Seniors housing Options - What Is a Life Lease - 01/30/10 11:58 PM
Life Lease
A growing housing option for seniors in Ontario is a unit in a life lease building. A few years back I had the opportunity to see first hand what a life lease was all about.
I initially became involved with the process here in Uxbridge as a member of a group who were looking into alternative housing solutions for seniors in Uxbridge. I continued to work with members of the group who felt it could be done as a development rather than the more conventional way at the time (a church or organization sponsored project) which often takes years to … (10 comments)

Getting Help When You Need It - 01/27/10 04:24 PM
Getting Help When You Need It
For seniors getting the right help in a timely manner is sometimes very difficult. As a primary caregiver for an elderly person finding the right sources of information and assistance can be a large undertaking.
As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist I recognize the desire of other family members to be involved in the smooth transition from owning your own home into accommodations that meet your current needs. Giving up a home that holds a lifetime of memories is often difficult and working with a Seniors Real Estate Specialist who understands helps to make that transition easier.
