
- Get the Conversation Started – Broaching the subject of moving into a retirement community with your family or loved ones will help you make the best choice for everyone involved. Working together to decipher the pros and cons of your options can make for productive and positive decisions.
- Do Your Homework – It’s important to remember that senior living has changed. These days, it’s more than just health care—it’s about maintaining your lifestyle and finding personal fulfillment. To guide the conversation and decision process, a little research will help you determine what services and amenities will fulfill your lifestyle and meet your priorities.
- Know Your Priorities – What do you need out of a retirement community? When it comes to senior living, consider your situation and take into account levels of care, amenities, services and finances. Based on that information, you can figure out which community meets your criteria.
- See for Yourself – You won’t know how you really feel about retirement communities until you get a first-hand look. Brochures and photos will guide your interest in different communities, but on-site tours will give you the opportunity to experience the community and make the right choice for you. At St. James Place, we offer phone consultations as well as private tours following social distancing and safety measures.
