As people get older, they sometimes want to move closer to family if they’ve moved away. However, finding a safe area to move to can be difficult if you don’t know the city. Fortunately, there are people who can help you find the appropriate type of community for you and your spouse to move to.
Retirement Community Options
If you and your spouse are active and in good health, then you should consider moving into a retirement community. There are several options for retirement communities, including:
* Active Adult Communities
* Leisure Living Communities
* Independent Living Communities
* Continuing Care Retirement Communities
Most communities are restricted to residents 55 and over. A senior living advisor can provide information about these types of communities in the city to which you’re moving.
Types of Housing
There are different types of housing in these communities, depending on their type and where they are located. Some communities offer single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, manufactured housing, or apartments. If you want more outdoor space and privacy, then you may wish to choose a community that has single-family houses or townhomes. A senior living advisor can help you find those types of communities with activities in which you would be interested.
Some communities do not have age restrictions, such as leisure communities. However, they usually service empty-nesters so the residents are often in their 50s or older. The housing may be located next to a golf course or country club and residents usually have access to the clubhouse and course via their rental agreements. In many states, Oasis Senior Advisors can help find this type of community for you and your partner.
Whether you want to move closer to your family or cannot keep up with the maintenance that goes with owning a house, a senior living community could be a good option for you. You can follow them on Google+ for more information.
