DON’T WAIT — Daryl L. Martin, Executive Director Research studies show that the satisfaction of living in a senior living community remains extremely high. Last year 89.3% of 57,900 respondents living in 265 different senior living communities in 36 different states expressed that their overall satisfaction experience was good or
excellent. That rate of approval makes a strong statement about the experience of living in a community like Swiss Village. Often new residents to Swiss Village express that they wished that they had moved in earlier. Over and over I hear them say, “Why didn’t I make this move years ago?” Deciding to move to a retirement community is never an easy decision. But waiting can be costly. Loss of spouse, declining health and growing isolation related to one’s shrinking world
can leave one vulnerable. Studies show that actively engaged mature adults achieve the greatest fulfillment and quality of life when they still have the ability to make new friends, learn new skills and pursue creative hobbies and activities. Swiss Village provides those opportunities along with a supportive community with a full range of optional life activities. Don’t wait and later regret. Making your decision before you have need will serve you well!
