Myth #3: I’m not old enough for community life

One of the most common myths about senior living communities is that they are designed only for older seniors with a more sedentary lifestyle. Did you know you can move in at just 62? Why wait?

When a life changing event happens; an illness, health complication or injury, it’s often times too late. You’ve worked hard to get to this point in life. It’s time to reward yourself.

Having said that, did you know that the 80-and-over population will double between 2015 and 2035 from 12 million to 24 million? Making the move earlier, rather than later, ensures that you can move and start living in your new home and new life based on your desires, not availability.

That is why GreenFields backs that reassurance with a 6-month satisfaction guarantee, but once you experience all that GreenFields has to offer, you will understand just how special our community truly is.
