Are you thinking about your future and eyeing a move to a retirement community? Timing is everything, as the saying goes. Now is a great time to make a move, especially if it’s to Beatitudes Campus, our senior living community in Phoenix, Arizona. Among the unique advantages this year, these are the top five reasons you’ll want to get moving sooner rather than later.

  1. With housing values so high, you likely have more equity than ever in your home. If you sell your house now, you’ll get top dollar and a fair amount of newfound money by virtue of all that equity. Why not put it to good use and secure your future? If you wait too long, you risk selling during the real estate market’s inevitable course correction and leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
  2. You have more choices than ever. There’s never been a better time to choose a home at Beatitudes Campus. We offer Patio Homes and apartments in an array of sizes, styles and floor plans, including new and recently updated residences. With several financial options — from all-inclusive entrance fee plans to flexible, month-to-month renting — you’re sure to find one that suits your budget and personal preferences.
  3. Predictable monthly expenses and so much more. If you’re concerned about rising prices, now is your chance to lock in a lower cost of living. Our new Rate Lock Plan protects you from inflation and rising prices by lowering your monthly fee and locking it in place. Since your monthly fee covers the cost of your apartment home, all utilities, housekeeping and maintenance, you won’t feel the sting of continued cost hikes.

Also, your monthly fee at Beatitudes Campus gives you so much more than basic living expenses. You get access to more than 100 clubs, activities, amenities, programs, entertainment and more. With a predictable monthly fee and no surprises, regardless of inflation, it all adds up to a greater sense of security and peace of mind.

  1. Care close to home starting on day one. If you or your spouse need care, you’re never far apart at Beatitudes Campus. We provide highly rated, nationally recognized care onsite, including rehabilitative therapies, home care, skilled nursing care and memory support, by experts you can trust.
  2. Not ready to make a move yet? Take a look at our exciting, new senior living choice coming to Beatitudes Campus. Along with spacious, modern floor plans, the Promenade Residences will offer special in-house amenities, including a bistro, expanded fitness center and a wonderful, tree-lined courtyard with a fire pit and chess tables. Since the Promenade Residences are still in the planning phase, you can lock in your best possible monthly fee now and have all the time you need to plan your move.

Exploring The Community

When choosing the right senior living option for you, exploring the community is one of the best ways to get a feel for daily life and what you can expect while living there. If you’re following along with our quick start senior living guide, you’ll remember we discussed first setting your expectations and goals in step 1. In step 2, we provided resources for how to compare your different options.

Step 3 of our quick start senior living guide brings you to exploring the community for yourself. Visiting the community on-site is a great way to get a sense of the grounds, meet the staff, and decide if it’s a good fit. However, visiting on-site isn’t the only way to explore the community. Virtual options also allow you to discover floor plan options and explore the lifestyle and entertainment opportunities.

Take a look at a few tips for how to explore all that a community has to offer.

Future Expansion Offers Right Place In The Right Community At The Right Time

When Beatitudes Campus began its new expansion of Patio Homes, Marta and Tom Brooks of Phoenix, Arizona, were interested but the timing felt off. They weren’t quite ready to move yet. However, when the senior living community announced its latest expansion, the Promenade Residences, would be coming in 2023, they jumped at the opportunity to be the first in line to choose their new place.

“We’ve been thinking about and planning for the future. We like the idea of living in a community that offers helpful services, maintenance-free living and care options. We’ve looked at quite a number actually, both here in Phoenix and in Flagstaff, where my husband’s daughter lives,” said Marta. “Beatitudes Campus was the best fit for us. The Promenade Residences offered the perfect solution. We could get our choice of a new place and we didn’t have to move in immediately.”

For Marta, a retired healthcare executive and former nurse, Beatitudes Campus was a top choice from the beginning. She had previously worked with the community in her role at a not-for-profit organization.

“I had worked with Beatitudes Campus as well as other senior living communities on a professional level for some time. My familiarity with the staff and the day-to-day operations made me very comfortable with them,” she said.

Charter Members Get First Choice

As part of the expansion, Beatitudes Campus developed the Promenade Charter Membership program to give future residents the ability to learn about and evaluate the plans for the new residences and get to know Beatitudes Campus better. Those who are ready to take the next step can choose their favorite floor plan and location from the available residences. As the first Promenade Charter Members, Marta and Tom had their pick of any place in the building. They chose a spacious Two-Bedroom Grand apartment on the corner.

“We both love the layout. I particularly find it appealing with its open great room and the location of the guest room versus the master bedroom and the spaciousness of the storage and closets,” said Marta. “We’re absolutely delighted with the way they organized the layout of the property to include resources in the building without having them right at your front door.”

Promenade Charter Members enjoy other benefits too, including lower pricing, choice of features, finishes and upgrades, invitations to special events and more.

“We especially liked being able to hear about the plans before anyone else and the ability to choose where we wanted to live,” said Marta. “Plus, we’ve been able to participate in some of the decisions about the interior finishes, which was nice.”

Making The Transition

Even as exciting as it is to watch one’s plans come into focus, the thought of making a move can still feel daunting. For Tom, a retired judge and lifelong Arizona resident, moving from his home of 40 years feels bittersweet. To help ease the transition, Beatitudes Campus offers a variety of moving resources.

“He’s been living here since 1982 and making the transition is a big deal. Thankfully, Beatitudes Campus offers so much support for the move. He definitely didn’t realize how valuable that is,” said Marta. “I was an Army brat and lived in 27 different houses, not counting transition housing so moving to me is something I could do in my sleep.”

Along with help with moving, Beatitudes Campus offers one-on-one assistance from a residency counselor.

“Part of the pleasure of this experience has been working with our residency counselor, Sara Paull. She has become a member of the family. She’s very responsive and absolutely wonderful, and a reflection of the nature of the staff at Beatitudes Campus,” said Marta.

Summing It Up

With all that the Beatitudes Campus lifestyle offers, what are Marta and Tom most excited about when thinking about their future move into the Promenade Residences?

“There’s a certain burden with homeownership and that burden becomes larger as you get older. It’s harder to get things done. When the time comes, we’ll like not having the constant concern about living in an older house and our ability to keep up with things,” said Marta. “We won’t even have to change a lightbulb.”

So, you feel like you picked the right place in the right community at the right time?

“You can say that. No question. I already feel a sense of belonging,” she said.

Step 1

  • Outline your expectations and aspirations for the future. Have fun with this and consider enlisting friends and family in the conversation.
  • Request our Retirement Planning Guide. It offers an easy, interactive way of thinking through what’s most important to you.

When you’re ready, check out step 2!

The nation’s largest older adult health and wellness event, now in its 28th year, is May 26. National Senior Health & Fitness Day® will see 100,000 seniors in 1,000-plus locations participating in local health and wellness events.

We embrace and affirm this special day, pointing to our long-standing dedication to creating the community setting in which seniors can readily engage in healthy, fit lifestyles. We’re coming out of a year in which a pandemic has limited access and activity for everyone. Therefore, this is an especially good time to ramp up your personal wellness practices.

Start Simple.

Consider basics, such as:

  • Healthy eating. Meaning, you should try to avoid the bad fats, control portions, get at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, include nuts, trim the salt—and do what your doctor tells you.
  • Dinner guests. Friendship is good for you, and during shared meals, you’re likely to eat less.
  • Body & brain exercise. Strength-building and cardio training take care of what’s below your chin but also remember to go upstairs to keep your brain growing. Reading, writing, word and memory games—it’s all good for the gray matter.
  • Falling is a health risk and adding balance exercises to your fitness routine can help you avoid accidents.
  • Breaking routines. While the familiar brings comfort, trying something new or doing something differently can stimulate you mentally and physically.

The All-In-One Wellness Move.

Families often remark on the myriad improvements they observe in their loved ones after a move to a senior living community. It could be the food, the socially engaging environment, the programs and activities, or even the freedom from homeownership responsibilities. Or simply the entire lifestyle’s effect on the resident.

Serving One Purpose Above All.

Senior living communities offer a setting for healthy living.

John Shilling, Director of Life Enrichment at Beatitudes Campus, oversees resident-serving departments at the community. His Life Enrichment team coordinates campus-wide services, including fitness, transportation and programs.

By creating meaningful opportunities for engagement, Life Enrichment fulfills the community’s purpose—to enrich residents’ lives. In doing so, the team must also rely on residents to share their ideas for what they want.

“We create an environment where there are no walls—where every Beatitudes resident feels welcome in every program,” John says.

“Anyone Can Make Their Ideas Come To Life.”

Senior living communities typically offer a variety of programs for life enrichment. However, Beatitudes Campus is among the few that provide such depth and breadth of programming—with many originating from residents’ expressed interests.

  • Art gallery exhibits
  • Art studio
  • Ceramics and painting classes
  • Gardening areas and walking paths
  • Three dog parks
  • Musical and dance performances
  • Woodworking shop
  • Committees, clubs and special interest groups
  • Educational programs
  • Lectures and presentations
  • Spiritual programs
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Bocce ball court
  • Fitness Center with state-of-the-art equipment
  • Fitness classes
  • Heated swimming pool
  • Motion studio for exercise and fitness classes
  • Putting green

In addition, Beatitudes Campus residents can also continue to learn. The Beatitudes Center for Lifelong Learning offers spring, summer and fall semesters, with as many as two dozen courses each semester. Plus, new courses are continuously in development—as resources become available or when residents express their interest.

Wellness Is A Point Of View.

In short, integrating wellness practices—the life enrichment that comes from fitness, socializing and learning—makes for a way of life not possible outside the community setting. That’s why life in a senior living community is good for your well-being. And it’s why so many new residents say, “I wish I’d moved here sooner.”

So, on National Senior Health & Fitness Day, take up the challenge of enriching your life. Ramp up your personal wellness practices. Call (602) 833-1358 to schedule a tour at Beatitudes Campus or submit a form online.
