Making a Move...


Anticipating a change in living arrangement is often a part of the retooling parcel. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development offers a comprehensive and easy to digest web page entitled simply “Information for Senior Citizens.” There is content linked to the page for those that wish to remain in the home they currently occupy. One timely topic found there discusses reverse mortgages. Another consideration treated is finding apartments and other more communal options. Topics regarding 55 and older communities and information on facility assessment and care are among many included on the page.

The Department explains, “ Looking for housing options for yourself, an aging parent, relative, or friend? Do some research first to determine what kind of assistance or living arrangement you need; what your health insurance might cover; and what you can afford. Then check here for financial assistance resources and guides for making the right choice.” They even offer a link to “talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor if you have questions about your situation.”
