It also includes our program that allows you to customize your living accommodations and transfer to the appropriate level of care—such as licensed in-home healthcare or on-campus assisted living care.

At a community such as Ardenwoods, residents pay for services when needed. Your residency counselor will make sure you have all the information you need to make smart decisions about the sale of your home. Ardenwoods’ residency counselor will work with you and your agent throughout the entire process. Your move-in coordinator will recommend that at least two agents visit with you before you make a listing decision. Each agent will complete a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for your home, a free analysis that gives you an understanding of the current real estate market and how it impacts the sale of your home. Multiple opinions will help you make the smartest decision possible. Once you’ve chosen an agent to list your home, your move-in coordinator will work with you and your agent to establish a marketing strategy to list your home in the best possible manner. The move-in coordinator also recommends movers, helps evaluate estimates you receive for moving, and reviews the final invoice to ensure you receive the services at a fair price.
You’ve probably heard the term CCRC, but what does it mean? Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) provide residential living for today’s independent, active seniors and most offer some type of on-site health care for the future. What exactly is provided, along with the terms and conditions for accessing care, differ depending on the type of community.
Organizing and simplifying your household is a great way to focus on life’s most important aspects. That is why experts who specialize in organizing and eliminating clutter are in demand. Your move-in coordinator can provide recommendations for a professional organizer/planner who can provide hands-on assistance in preparing for the transition process, overseeing the details on moving day, and getting settled into your new home. Items an organizer/planner can help you with include space planning, packing, move coordination, document management, unpacking and arranging, effective storage, and decorating.
We promote a personal, attentive, secure approach to helping your family member become integrated into their new home and life at Ardenwoods. As needed, every Ardenwoods resident has the opportunity to participate in and schedule how services are structured and delivered.
