Your Perfect Retirement Living

Your Perfect Retirement Living

Designed to help people through the maze of preconception, others' opinions and determined sales pitches to find the best retirement home for you and or your spouse, this course will save your thousands of dollars and years of heartache for making a wrong decision. 

The course teaches the recent history of retirement living as an introduction to what is available and how it got there. 

Next is an exercise that will help you get past your own preconceived notions and discover the essence of what you really want and need. People often settle on an option without really being clear what this will mean to their lifestyle.  This section called "Your Perfect Day" is the foundation of what you will do in the rest of the course and your entire life.  Do not skip it.  Have fun while taking it seriously.

Then you will learn about the options from staying home, to 55+ communities to traveling the country or world and others. After you decide on an option you will learn how to differentiate within those options, such as how to investigate dining in independent living or how to avoid losing money in a CCRC. This will help you avoid common pitfalls.

You will learn  to navigate through sales pitches and the opinions of loved ones and concerned professionals.  Your instructor Margo Arrowsmith, LCSW has years of experience visiting all of the options and can guide you to see important distinctions that you would otherwise miss.

At the end of the course will be additional information such as how to live in intergenerational households and the importance of boundaries for happiness families. 

After you finish the basic course there will be a community where you can attend office hours or ask questions on the forum to be answered by the instructor and others in the course.  This course will be there for you as long as you need it.
