Why Seniors

Love Central Virginia

JABA

CAAR Real Estate Weekly | www.charlottesvillerealestateweekly.com

By Marilyn PriBus

Central Virginia is consid-

ered a great place to retire—and with good reason. in fact, Money Magazine, working with Sperling’s BestPlaces. net, shows Charlottesville as number two on their national top-ten list of Places to retire Young. Criteria include a thriving economy, reasonable cost of living and housing coupled with positive population and job growth. they also seek an airport served by major airlines, sports, recreation, arts and culture and a major college in the vicinity.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Clearly this area fulfills everything on that list, plus activities and housing developments designed specifically for the over-55 crowd, and the exceptional medical care provided by the University of Virginia’s Healthcare System and Martha Jefferson Hospital. add in abundant recreation options from skiing to golf and an remarkably active arts scene and you have a vibrant community for seniors.

Activities and Services for Seniors Of course, many seniors join activities for all ages such as church

functions, musical groups, sports activities and volunteer programs.

Some also like programs exclusively for older folks.

The Senior Center

The SENIOR CENTER, INC., (www.SeniorCenter.org), on Pepsi Place is an extremely active organization with both paid staff and volunteers and membership open to those 50 or older. their mission statement: Our vision is to be an indispensable asset to seniors and the community.

Programs and services embrace health and fitness, lifelong learning, recreation, arts and community service. an Open House is held the first tuesday of each month where visitors attend a noon orientation session to learn about programs, classes and activities such as trips.

The Jefferson Area Board on Aging, (www.JabaCares.org), locally dubbed JaBa, aims to help elders remain as independent as possible. each year JaBa helps older adults and their families by providing food, health care, cooling and heating assistance, insurance counseling, transportation and companionship. JaBa

volunteers visit the homebound and JaBa nurses make home visits and provide checkups at JaBa housing, community centers and adult day care facilities. JaBa has several affordable independent living facilities as well as Mountainside Senior living, an affordable assisted living community with memory care.

JAUNT, Inc., (www.rideJaunt. org), is a regional transportation system providing independence to seniors who cannot drive or easily get to a bus stop. transportation is available to get to doctor’s appointments, the airport, shopping and other activities.

Seniors Love to Volunteer there are many avenues to volunteering in the area. recently, for instance, www.volunteermatch.org listed 77 volunteer-needed requests for everything from Habitat for Humanity to helping out at the Dis-

covery Museum on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. JABA offers a variety of volunteer positions such as mentoring, working at the JABA Thrift Shop, delivering meals, recording for the blind and other services.

Local SPCAs need foster homes and dog walkers and some of Charlottesville’s many entertainment venues use volunteers. “We have approximately 250 volunteers,” says Jason Williams, Facilities Manager at The Paramount Theater (www.TheParamount.net). “I’d guess that at least 60 percent are over the age of 65.”

Another example is Live Arts (www.

LiveArts.org), where volunteers work as performers, creating sets and costumes, ushering and other aspects of live theater.

Housing Options Abound People who retire to the Charlottesville region have a wide range of housing options. Here are some examples from the most to least independent living.

CAAR Real Estate Weekly | www.charlottesvillerealestateweekly.com

Mixed Generation Community This is the classic American community. It could be a long-time existing in-town neighborhood or a brand new development for homeowners from young families to retirees. One example is Lake Monticello in Fluvanna County.

Four Seasons of Charlottesville

Ray and Joy Calfo purchased a lot there in the mid-1990s, although they didn’t move from Pittsburgh, PA until 2007 when they came to build their retirement home. “We explored Charlottesville as a possible retirement location because we liked its proximity to outdoor activities like

skiing, golfing and hiking,” says Joy Calfo. “We didn’t want a senior community that would primarily be filled with people in their 70s because we felt that younger families with retired people would make a better blend of energies.”

She continues, “We chose Lake Monticello, www.lmoa.org, specifically because it offered a gated community, a beautiful lake with beaches and a marina, a golf course, tennis courts, a dedicated fire/rescue squad, and a number of developing businesses for shopping nearby rather than driving into Charlottesville or Richmond.”

Generally these developments require that at least one person in the family be at least 50 or 55. These are usually comprised of owner-occupied homes or condos and include recreational facilities such as fitness cen-

ters, golf courses, tennis courts, hiking trails and such. Children’s visits may be limited to a certain number of days each year and other childrelated restrictions may pertain to hours of using common facilities.

One example is Four Seasons of Charlottesville, (www.khov4Seasons.com/Charlottesville), located in Ruckersville. “It’s a very nice community with a great clubhouse,” declares Linda Broadbent of Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate III, a REALTOR® in this area for 21 years. “Residents come from different areas and they have formed a close-knit, intellectually active community that does a lot of things together.”

Various floor plans are available for the senior-friendly detached homes and a full-time activities director oversees the Clubhouse with a fitness center, cyber café, billiards room, library, sports TV area, bocce and croquet lawns, tennis courts, in-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;as care-free as you would like.â&#x20AC;? There is a fitness center, indoor therapy pool, business center, lending library and regular social events and outings. Optional extras include at-home health care, housekeeping, laundry service, furniture rental and meals.

Branchlands, (www.Branchlands. com), is another 55+ Charlottesville rental community combining independent living with â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the amenities of assisted living, minus the health care,â&#x20AC;? according to Resident Services Manager Sue Liberman. She adds that most residents are in their 80s and 90s and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave, so she can assist families in arranging

for extra help on a private basis. Residents have most meals provided in the refurbished Manor House, built circa 1860. Other amenities include housekeeping, transportation services, day trips and outings to local theaters and concerts and even out of town, and visits by the bookmobile, lecturers and musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are small enough to be intimate,â&#x20AC;? she concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but large enough to have good community offerings.â&#x20AC;?

Assisted Living Communities offer meals, medication management, assistance with dressing, bathing and other daily needs, transportation services to personal appointments or for

outings. Often an activities director arranges for pastimes ranging from exercise classes, entertainment from outside, bingo or bridge and outings to theater performances, luncheons or shopping excursions. Staff is available 24 hours a day.

Skilled Nursing Communities offer assisted living plus medical care such as daily injections or care for a chronic disease. Some offer temporary accommodations for persons recovering from surgery or an injury.

Meals may be offered in a central dining room or in a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room.

Rooms may be private or shared.

Many have activity directors.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer a ladder of care from independent living to assisted living, nursing care and often memory care. Once residents move into the independent living portion, continuing care allows them to move to a higher level of care. This can be especially valuable when one partner may require temporary or permanent nursing care, or the safety of a memory care facility. The other partner can remain in the independent portion of the community, easily able to visit.

CCRCs in the area include The Colonnades, (www.sunriseseniorliving.com), which offers rental independent and assisted living and nurs-

ing care and Our Lady of Peace, (www.Our-Lady-Of-Peace.com), a non-denominational rental community with residential living or assisted living plans in the same apartment.

Assisted living residents have priority admission to the on-site nursing care center or memory care.

Westminster-Canterbur y, (www.WestminsterCanterbury.org), in Charlottesville is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy-inâ&#x20AC;? CCRC with accommodations from cottages to apartments. It has a Fitness and Aquatic Center with exercise classes and a heated indoor pool and hot tub.

An important feature of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life Careâ&#x20AC;? community is that monthly fees do not increase when a resident must move to assisted living or nursing units and all rooms in those facilities are private.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear there are good choices for seniors in the area and REALTORÂŽ Broadbent believes there will be more built in the future. And where will she go when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for her to retire? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to stay right here!â&#x20AC;? she says with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cultural environment and medical facilities are really strong in Charlottesville. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little big town for all ages with things you usually find in big cities.â&#x20AC;?

Marilyn Pribus and her husband, Glenn, moved from California to Charlottesville to retire, but well ahead of time. They live in a Mixed Generation Neighborhood.

at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $45.00 and are on sale now at at www.virginiafilmfestival.org. Tickets will also be available by phone at 434-924-3376 or in person in the lobby of the U.Va. Drama Building, Monday through Friday from Noon to 5:00 p.m.

The Charlottesville audience will watch the Academy Awards telecast live on Virginia’s largest high definition screen courtesy of WVAW, the Charlottesville affiliate of the ABC Television Network, which broadcasts the Academy Awards presentation.

This marks the third year that Charlottesville’s party has been sanctioned by the Academy. Oscar Night parties last year raised more than $3.5 million in 51 cities. All money raised stays in the local community.

The Academy will provide party guests in Charlottesville the same official program distributed to guests at the Oscar’s presentation at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood.

Charlottesville guests may feel like stars themselves as they walk down the red carpet, dine on fine foods provided by some of the area’s leading restaurants, sample the best of the thriving Virginia wine scene and sit back and enjoy the festivities, which

105 East Main St., Orange

will be hosted by the Newsplex’s own Dan Schutte and Tara Wheeler.

“Oscar Night generates excitement all over the world,” said Virginia Film Festival Director Jody Kielbasa.

“Each year, with the Academy’s help, this event has grown bigger and bigger, and we look forward to another memorable evening, and to raising even more money for the Virginia Film Festival – money which will support the continued growth of the festival itself and our outstanding Outreach and Education program, which brings the magic of the movies to thousands of local community members each year. I think this year’s Academy Award broadcast will be of particular interest to local audiences because it is very likely that several films featured in our 2011 program will be nominated. I continue to be proud of the fact that we are able to give our community members a chance to preview the very best films each Fall.”

Charlottesville’s Oscar Night America is presented by Virginia National Bank and supported by presenting media partner Charlottesville Newsplex and supporting media partners Charlottesville Radio Group and Cville Weekly.

The Importance of Estate Planning ning already built in. The remaining items will be distributed according to law, which may differ from the requests of the decease. The order goes first to a spouse unless there are children from a former marriage. If there is no spouse, then it passes to the children or to the descendants of the children. If there is no spouse or children then it passes to the parents. If the parents are deceased, it then goes to the siblings or descendants of the siblings. If the court still cannot find a relative by this point, then half will go to the closest maternal relative and half to the closest paternal relative.

The courts are not always the fastest at distributing estates, as notices have to be sent and searches must be made. By creating a will, one decides which assets go to whom, how it will be distributed and when. This takes the decision out of the courts and puts it into the individual’s hands.

The will determines who administers the process of distributing assets.

add to it by leaving an uncertain future ahead of them as different family members fight for custody for months or years to come?

Many times problems can also arise within a family as to who gets what as far as personal effects. Having a will can create order to what otherwise can become an unorganized chaos of grab and take before the courts have an opportunity to step in. People are more willing to accept the written words of a will that embodies the final requests of the deceased compared to accounts of “he/she/they said I could have it.” This is particularly important for items such as family heirlooms in which many members of the family are vying to possess it.

Taxes should be considered when planning one’s estate, especially should the estate consist of a large sum of money, as estate taxes can be as high as 55 percent. This amount varies year by year, but the majority of Americans are excused from estate taxes, as there is normally an exemption for the first few million of the estate, but this too varies year by year.

Many websites will try and sell cookie-cutter will templates so you can create your own will, but be wary of these. The ability to talk to an individual to hear what and how you wish to leave your estate can lead to a personalized and more accurate

The problem is that not everything in an estate is measured in dollars. For example, if parents were to die without a will and were survived by young children, the courts will decide who receives guardianship of the children.

The parents could have made their wishes known in their will about who they want to raise their children in the event of their demise. Children will have a hard enough time dealing with the loss of their parents. Why

will than a template could provide.

In addition a will that is drawn up in person with competent legal advice is likely to hold up better in a court of law should it be challenged. If you do seek out legal advice, choose individuals whose primary practice is estate planning, as they will be the most versed on the subject and able to do the work in the shortest amount of time, which is important when you pay by the hour.

By RogeR A. VARneR, II

M

any people believe that estate planning is only for the wealthy. A person who owns real estate, stocks, bonds or personal effects has an estate. Everyone should have a will, as it dictates how and by whom one’s final wishes are carried out when it comes to their estate. Nobody expects to die today or tomorrow, as death is always seen as far off in the future. The thought of one’s own mortality is not something that people like to think about, as if by ignoring it somehow reduces its likelihood. What happens if someone was to die without planning for it?

In Virginia, if someone dies intestate or without a will, a court decides how and to whom assets of the deceased will be distributed. There are some accounts, such as life insurance and 401(k)s, which have a set beneficiary so they have a little bit of plan-

Is a

Reverse Mortgage for

you?

Reverse mortgages are a special type of federally insured home loan that allows seniors to convert the equity in their home into cash.

They can give older Americans greater financial security to supplement social security, meet unexpected medical expenses, make home improvements, and more.

Common MYTHS to a Reverse Mortgage: Lender takes the deed/ title to your home.

This is not true!

You need good credit for a reverse mortgage.

This is not true!

Reverse mortgage borrowers owe more than their home is worth. This is not true!

Title on a reverse mortgage is no different than any other mortgage you’ve ever had – only the homeowners are on the title.

A reverse mortgage is only based on your home’s equity and the borrower’s age.

Income and credit are not qualifying factors.

Reverse mortgages are “non-recourse” loans which means that the borrower can never owe more than the value of the home regardless of loan balance.

There are several ways to receive the proceeds from a reverse mortgage.

• Lump sum – a lump sum of cash at closing.

• Tenure – equal monthly payments for as long as the homeowner lives in the home.

• Term – equal monthly payments for a fixed number of years.

• Line of Credit – draw any amount at any time until the line of credit is exhausted.

• Any combination of those listed above.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss anytime or schedule to meet in my office or in the privacy of your home.

All meetings are absolutely no-obligation and confidential.
