Moving from a substantial home into a cozy retirement community can be a bit of a challenge for many seniors. That’s why we make each resident’s transition to a new living space as seamless and as painless as possible. With simple switches like trading in a large sofa for a loveseat, downsizing doesn't have to seem so big! Read more about the upside of downsizing in the post below.

Once we start to see fall foliage, evening sweaters, and our favorite pumpkin-spiced products back on the shelves, it can only mean one thing: flu season is just around the corner. Getting vaccinated before flu season is in full force gives your body a chance to build up immunity to the virus, and helps stop the spread before it starts. Read this post to get more insight as to why you need to get the flu shot as soon as possible.

During normal times, the fall season usually means heading to a pumpkin patch to get lost in a corn maze, walking the streets of a fall festival, visiting a fall play, or some form of gathering in other crowded spaces that do not follow the current social distancing rules.

So, you have decided that now is the time to sell your home and move to a retirement community. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. Take it slow. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was your home. Expect this process to take a while, and do not rush it.
2. Do not be afraid to ask for help! Your friends and family are likely more than willing to help you, and you can hire professional help as well. Our community also offers an Easy Move Program that will help you or a loved one move to our facility. Reach out to us today to learn more.
3. When deciding to donate or sell your furniture, consider having the organization or buyer move the furniture for you. This will save both your back and your time since you will not have to move the furniture yourself.
You can do this! Reach out to us if we can help you in any way!
