The First Step: A Needs Assessment

Understanding Your Unique Needs and Goals

Before exploring the different types of retirement communities, it’s important to consider your current situation and what you want your next step to look like. A thoughtful needs assessment is the first step in choosing senior living that feels like the right fit.

Here are a few things to consider:

• Health and accommodations: Discuss any health concerns or conditions, daily activities, mobility and restrictions, and where you need assistance (bathing, medications, etc).

• Social desires: Explore the type of lifestyle you enjoy, whether that be more social and interactive, or private and purposeful.

• Future outlook: Prompt readers to think about potential future health changes and how a community can accommodate them.

Independent Living

Independent Living is all about comfort and freedom. Our pet-friendly apartments feature modern kitchens, stainless-steel appliances, and extras like dens or private balconies with views of the city or nature. Living here means enjoying a maintenance-free lifestyle with all the perks of a vibrant community – restaurants, shopping, parks, and entertainment are just steps away. And if your needs change over time, in-home support services are available, so you can keep living the lifestyle you love with just the right amount of help.
