Using Your Five Senses When Touring a Retirement Community

Part 4 of 5: Feel

You may have asked all of the right questions and are ready to make the final decision about which retirement community is the right one for you.  But first, you want to see if you can really call this community home.  Walk around and see how you feel…

• Sit on the bed and living room furniture.  Are you comfortable?
• Could you call this community ‘home’?
• Do you feel safe?
• Do you have similar interests to that of the other residents?
• Are you comfortable talking to the staff?

With there being over 60 retirement housing options in Lancaster County alone, make sure that you are taking a look at more than one community, asking all of the right questions, and seeing which community you feel most comfortable with.

If there are questions that you feel are important to ask the retirement community, please share a comment for others to read.
