Choosing the right senior living community is an important decision, and taking a tour is one of the best ways to see if a community is the right fit. A great tour not only highlights the amenities, services, and lifestyle but also provides an opportunity to meet future neighbors and experience the welcoming atmosphere firsthand.
At True Connection Communities, we go beyond the standard tour by offering fun, themed events, happy hours, and engaging activities so that potential residents can immerse themselves in the vibrant community lifestyle. Whether you’re considering a move for yourself or a loved one, here are some key questions to ask when touring a retirement living community—and how to make the most of the experience.
1. What Types of Residences and Floor Plans Are Available?
Your new home should fit both your lifestyle and preferences. Ask:
- Are there independent living apartments, cottages, or villas?
- What floor plans are available, and what features do they include?
- Are there balconies, patios, or scenic views?
- Can I personalize my space with my own furniture and décor?
At True Connection Communities, we offer spacious, thoughtfully designed residences that promote comfort, convenience, and independence.
2. What Amenities and Services Are Included?
To enjoy retirement living, it’s important to know what services and amenities are part of the experience. Be sure to ask:
- Are chef-prepared meals included, and what dining options are available?
- What housekeeping and maintenance services are provided?
- Are there fitness centers, pools, walking paths, or wellness programs?
- Does the community have transportation services for shopping, appointments, and outings?
At True Connection Communities, we offer luxury-style amenities, including restaurant-style dining, wellness centers, entertainment lounges, and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces to ensure residents enjoy a stress-free, vibrant lifestyle.
3. What Social and Recreational Activities Are Offered?
One of the biggest benefits of moving to a senior living community is the chance to stay socially and physically active. Ask about:
- What types of daily activities, clubs, and events are available?
- Are there fitness classes, art workshops, game nights, and social hours?
- Does the community offer special events, holiday celebrations, or group outings?
At True Connection Communities, we prioritize an engaging lifestyle by hosting fun, themed events, happy hours, and community-wide celebrations—ensuring new residents feel welcome and connected from day one.
4. Can I Meet Current Residents?
A great way to get a feel for the community is by talking with people who already live there. Ask if you can:
- Attend a resident-led club or activity during your tour
- Join a community happy hour or coffee social
- Talk to residents about their experiences and favorite aspects of the community
Many True Connection Communities encourage prospective residents to join in on social events, offering a more authentic and interactive touring experience.
5. What Does the Move-In Process Look Like?
Transitioning to a new home should be seamless and stress-free. Ask:
- What support is available for downsizing and moving?
- Are there welcome events or programs for new residents?
- How does the community help residents adjust and get involved?
At True Connection Communities, we make the transition fun and welcoming, offering new resident socials, group activities, and personal introductions to ensure every new resident feels at home.
6. What Are the Costs and Lease Options?
Understanding pricing and financial flexibility is essential. Ask:
- What is included in the monthly fee, and are there additional costs?
- Is the lease month-to-month or long-term?
- Are there any move-in specials, incentives, or referral programs?
At True Connection Communities, we offer transparent pricing and flexible leasing options, making it easy to enjoy resort-style living without long-term commitments.
