So you want to move to an independent living community, but where do you begin? Let's start by making a plan. Consider the key features and amenities that matter most to you, such as proximity to loved ones or outdoor spaces for gardening. Knowing which items on your wish list are non-negotiable will help you narrow down potential communities.
Next, schedule tours to get an up-close experience. After all, you wouldn’t buy a house if you only saw it online or in a brochure, right? You have a lot to consider, but we think when you meet our team and step inside our cozy communities, you’ll feel more at ease about the decision. We're here to assist you every step of the way.
