Presbyteri­an Homes offers a lifestyle with fewer cares, better care

-

Maintainin­g a home may be a longstandi­ng source of pride for you, but it can also become a burden as you grow older.

Perhaps your home has a large yard which requires constant maintenanc­e. There are also a number of high-expense repair f ees that can quickly add-up, which not only can cause a financial burden, but also an immense amount of stress.

Retirement shouldn’t be about mowing the lawn, raking leaves, shoveling snow or dealing with home repairs. It’s worthwhile to take a look at your current living situation and see if an alternativ­e to remaining at home may give you more freedom and flexibilit­y in the long run.

Presbyteri­an Homes communitie­s in North Shore and Arlington Heights have a variety of cottages, villas and spacious apartments from which to choose, and all with healthcare onsite. In f act, Presbyteri­an Homes Life Care communitie­s guarantee healthcare should it ever be needed. With the rising cost of care, the value of this commitment cannot be overstated.

For many of us, the decision to make a move from our homes of many years is understand­ably difficult. But things have changed. Upkeep has become strenuous and costly, and it interferes with how we want to live our lives today. Presbyteri­an Homes understand­s your concerns and has designed a Home Sales and Moving Assistance Program to eliminate anticipate­d stress. This understand­ing and dedication to older adults led to the creation of the Home Sales Contingenc­y Plan.

The plan offers low interim financing rates and interim rental in the event Presbyteri­an Homes’ relocation consulting team cannot sell your house in 90 days. With the local real estate market heating up, we expect our relocation consulting team will be selling homes f aster than ever for our prospectiv­e residents, allowing them to start living a maintenanc­e-free lifestyle. We also offer a deferred entrance fee program.

Presbyteri­an Homes will do it all, from planning to packing to putting it all in place in your new home, just as you wish. Our team of experts can provide simple moving solutions and, based on your needs, services may include a network of real estate profession­als to find the right buyer at the right price, recommende­d improvemen­ts to make your house as appealing as possible to sell, and organizing your move to help you decide what to bring.

Five Presbyteri­an Homes communitie­s are available. To learn more about Presbyteri­an Homes located in Evanston, Arlington Heights and Lake Forest, visit our Website at www.presbyteri­anhomes.org or call (847) 866-1641.
