Walpole Event to Help Mass Seniors Plan for the Future

Within the next decade, all of the nation’s 74 million baby boomers will be 65 or older and will be facing even more decisions about their wellbeing.

One of the growing options available to seniors is Continuing Care Retirement Communities or CCRC’s, a model often misunderstood. On Wed., March 11, New Pond Village, a Benchmark LifePlan Community and one of approximately 30 CCRC’s in Mass. will demystify this option for seniors when they host Taking the Next Step: A Retirement Living Discussion from 2 – 4 pm.

“Over the years we’ve found that there is a lot of misinformation about what CCRC’s like New Pond can offer,” says Adam Manchester, executive director of New Pond Village, who will be leading the March 11 event. “I’m excited to be able to arm people with the facts they need to make informed decisions as they age. We are a vibrant community of active, social adults desiring an ‘insurance policy’ that allows them to plan their housing and care for years to come while maintaining the independence and lifestyle they’ve always enjoyed.”

Recently named the best senior living community in Norfolk County with a Caring Stars of 2020 award, New Pond Village is located less than seven miles from Gillette Stadium and is set on 19.4 acres located on scenic Willett Pond. On one campus, the community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care and rehabilitation centered on a mission to keep seniors and their family members connected to who and what matters most at every stage of their lives. New Pond Village was uniquely designed for those who want the peace-of-mind of knowing the care they need is at their fingertips, no matter what the future may bring. The community’s Lifecare Advantage program provides a predictable monthly rate for life without having to worry about rising healthcare costs.

Taking the Next Step: A Retirement Living Discussion will answer the most burning questions seniors and their loved ones have and will compare it to other senior living options. Some of the topics discussed will include the importance of socialization throughout every stage of life, the costs of staying in one’s home versus community living and prioritizing planning ahead, given rapidly rising healthcare and housing costs.

The event will take place on Wed., March 11 from 2 – 4 pm at New Pond Village, which is located at 180 Main Street in Walpole. It is complimentary, and refreshments will be served. To RSVP or for more information, call 508.242.3584 or visit www.NewPondVillageEvents.com.
