Moving According to You: Senior Living

When you start to question, “Is it time to move to senior living?” it is important to consider what your “must haves” are to make the move.

When Stu, an EverTrue Life Plan Community resident, was considering moving from his two-story home into a Life Plan Community, he wasn’t sure where to start.

“We didn’t know what to look for at first. It was a learning experience. We didn’t even think to ask about washers and dryers in apartments!” reflects Stu.

They toured a few places, but when they visited EverTrue, met with team members and learned about the services and amenities, he knew he was in the right place. “We say, ‘Holy cow, we got lucky! We found the perfect place with everything we wanted and needed, plus lots of help with the moving process.”

Stu was guided by the EverTrue Move-in Resources team every step of the way. “Downsizing is huge. Everybody’s got a story. Move-in Resources made it easy,” says Stu.

Stu recommends considering the following things when making your decision.

Top Things to Consider When Making Your Move:

• Healthcare Needs: Plan for today and tomorrow. What will you do if your health needs change? EverTrue Life Plan Communities offer a full spectrum of support, including independent living, assisted living, memory support or care center.
• Social Interaction: Do you have opportunities to be active, make friends and stay engaged? EverTrue Life Plan Communities offer a wide range of activities whether you like to travel, learn, engage in sports or anything in between.

• Moving Support: Downsizing your life, selling your house and arranging your new home can feel overwhelming. Who can you trust to help?
