When Will YOU Be Ready?

Why do some people know instantly that Park Springs™ is for them, while others contemplate the decision for months? We’ve had many discussions with older adults on this subject. The signs of readiness they’ve shared with us may be of interest to you. For them, being ready meant …

...recognizing that every aspect of their lives was being handled by someone else. Like the housekeeping service...the lawn service…the appliance repairman…or the home health assistant. Balancing and managing these services can be overwhelming. Being ready means freedom from this kind of dependence. At Park Springs™ meals, transportation, health care and home maintenance are our responsibility, not yours.

...recognizing that the quality of their life was not as good as it once was, or as good as it could be. Some older adults find themselves becoming isolated. In some cases they do not receive the care and assistance they need, such as healthy meals, exercise, companionship or visits to the beauty shop. Being ready means seeking a more satisfying quality of life. Park Springs™ activities, dining options and vibrant spirit make isolation a thing of the past.

...recognizing that adult children may not be there for them. It’s hard to admit, but it happens. As your children grow up they take on many responsibilities. Often children move further and further away and even have children of their own. Being ready means making independent choices. At Park Springs™ your needs are met, even when family members cannot be there.

...recognizing that a life-changing health event could occur any time. Many older adults know of a friend or spouse who was the picture of health one day and in a dramatically different state the next. A fall, the onset of disease or a disabling injury can mean sudden dependence. Being ready is knowing that medical help – from home health assistance to residential dementia care – is available on campus, 24 hours a day. And if a spouse becomes ill, factors like weather or transportation won’t get in the way of visiting.

...recognizing that they can hold on to favorite places or pursuits. Whether it’s a comfortable bridge group, a beloved place of worship or a long-time doctor, Park Springs™ members, local or relocating, can still enjoy the things they love. Our spacious homes offer easy living floorplans you can imagine filled by your life and loved ones, with plenty of room for those favorite possessions. Our lifestyle offers endless opportunities to pursue new or favorite activities. Being ready is understanding that it’s not about what you’re leaving, but about what you’re gaining.

...recognizing that retirement can be an amazingly fun and rewarding time, but only if they make it happen. For years, older adults have heard that these can be the best years of their lives. But until now, that has not been easy. Traditional retirement options lack the amenities and independence today’s savvy older adults demand. Being ready means knowing the ideal retirement is one that best fits your needs and interests.
