Peabody, MA If you re considering a potential move to a continuing care retirement community, chances are, you ve given some thought to the costs associated with such a move.
For Dick and Nancy Richmond, financial considerations were among the factors they took into account before they moved from their home in Winchester, Mass., to Brooksby Village, an Erickson Living managed community in Peabody, Mass, in 2016. Cost isn t all that needs to be considered in choosing a CCRC [continuing care retirement community], but certainly, financial viability is most important, says Dick, a retired software developer and an avid photographer who currently serves on Brooksby s Resident Advisory Council as liaison to the community s Finance Committee.

Mary Anne and Bill Buss moved to Linden Ponds to avoid the expenses of owning and maintaining a house, such as real estate taxes and landscaping. (courtesy photo)
Hingham, MA - When you own a house, there s one thing you can count on for sure: Some-thing will need to be repaired or some cost will increase when you least expect it. If it s not property taxes going up, it s the furnace breaking down. If it s not the exterior that needs to be repainted this year, it s the interior that needs to be updated. That s what Mary Ann Buss and her husband, Bill, experienced when they lived in a house in Cape Cod, Mass. Because of that, they decided to move to Linden Ponds, an Erickson Living managed senior living community in Hingham, Massachusetts, where residents enjoy maintenance-free living and predictable expenses, thanks to the affordable monthly service package.
