At Beatitudes Campus, one of the major considerations we hear from older adults is focused around timing their next move to a retirement community or life plan community. Most people recognize the value in downsizing and moving to a place that suits their current and future needs, but actually pinpointing that moment to move is challenging for some.
Our best advice: Adjust how you view your next move. Throughout our lives when change comes, we generally focus on the exciting opportunities ahead. Take that approach now. As you think about moving, imagine how much you’ll gain–a network of friends, enjoyable programs and amenities, easier living, a plan for the what-ifs, and more.
Once you’re comfortable with the thought of moving, you can tackle the when.
For many older adults who are currently independent, but like the idea of an active retirement in a setting where healthcare services are available if needed down the road, a life plan community can be an ideal solution.
A popular question among prospective residents is, “When is the best time to make the move?” There is no perfect answer to this question because everyone’s situation is different. However, waiting too long can mean missing out on some of the very reasons that seniors are attracted to these communities in the first place.
If you feel a life plan community is right for you, here are a few reasons why you may want to consider moving sooner rather than later:
So, when is the best time to move to a life plan community? The above factors and considerations must go into each person’s unique answer.
