Then Sharon Howell will review how these policies work with Life Care at Emerald Heights.
You'll leave this lunch seminar equipped with helpful information to guide your decision making. If you have questions about your LTC policy, please bring it. Space is limited! Reserve your spot with this online form by Tuesday, April 20th. We will confirm your reservation by e-mail.

It's a small, small world
Life may be bigger here... but it's still a small, small world. I thought I had the ultimate "small world story" when I discovered that the woman who bought our house was actually moving in to Emerald Heights RIGHT across the hall from me! What a small world. Then my friend Gen topped it with an incredible story of her own. Click here to read the details! Visit Marilyn's blog anytime. And if you have a question or comment, please send her an e-mail. She'd love to hear from you! |

| What really moves us | |
Have you ever wondered what makes people move to a retirement community? Do you wonder what might move you? We asked some of our residents to share their stories.
 Gordon & Ellie Lindblom
For Gordon and Ellie Lindblom, the decision to move to Emerald Heights was based on personal experience, personal values and a desire to be near to their children.
Q. What were the deciding factors that led you to move to a retirement community? And to Emerald Heights in particular?
"My aunt lived in a similar community, and we were totally familiar with the concept of life care communities," explains Gordon. "We were particularly interested in living in the area because our kids weren't going to move to Florida any time soon."
"We also had a list of conditions it had to have like being a nonprofit and having residents as voting members on its board of directors," he continues.
"We were on the list for six years, and then our house sold," Gordon recalls. "We had thought we would move to an apartment first and then to Emerald Heights, but we decided moving once was a better option."
Q. Now that you live here, have your expectations been fulfilled?
"This is such a welcoming community, and it has been so easy to fit in," says Ellie. "In fact, I have had to learn to say 'no' so that I am not too busy!"
