Time to Move?

Do you love your current neighborhood but feel like it is time to move?

It is difficult to figure out time to move especially when you leave a place you love. Memories have been made and you have made comfortable existence in these homes. Leaving good neighbors, friends and activities that you have grown accustom to. The cost, effort, unknown. Change can be overwhelming, today we are going to look at some steps that can help.

Moving when we are under age 45?

Change is never easy. Would you guess that averages Americans will move between the ages of 18 and 45 at a minimum of five times. It is true, when we are older 60% of buyers say the quality of the neighborhood is the top factor that influences their move choice. Other factors are minimal but neighborhood related. Shops and restaurants, More Space. Daycare. Closer to work. Schools are good. Clean friendly parks. Closer to mom and dad as they age.

How many more times will we move as a senior?

Retirement A study found that more than half of retirees don’t move from the homes they lived in when they were in their early 50s. About a fifth move around the time of retirement, and the rest move only when their health requires it. Age Larger proportion of the oldest old population move than those between the ages of 65 and 84. More than 3 million adults over the age of 65 move every year. This is related to care needs and facilities. Downsizing Downsizing can become an option once children have left the home. Studies show that people often start considering downsizing when they are in their late 50s or early 60s.

Some reasons seniors move:

Closer to friends and family
Enjoy a better quality of life
Access to senior-centric activities or employment

  Golden Placement Services answered!

It’s really difficult to have to place an aging parent into a facility, but our family knew it was time. So I did some research, called 15 facilities, and managed to get on one wait list. I also called two companies that assist with finding homes, and they said they could not help. We were concerned we wouldn’t find a place, and if we did, it could be a very poor choice for our dad.

Then I was given Golden Placement Services phone number and I spoke with a lovely woman named LaVona. That’s when everything changed!

LaVona listened to our family’s needs, was understanding, and within days, she had arranged places for us to visit. How she found them, I don’t know, but she did! She met us there, listened some more, answered questions, and offered sage advice.

We will forever be grateful for Golden Placement Services help in making this very tough decision. We absolutely know that my dad is in the right place to spend the rest of his life. And, we wouldn’t have that assurance today, had we not been connected with their wonderful service!

They have blessed us greatly and we are sharing their information with others we know who are going through the same process.
