Let's Plan Together
When faced with major decisions in life, it's comforting
to know that there are people and places to turn to that will help address
questions with knowledge and understanding. Moving to a senior living community
is one decision you shouldn't make alone. We'll help you consider the "what
ifs," and plan together so you can control where and how you live.
FACING THE "WHAT IF'S" IN LIFE
Over the last 30 years, we've come to know the concerns
faced by older adults and their families as they go through the process of
choosing retirement housing. So many of the seniors that we meet are wary of
moving to a retirement community and are very concerned that it may not offer as
much as staying in one's home. The truth is that living in a community offers
conveniences and a friendly environment that keep people active, happier and
healthier.
There are many issues to consider during the process of change, some of which
are, current lifestyle, what's most important to you, your finances,
expectations for services and, of course, the range of housing choices.
In a series of articles we'll address some of these issues and guide you through
the process of making a decision regarding retirement living options.
WHEN DRIVING IS A CONCERN
Driving always becomes an issue, at some point, as we get older. When we are
teenagers, we can't wait to get behind the wheel so we can have our
independence, and as we age, we dread "giving up the keys." Is the inability to
drive beginning to change your life?
Often, the changes come on so slowly that we hardly notice them. Do you avoid
asking family and friends for rides? Have you stopped going places? Do you find
yourself spending more time with the television than you do with people? If you
answered yes to any of those questions, living in a retirement community will
help you remain an "on the go" person who's independent and enjoying life.
At The Summit of Uptown, you'll be able to keep your ability to pretty much go
as you please. By using the on-request personal chauffeur services of Summit's
driver, you will have easy access to medical appointments, the local banks,
churches, and stores. You will also relieve your family of the strain on their
schedules. Our scheduled bus service, used for group outings, will give you easy
access to shopping and entertainment.
