How to choose among active senior living communities in your area
                     How to choose among 
active senior living 
communities in your 
area
 Although all active adult communities aim to provide members with the 
greatest location to retire, there are numerous differences between them. 
While some areas are like little neighborhoods, others are like huge resort-
style settings. Since people who reach the age of 80 live another eight to 10 
years on average according to the Center for Disease Control, there are more 
active senior living communities than ever. There are some common, useful 
methods that can help in the search for active senior living communities in 
your area. Below are some of them.
 Choose a retirement location
 The first step is to choose a place to live. Retirement locations require a lot of 
thought. Alongside being close to family and friends, the climate is equally 
important.
 Active adult communities provide a wide range of facilities, but the region 
around the community is just as significant. Some active 
senior living communities are in tiny towns, suburbs, or large cities. Others 
are nearby mountains, deserts, beaches, and even northern towns.
 Determine care level
 There are several options for elder care, from independent living homes for 
seniors who are still active to assisted living facilities with different levels of 
care to places that specialize in memory care. Different communities and 
facilities are available at each level of care. Focus your search based on your 
preferences to get the appropriate degree of care for your senior.
 Plan your budget
 Homes that fit various budgets are available in the diverse, active adult 
communities. Consider any community fees in addition to the cost of the 
home when making relocation plans. Even though many facilities are often 
included in the basic fees, certain communities may charge extra for 
memberships or other costs for tennis, golf, classes, or other activities. 
Ensure you take the cost of living into account before you decide.
 Talk with friends and neighbors
 Speak with friends or neighbors who have looked at active senior living 
communities in your area or a senior who has already moved into one.
 The most reliable information comes from first-hand reports, so use your 
network to your advantage while researching. Additionally, the community 
marketing team can offer to set you up with a resident for lunch and 
conversation.
 Visit the community
 You should visit each community that interests you before moving too far 
ahead in the decision-making process. Schedule your appointment with 
marketing personnel ahead to receive a comprehensive tour to inspect the 
facilities, such as bedding. Ensure you wear supportive shoes the day of your 
tour because you’ll probably be doing a lot of walking.
