The Truth about 55+ Senior Living Options

During this seminar we explore the benefits offered by senior living communities, as well as the costs and associated services. In addition, we take a deep dive into how to fully investigate whether a senior community is right for you or someone you care about. Learn the differences between independent, assisted, memory care, and long-term care options, and get the truth about what some communities don’t want you to know.

The Truth about Downsizing & Simplifying

People say the thought of moving out of a home they have lived in for decades is often overwhelming. They allow fear and anxiety about the simplifying or downsizing process to cause them to stay in a place or in a situation that no longer serves their needs.

When do you know it is time to move or simplify? If the thought of simplifying or moving seems overwhelming, this is the session for you.

Learn how others just like you have overcome their fears and made the decision to simplify or downsize as part of their successful aging journey.

Our panel shared their personal experiences, provided helpful insights and more at this month’s 90-minute panel event.

The Truth about Aging in the Best Place

What does aging in place really mean? And perhaps more importantly, what is the “best” place 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years from now. Learn how to determine when your current place may no longer be the “best” place.

If you choose to ‘stay put’ in your current home as opposed to moving to a retirement community, you have options – lots of them! The challenge is knowing which options are right for you.

Our experts will explain the options you may need to successfully age in your home as well as discuss the truth about staying put or moving on so you are the one who is in control of the decision. When you make the decision for yourself, either in advance or in the moment, you control your own destiny. If left for others to decide on your behalf, you may not like the outcome.

From start to end they had us covered

From start to end – the Junell Group has had me (and more importantly, my mother and father) covered. We began this process with the expectation of the sale of their existing home of 27 years, and subsequently what & where to buy.  After a bit of time and slight consternation – many solutions and conclusions were reached, that only Annette and her team could have helped us with. She has advised and organized so many elements of this process I almost don’t know where to begin; the research and looking at where next to move, the financials of it all, what to do with all the “stuff” left in the old house that can’t be moved to the new, the emotional aspects and experts to reach out to, even some of the medical resources – these are all things at her fingertips. We successfully sold and moved and we couldn’t have done it without Annette, Alexa, and the entire Junell Group. Invaluable, unexplainable….will never be able to express my family’s complete gratitude for everything the Junell Group has done for us.
