4 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a 55 Plus Community

Transitioning to a 55 Plus Community can be overwhelming with all the options and new terminology that is prevalent in the senior living industry.

There is a long list of questions that will cross your mind before, during, and even after your tour. The team at Cypress Cove 55 Plus Community put together a list of the top 4 questions that you should include on your next tour. You can find a detailed form with a long list of questions and spaces to write down the answers on our website, here.

  1. Is it pet-friendly?

    • If you have a pet, you will want to make sure they allow you to bring your dog or cat with you. For example, Cypress Cove, a 55 Plus Community in Fort Myers, Florida offers pet-friendly apartment homes and private villas.
  2. Are the apartments furnished or unfurnished?

    • This will determine what 55 Plus Communities in Fort Myers fits your current needs. Some families will feel adamant about bringing their own furniture, while others are looking to downsize. There is also the logistics of moving the furniture, this might cause some individuals to want the apartments to be furnished so it is one less thing for them to worry about.
  3. What is the community fee (entrance fee) and what are the monthly fees for varying levels of care?

    • It is important to know all the different financial aspects so you and your family can properly budget. There are a variety of financial questions you will want to eventually address. If you want to get into all of the financial details on your next tour, the full list of questions can be found here.
  4. What are the dining and activity options?

    • This question will allow you to preview the menu and see which activities you are excited about. Some communities have limited activity options. While 55 Plus Communities like Cypress Cove, have a wide variety of engaging items to keep you active and social. If you are interested to see if your favorite hobby is available at Cypress Creek, click here. Do not worry, if it is not on that list, we may be able to get a group started for that specific interest.

There are a lot of factors that will determine where you end up calling home. If you have any questions that arise during your research process, please give us a call. At Cypress Cove, we are happy to help answer your questions and provide you with all the information you need to feel confident about your decision.
