Hi:
Continuing from my blog of a couple of days ago, Dr Warren Bland suggests a few more factors to consider before you move to a new community.
Health Care:
Consider availability and quality of medical care. Urban centers naturally have the most availability of large or larger hospitals and specialists. Your personal health status should be considered. This can be linked to age, of course, as health, unfortunately, generally deteriorates when we move into our 80’s and 90’s. Consider driving times in the worst possible conditions.
Community Services:
While we may not have used these when actively working, these can become increasingly important. Leisure encompasses education, culture, recreation, work and volunteer opportunities. What we may enjoy as a good break for the first year after retirement is complete un-involvement. However, five years into retirement, you might be reconsidering the idea of joining a group.
More on this tomorrow.
M.
