Making it happen: The retirement community move-in process
Congratulations! You understand the advantages that a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) can offer and you’ve found somewhere that seems like it would be a great fit. Now you’re wondering what happens next. What are the steps for moving to a retirement community? This article will detail the move-in process.
55-plus or CCRC: What’s your best next move?

If you have been thinking about moving to a community that takes care of the chores so you can enjoy your retirement, real estate experts tell us there has never been a better time to sell
