Park Springs offers real, hands-on assistance selling your home.

There was no shortage of fine retirement communities in Atlanta to choose from.  But none offered Bob and Charlene (“Chuckie”) Towles hands-on assistance with selling their Florida home.

Bob liked the value he saw in the Vintage Home Program (VHP).  It gives new Members a way to start enjoying the Park Springs lifestyle even before their former home has sold.

Rather than wait, the Towles moved into Park Springs while their Florida home was on the market.

“Brian Thomas, who directs VHP, couldn’t have done more for us.” Bob adds.  “He helped with all the paperwork involved in our sale and negotiated for us with the realtor.  His team even arranged for packing and moving.”

The Towles’ sunny, two-bedroom Park Springs villa has a lovely view of Stone Mountain.  Bob, an Atlanta native, has reconnected with a number of friends and neighbors, including several now living at Park Springs.  Chuckie, whose health pBoblems were one reason for the move, is doing well.

The couple is enjoying freedom from cooking and the chance to participate in a variety of Park Springs activities.  They’re also pleased to be near family members, including their daughter and Bob’s brother.

Vintage Home Success Stories

We have been offering the Vintage Home Program at Park Springs for over two years as a way for prospective Members to take advantage of all Park Springs has to offer with out having sold their home.  Over 50 Members have taken advantage of the program and more than 30 have already sold their home and moved into new senior homes in Atlanta, three of whom share their story at http://www.parkspringscommunities.com/lunchandlearn/.  The program, which can be best described on our web site at http://www.parkspringscommunities.com/vintage-home-plan.php, will be the focus of two lunch and learn opportunities February 14th and 16th at Park Springs. If you would like additional information, please contact one of our Residency Counselors at (678) 684-3300.

Chaplain Intern at Cobblestone

Did you know that our Atlanta continuing care retirement community has a chaplain intern right now? We do! Susan Ferdon is a divinity student at McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University.

Susan makes rounds at Cobblestone on Wednesdays, facilitates the Park Springs Bereavement Group and has also been gracious enough to assist with our annual Service of Remembrance and with various other speaking engagements around Park Springs.

 

We have certainly enjoyed having Susan here and benefiting from her special gifts. Look for her on Wednesday afternoons at Cobblestone!

 

Park Springs trys Valet Parking!

Lisa Kiely, Leisure Services Director

This Memo was sent to our Members 1/27/11 by Lisa Kiely, Leisure Services Director:

We are excited to announce that Valet Service will begin Tuesday, February 1st!

This is a complementary service to you and as with other services at Park Springs no tipping is allowed.

In an effort to reduce parking concerns for both our members and our guests we have contracted with Prestige Valet for four months!

By way of contracting this service we have the opportunity to track the number of cars parked, peak usage times and to document member comments.

The valet will place a comment card (for positive and constructive) feedback in each car as it is parked. We ask that you drop the comment card in the comment box at the valet or Concierge desk during your next visit. The information will be tracked and will assist us in determining to continue with the service.

In our hopes that this will be a welcomed, value added service, we will contract the Valet Service as is, and look at adding options for unloading groceries/packages, all member campus valet parking, an on campus shuttle and/or off-campus transportation within a 3-5 mile radius.

There will be two (insured) valets (wearing black pants, shoes and time, a white button down shirt and a red jacket with the name Prestige Valet Services) positioned outside the Clubhouse from 11:00am-8:00 pm Monday-Friday.

The valet service will use 20 reserved spaces between the Clubhouse and Cobblestone.

In the event that you have not picked up your car before 8:00pm closing of the valet, they will pull your car up and will bring your keys to you or the Dining room hostess.

I’m looking forward to the next four months and hope that you will share your thoughts and opinions with me.
