Beyond Affordability: Other Key Factors in Choosing Your Retirement Location
While affordability is a critical factor when choosing a retirement location, it’s not the only factor that needs to be considered. As you plan your retirement, it’s essential to think about other elements that will impact your quality of life. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:
Healthcare Quality and Access
Access to high-quality healthcare, including long-term care services, is crucial as you age. The cost of care in a particular location can also significantly impact your retirement budget. That’s one reason many people choose to move to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) like Buena Vida Estates. As the only CCRC in Brevard County, Florida, we provide a full continuum of care services, ensuring that you have the support you need if your healthcare needs change.
Tax Implications
Moving to another state can affect your tax bill, including property, sales, and income taxes. These differences can impact your retirement budget. Additionally, for those choosing a CCRC, there may be tax deductions available for your entry fee and monthly service fee. It’s essential to consult with a tax professional to understand how your senior living decisions and retirement location will impact your taxes.
A Strong Community
A strong sense of community is invaluable in retirement. At Buena Vida Estates, we pride ourselves on fostering a supportive, welcoming environment where residents can enjoy socialization, friendship, and peace of mind. Whether it’s participating in our many activities or simply enjoying the company of neighbors, our community offers a rich and fulfilling retirement experience.
