Aging is a time to consider your future living arrangements. Choosing an Independent Living Community to live your retirement life is a big decision, but also sometimes a necessary one, here I have mentioned some points you must consider when choosing an independent living community.
The Community should be comfortable for you or your loved one and be surrounded by residents who you can connect with.
When you take a virtual tour of an independent living community make sure you take the time to talk with existing residents, as well as the staff. Take an half day or one full day tour of the community to learn and understand more about the facilities they provide. You want to feel comfortable with the food, caregivers and apartment wherever you decide to live.
Make sure that the staffs are fast, efficient and friendly and they offers some of your favourite hobbies and activities. Do an online research and try to find some reviews about the community. It will be better if you can find contact details of relatives of existing or previous residents. So they will give you a clear picture of their experience with the community.
You also want make sure the amenities outside the community campus are within walking distance or that public transportation in nearby.
Visit two or three other independent living communities in your city and compare the cost and facilities they offer. Also if you are a veteran or widow or spouse of veteran, then ask about the financial benefits.
