We’re Moving–Eventually

Today we paid the deposit required to move to Trillium Woods, a Continuing Care Retirement Community.

A CCRC is a place where you move in as independent living then stay in the same facility right through hospice care. No, we are not dying. Not in the foreseeable future, anyway.

But, Trillium woods has nearly every facility to meet physical, mental, and social activities all under one roof. That’s something I greatly appreciate living here in Minnesota where winter lasts seven months of the year.

There are two restaurants. There’s a pool, whirlpool, and exercise equipment. There are classrooms where crafts are taught. There is an auditorium where they show movies and have programs including TedX talks. There are game gatherings. And a book club. And church services and Bible study. And a meditation room. And a health care center that includes memory care. And, and, and…

I am hoping to get healthier in every way once I am not restricted to our current apartment for months on end.

But our lease on this apartment is not up until the end of October so we are not actually moving until October 25th.

In the meantime, our new apartment looks like this:

That’s our camping table & chairs sitting in the new living room where we can sit and contemplate the move while enjoying the view of the wildlife refuge out our windows.

As my friend Freddie says, “LIFE IS GOOD!”

TTYL,

Linda

  1. ohmygosh! look at that wall of windows!
    you lucky girl!!!
    you’re going to love it. I just know it.
    and two restaurants.
    i’d be in heaven! LOL

  2. That is the kind of place I would like to eventually go to. Everything in one place. Sure sounds good to me.

  3. Wow, this sounds like quite the move and a wonderful place to land!

    When I was RVing and staying in RV parks during dreary winters, sometimes the only thing that got me out of the rig were the facilities like a pool.

    Good luck with the move!

  4. Wow…sounds like a spa. I think more places should follow their lead. How nice to not have to keep moving. Good choice for sure.

  5. Congratulations on your new home. Now why didn’t this blog show up on my blog reader? How did I miss it? Terry’s mom is in an active community which is very nice. Just about everything is at her fingertips including food, activities and new found friends. Good look to you and enjoy!
