Why Location Matters When Choosing a Senior Living Community
You’ve probably heard the popular real estate expression: “Location, location, location.”
Location is key to finding the right home or apartment. It’s equally important when it comes to selecting your ideal senior living community. Let’s explore why location is vital in choosing a senior living community, to help you choose a retirement community that exceeds your expectations.
Value and cost of living
Everyone has a budget to consider. Retirees on a fixed income can leverage savvy spending habits to access the senior lifestyle they desire.
Different locations have different costs of living. Factoring this into your senior living decision can help you maximize your budget and balance your lifestyle and financial goals in retirement. Tools like the Genworth Cost of Care Survey can help you discover the average costs of long-term care services in specific areas.
Seek out a location with an average cost of living that matches your financial landscape to live comfortably and within your means. It’s also important to factor in the value of a senior living community lifestyle. Many communities include services and amenities to make residents’ lives easier and more carefree. These add value and offset monthly expenses you may have at home. Take time to consider the full picture of what senior living provides as you weigh your options.

Quality of life

Are you looking for a metropolitan retirement experience? Or would you prefer a peaceful, small-town vibe? Prioritizing proximity to loved ones? Picture what your ideal retirement lifestyle includes. This will help you select a community location that aligns with your life quality needs.

Climate considerations

Do you prefer a dry or humid climate or something in between? Do you wrestle with allergies or other physical concerns that may influence your choice?
