Asking the Right Questions When Visiting a Retirement Community

When considering any new place to call home, it’s important to have all the details you need to make an informed decision—and choosing a retirement community is no different.

Here is a short list of vital questions to ask as you visit different communities:

• How convenient is the location? What’s around the community?
• Is the community a true Continuing Care Retirement Community with a licensed Skilled Nursing Unit?
• What types of contracts and financial options are available?
• Does the community offer a Lifecare option?
• How does the management and staff address questions and concerns from its residents?
• Ask for a disclosure statement showing the community’s financial statements for the last 5 years. How much have fees increased?
• Is the community all-inclusive or are there ancillary charges for certain services & amenities? Check the fine print.
• Is the community prepared to serve its residents in case of an emergency?

Truly independent living comes from the confidence of knowing you made the best choice for your retirement.
