In our service we offer a lifetime agreement which provides gracious and healthy retirement living and priority transfer to the nursing home when needed. Consider your retirement possibilities in our Bethlen Retirement Center. Today people are living longer, they are healthier, they are eating better, taking better care of themselves and they are enjoying a fuller more active retirement. Ideas about retirement housing have changed and in most cases for the better, and it is about time! One thing the Golden Agers don’t want is the day-in day-out responsibility of home ownership. One consideration can be an apartment which probably gives more time for personal freedom but affords nothing in the way of future security or safety features. Condominiums are acceptable alternatives for today, but what of tomorrow, if needs will be changed? A third alternative for retirement is ours. Many charitable and profit organizations are offering this kind of living today. Many still are not more than an “old folks home”. Many new and desirable residential retirement housing are making an appearance throughout the United States. Slowly people are discovering the value economically and security-wise of these retirement types of living because they are designed to meet both present and future needs of the third age citizens.
