Many active adults wait too long to make a move to a community that has the resources on campus to take care of the what ifs that life serves up.
Below are some questions and answers that make you think about the subject.
What are the reasons people choose NOT TO MOVE to a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community)?
“I’m not ready.”
“I don’t want to live with all those old people.”
“I don’t want to give up my independence, my home, my stuff.”
“I can’t bear the thought of cleaning out the closets, attic, and the garage.”
“I can’t afford it.”
“I don’t want to live in an institutional setting.”
“The wide range of amenities and activities here is truly remarkable. And best of all, my children don’t have to worry about me – ever.”
What are the reasons people DO CHOOSE to move to a retirement community?

The opportunities for continued personal growth.
