Senior Communities

These communities offer lifestyle activities for seniors with various amenities, so be sure to compare the ones that are right for you.  As I visit these communities, I add them to the list below.  Email me any suggestions.  It can be overwhelming to track the differences, but keep in mind that many of the communities have specialties like memory care, assisted living, etc., and other services that allow you to remain in the community longer.  

Please let the communities know I sent you, so they send me a referral!  This does not cost you anything, but is offered by the different communities to spread the word about their offering.
