Avery Point Offers Predictable Costs and Vibrant Lifestyle for Seniors

The search for a senior living community that offers both a worry-free lifestyle and predictable costs led Betty and Jim Mason to Avery Point in Short Pump, Va. Unlike their previous home in a 55-plus community, where they were responsible for maintenance and repairs, Avery Point offers a maintenance-free living environment with a monthly service package that covers utilities, maintenance, dining, and access to amenities. This model has provided the Masons with financial predictability and peace of mind, allowing them to enjoy their retirement without the stress of unforeseen expenses.

Erickson Senior Living's fee-for-service model is a key factor in the Masons' satisfaction. Unlike life care models that require upfront payment for services that may never be needed, Erickson's approach allows residents to pay only for the services they currently use. This, combined with the community's responsive General Services department, which quickly addresses maintenance issues, ensures that residents can manage their budgets with confidence.

Beyond the financial benefits, the Masons have embraced the vibrant lifestyle Avery Point offers. With access to fitness classes, social clubs, and community events, they have found new hobbies and friendships. The upcoming opening of the Life Enrichment Center and Preston Woods will further enhance the community's offerings, providing residents with additional dining options and recreational activities.

The peace of mind that comes with Avery Point's 80% refundable entrance fee is another significant advantage for the Masons and their family. Knowing that this fee will be returned to them or their beneficiaries when they leave the community adds an extra layer of financial security. For seniors like the Masons, Avery Point represents not just a place to live, but a way to invest in their future selves, ensuring a retirement filled with freedom, value, and peace of mind.
