Some people dream about moving away all of their working lives. Perhaps you want to move to a warmer climate or be closer to loved ones. Whatever your motivation for moving when you retire, you’ll want to take some time to find the right place for retirement living.
The Administration on Aging, which is part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, has a lot of resources online geared toward people of retirement age. One of those resources has information about housing for senior citizens, including independent housing and low income housing options.
You may already be familiar with a retirement community in which you’d like to live or at least an area where you’d like to live. If so, look around at more than one place. There are retirement communities in Florida, for example, that range in price of a few hundred dollars a month for a small trailer in a mobile home park to more than a thousand dollars a month for a condo rental.
The right place for retirement living for you may be in your own home. It all depends on what your particular needs and wants are. You may already have everything you need right where you are.
If you will be making a major change in your living arrangements during your retirement, take your time and get all the facts before you commit to anything. Use the free resources at your disposal either online or contact a senior citizens center. They are usually up to date on free resources for seniors.
More than anything, think about what your own personal goals are when making this decision. If you want to sell you house but have grown children that are resistant to the idea, be sympathetic but don’t let that alter your decision. This is your time and your retirement. You should make your own decisions now.
