When I Checked Into Whatever Independent Living Phoenix Has To Offer I Was Thrilled

By Marcelino Q. Orn


My husband and I have enjoyed fifty happy years of marriage together and were looking forward to spending our retirement years together as well, but we were beginning to notice that our health was not what it once was and we needed a little more assistance than we could get living on our own, so we looked to see what independent living Phoenix could offer. We chose Phoenix because we felt like we would be more comfortable in a warmer climate where icy weather would not create any driving hazards for us when we went out.

Probably the biggest draw that Phoenix had for us was the fact that our daughter and her family lived down there and we could barely wait to be close enough to them so that we could see our beloved grandchildren all the time. At first, we were going to just have our daughter check into the different communities for independent living Phoenix had, but after talking about it, we wanted to have some input over where we were going to live, so we got on our Internet to look for ourselves.

My husband and I are pretty slow when it comes to using the computer, but after a little while we figured out what we were doing and were able to find some wonderful senior communities in the area. While we read about these various senior communities, there was one community that seemed ideal for us and we were excited that we would be able to keep our independence but that we would still have help available when we would need it.

We called our daughter and told her that we would be coming down for a visit within the next week and told her to clear a day in her schedule when she could go with us to check out this new place where we wanted to live. The tour of this community went wonderfully and we were extremely impressed, not only with the housing and other facilities, but with the staff as well and we knew that we would be in good hands.

We had a great visit there and enjoyed ourselves immensely and when it was time to leave, we were all pleased to know that we would be coming back again soon, and this time for good. Once we were home, we set about getting our belongings ready for the move and putting our home up for sale, which was a little bit sad, but we were simply too excited to live in the best senior housing Phoenix had to offer!
