A little more CCRC

susandennisSomeone asked me specifically about Judson Park which is south of Seattle. I remembered seeing about it but not the detail, so this morning I looked at their website.
One of the things I did NOT want was non-profit. I'm not at all sure now that was even a valid consideration. Timber Ridge is part of a very for profit group of homes across the country. Judson Park is part of a non profit of group of homes across the country. As I look now, it seems a very viable option.
If you are at all interested in CCRC's I encourage you to read the stuff at their website, they articulate the whole thing better than anyone else I've seen.
Among many other salient points, they also say, if you have owned a home, you can usually afford to move to a CCRC. As you age, living on your own, maintaining a home becomes a far more expensive option but the costs are creeping costs. I did not even have a mortgage and still, the cost of living day to day here is on par with what it was when I was in my condo and I have far more amenities here.
Ok, I think that's it. All my thoughts. Now back to your regular programming.
