The Village at Brookwood Invites Retirees to 'Get Off the Fence'

July 13, 2010 - PRLog -- BURLINGTON, N.C. (July 13, 2010)  – On Thursday, July 22 at The Library at McIntyre’s Bookstore in Pittsboro and on Thursday, July 29, in Chapel Hill, representatives from The Village at Brookwood (http://www.villageatbrookwood.org), a LifeCare Community located in central North Carolina, will encourage people of retirement age to consider a plan to  “Get Off the Fence” and make retirement living arrangements now. The representatives will make presentations about retirement living options, the benefits of a wellness-oriented lifestyle and the importance of making these decisions now so that others are spared the responsibility of making them on the retiree’s behalf.

“In this economic environment, people are often hesitant about ‘getting off the fence’ and joining a residential retirement community,” said Kent Kirchin, one of The Village’s representatives. “Our ‘road show’ can help dispel any misconceptions people have about retirement living and explain in detail the benefits of a LifeCare Community and how an active, engaging lifestyle can help you live a longer, healthier life without the risk of extraordinary health care costs in the future. Plus, attendees get to see The Village up close through the eyes of our members and hear first-hand why they decided to join and how they have been able to protect their quality of life.”

The Village at Brookwood is a centrally located LifeCare community in Burlington, N.C., and is affiliated with Alamance Regional Medical Center. LifeCare communities offer resident members a full complement of health care services built in to each membership while ensuring access to assisted living, recovery care following surgeries and full health care if ever needed — all in private on-site accommodations. Resident members enjoy the benefit of significant tax deductions as part of their entrance fees and monthly fees.

The “Get Off the Fence” program will be held at 10 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 22, at The Library at McIntrye’s Bookstore, located at 2000 Fearrington Village Center in Pittsboro. On Thursday, July 29, the presentation will be repeated at the Siena Hotel in Chapel Hill, located at 1050 E. Franklin Street. Light refreshments will be served, and attendees will have the opportunity ask questions, gather literature, win a few door prizes and meet people who are already members of The Village.

“It’s important for individuals to make decisions about their retirement living while they have the ability to make those informed decisions in accordance with their own tastes and preferences,” Kirchin said. “The more knowledge they have about financial and lifestyle options, the better prepared they will be to plan the next phase of their lives.”
