Before starting the decision-making process, there a few crucial questions you'll want to consider.
Are you and your partner ready for a change of community?
Are you wanting to make lifestyle changes along with your move?
Are you sensing encouragement from loved ones about a potential move?
There are several options to consider for a downsizing move. Familiarizing yourself with your choices will help you make the best decision for you.
Condos, or apartments, are a great low-maintenance choice for downsizing. They offer the convenience of a smaller living space often with the added benefits of maintenance (snow removal, gardens, etc.) and amenities (fitness rooms, pools, etc.).
Retirement homes are most often private and offer many convenient services and amenities for seniors. They usually have similar amenities to condos, with possible added benefits like social activities, on-site healthcare staff, and meals.
Assisted living, also known as nursing homes or long-term-care centres, are made for individuals who need more daily support. Access to these homes are determined on a medical needs basis, but they will often provide the same amenities of a retirement home with enhanced healthcare assistance.
While these are the most common choices seniors will consider when downsizing, they are not the only options out there. Consider what is most important to you in your living situation and we will work together to find you a home that best fits your needs.
