Senior citizens often ask my team which is the best living option for them? A house, a condo or a townhome. There are so many advantages and disadvantages. Low maintenance home, low maintenance yard, safety in numbers, like-minded senior citizen neighbors, etc. It just depends what is best for the individual and their situation. If some seniors need help with meals, housecleaning and transportation, none of these options would be good. A retirement community would be the best option and we have personal relationships with several local retirement communities. If finding a home where you don’t have to worry about the outdoor maintenance or HOA fees, condos may be the most home-like option. Take a look at this article by Sandy Dodge<\/a> to learn more. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions. At Senior Nation, we love to serve our seniors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
