As you start to narrow down your selection of senior living communities, consider making time to visit over the holiday season. The holiday season is the best time of the year to visit your local senior living community.
Below are the top five reasons.
1. The Ambiance – All communities are fully decorated with lights, Christmas trees and the fresh smell of pine. The feel of the whole community is very warm and inviting over the holidays.
2. Family – Most people spend the holidays with family. Family travels from near and far to put aside their differences and be together for the holiday. This family togetherness is exactly what is needed for a holiday visit at your local senior communities. Bring your family with you to get their thoughts on the home as well as ask visiting families about their feelings towards the community they are living in.
3. Activities – Holidays can be a lonely time in a senior living facility which is why community managers try to keep all residents busy with holiday activities. Activities include decorating the tree, the lighting of the Menorah, creating Christmas ornaments and cards as well as singing Christmas carols. Be sure to join in on the holiday fun!
4. Less Pressure – Visiting a senior living community over the holidays is stress free because most residents and community managers are busy with the holidays and will leave you alone to visit without the pressure of signing papers.
5. Incentives – December is not a popular time for senior moves, which is why many facilities will offer special incentives to sign such as a free month.
