The retirement home industry faces some stigma, certainly, as many people outright deny wanting to spend time in an "old folks home." They say that, that is, until they take a look around some of the very best retirement homes out there. One of the biggest problems facing both seniors and the retirement home industry is that people are simply not well informed enough about all their options. When people take a closer look, they realize that there is much more to seniors housing than they thought at first.
Let's take a look at some of the very best options in senior housing and why these are well worth knowing about.
Luxury retirement homes are, in fact, awe-inspiring to those who are introduced to them whether this is reluctantly or not. The pages of Comfort Life magazine are full of stories of seniors who "didn't know that places like this existed." Some of the astonishing features you might find in residences like these might include an indoor golf green, onsite fitness center, golf course nearby (or even onsite), onsite pub, fine dining served by a gourmet chef, and a variety of other luxury amenities which are really only limited only by one's imagination.
Affording the best senior care
The fact is that these homes can offer so much because there is a lot of money saved by seniors who live in a 'village' where there is everything they could ever want. There are many seniors who exclaim "I didn't realize I could afford this" until they took a closer look at their finances.
Some of the happy surprises seniors find when they look at what they might be able to afford include:
These savings can add up to thousands of dollars a month and it suddenly occurs to seniors that they can afford more than they first might have thought.
Superb senior care is also available in other options. Here is a look at what to consider as you search for the very best senior care.
Active adult living homes allow you to remain mainly independent while in a community with peers who share similar interests.
Long-term care homes offer extended care, often around-the-clock care whenever it is required for the elderly. Many long-term care retirement homes also offer a focus on Alzheimer's Disease care.
There are also options in terms of ownership, including rental, lease or full ownership.
When thinking of entering a retirement home, you are not restricted to renting a suite in the closest seniors' complex. In fact, taking a closer look at all your options can open you up to a whole new world of choices that you may in fact find hard to resist. Don't dismiss retirement homes because you looked at one (with only one set of options) and didn't like it. You may be cutting yourself off from an excellent, unique experience.

Some of the happy surprises seniors find when they look at what they might be able to afford include:
- how much their house is worth on today's market
- how much money they can save without a car or without the need for transportation
- how costly and inconvenient it is to eat in restaurants as often as many seniors end up doing.
These savings can add up to thousands of dollars a month and it suddenly occurs to seniors that they can afford more than they first might have thought.
