It’s been well over a year that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our day to day lives. Masks, social distancing, and hand hygiene have become our norms. Some say, over time, it’s gotten pretty challenging for them day in and day out completing tasks like running errands or traveling to routine medical appointments. Others say that they’ve experienced loneliness with entertainment and social interactions lacking.
Many seniors say that they especially feel the extra strain brought about by these challenging times. At the start of the pandemic, their adult children or close friends were at the ready and more than willing to help. But as time wore on they saw that the availability of assistance became more infrequent.
It’s for these and other reasons that some seniors began 2021 by exploring community living options. They are looking for increased support without having to rely heavily on family or friends. Willow Valley Communities, a 55-plus senior living community in Lancaster has seen a recent uptick in interest in learning more about all that the community offers. Manager of Sales, Margie Seagers said that as 2020 came to a close. Many seniors were in a reflective mood, examining the challenges they have had to endure during the pandemic. They look back on where they’ve been, where they are now, and where and how they wanted to spend their future.
“I’ve been hearing from those who have heard about Willow Valley Communities’ concierge services, like personal grocery shopping and safe meal delivery, and they want to know more. They’ve also learned of Willow Valley Communities’ engaging online entertainment programming and 24/7 on-campus service,” Margie continued. “They desire that trusted support from a community with a 35+ year reputation for excellence.”
Many visitors have come to Willow Valley Communities during the COVID-19 pandemic for a safe, socially distant, in-person informational meeting to explore options and learn more. With safety and well-being in mind, visitors are screened with health questions and temperature check at the Cultural Center, just two minutes from the Welcome Center, where an informational meeting can be held with a Willow Valley Communities sales counselor. The Welcome Center has specially adapted, socially distant — and private — meeting areas. Safe and responsible tours are also available for those interested in seeing more.
Willow Valley Communities’ sales counselors are also happy to coordinate an online Zoom meeting at a prospect’s convenience. “And it’s as detailed as an in-person meeting,” Margie notes. Lifecare is also thoroughly explained. Lifecare is Willow Valley Communities’ financially smart contract that promises supportive care, if ever needed later, without an increase to monthly service fees, so residents can predict future expenses.
Willow Valley Communities’ 35+ year reputation for excellence in secure senior living means even more to seniors now, and they want to learn more. “We are happy to have a conversation, in person or online, to give all the information they need to acquire the knowledge they desire to make a decision that is right for them,” Margie said.
