You’re golden years are here and it’s time to kick back and relax. Instead of spending your retirement in your current neighborhood surrounded by young families, consider moving into an active retirement community. Take the time to tour different communities before deciding on a location to settle in. Whether you are looking to retire in Pebblecreek homes or a different retirement community, here are 5 questions to ask. - How established is the community? There are many salesmen that will try to rope you into a community that hasn’t been built yet. If that’s the case, make sure the developer has the necessary finances to complete the project. You don’t want to put your deposit down on a home that won’t ever be finished.
- What’s included in the monthly premium? In most retirement communities, you’ll have access to health and personal care services. Some may include it in the standard monthly fee while others may require additional funds. It’s important to understand whether amenities such as the pool, internet, and other features will cost you extra to enjoy. It could end up changing your cost each month.
- What kinds of activities are available? Many people choose to move into a retirement community because of the friendship and companionship it offers. With so many other people in the same situation as you, fostering relationships is easier than ever. Make sure that the community that you choose offers plenty of opportunities to get to know those around you. Whether they have line dancing or bingo nights, scheduled events are a sign of a great community.
- Are there any special amenities to be aware of? To keep their residents happy, many retirement communities are offering additional perks and amenities. Some provide high-speed internet free of charge while others may have a juice bar. Find out if your community offers any special perks so that you don’t miss out!
- Is there transportation available? If you don’t drive, you need a retirement community that has a transportation plan. Many retirement communities offer a bus service or transportation for their residents. If a prospective community doesn’t, ask if there are public transportation or taxis nearby.
When looking to retire in Pebblecreek homes or other retirement communities, it’s important to take your time. Tour each community, ask these 5 questions, and review prices before diving in. Making the right choice ensures that your golden years are truly golden.
