Joining the waitlist at Friendship Village Tempe? Smart move! It’s like getting the inside scoop on your next great adventure – and the best part is, the fun doesn’t have to wait until move-in day.
While your future home is being prepared, here are some ways to stay connected, get inspired and keep the momentum going:
1. Join the fun at community events.
Just because you’re waiting doesn’t mean you’re on the sidelines. Waitlist members are invited to community events where you can meet future neighbors, enjoy chef-prepared meals, and experience what life here is all about. It’s a great way to feel at home — before you even move in.
2. Explore the neighborhood.
Get to know the area around Friendship Village Tempe. From biking or hiking at local scenic parks and seeing performing arts showcases to exploring local restaurants and cozy cafes, your future lifestyle is already waiting to be discovered. Picture yourself strolling through the neighborhood or grabbing lunch with a new friend.
3. Start downsizing. (Yes, it can be fun!)
Think of downsizing as a fresh start, not a chore. Sort through your belongings and hold onto the things that bring you joy, whether it’s a vintage chair, a favorite book or a photo that makes you smile. Our downsizing blog post is full of helpful tips to make the process smooth and even a little fun.
4. Get inspired with decorating ideas
Imagine your new space and how you’d like it to feel. Cozy? Minimal? Colorful and eclectic? This is your chance to plan a living space that reflects who you are now with room to grow into your new lifestyle. Start gathering ideas and sketching out what matters most to you in your future home.
5. Look into financial benefits.
Did you know there may be tax advantages to moving into a senior living community? From deductions on entrance fees to potential savings on healthcare costs, it’s worth talking with your tax advisor to explore the possibilities.
