We all save for our retirement and then what?  We can have our days packed with lunches, weekly outings to the casinos or a professional sporting event.  Working out in a state of the art health centre or playing billiards in the weekly tournament.  Sometimes we don’t have to get out of bed until after lunch and sometimes we don’t have to go to bed until after midnight.

You would think we were all back in college but no - this is the life in the new retirement communities of today.

The decision to make a move from your current residence into a continuing care retirement community  is one of the biggest challenges we as Canadians have to face and more than often with a great deal of reluctance.   It is difficult to part with the family home and let go of the prized possessions collected over a lifetime and equally difficult to face the fact that we may someday need more assistance with the day to day routines we currently do in our lives.

Selecting the right place to go can be equally as challenging once the decision is made to do it. Click here to read more.
