FAQ
Is a retirement residence the same as long term care?
No. Families should verify the care model, regulation, fees, and suitability directly with official sources and the residence.
Should we sell the house before choosing a residence?
Not always. But the real estate timing should be assessed before deposits and deadlines create pressure.
Can you recommend a retirement residence?
I can discuss real estate implications and point you to official research sources, but care suitability must be verified directly.
