On the Fence? Answers to Common Questions About Joining Vista Point

Moving to a retirement community that hasn’t been built yet is a little like going on vacation to a place you’ve never been before. You can read all about it, look at pictures, and even talk to others, but you won’t really know until you go. Yet, you’ve probably traveled to dozens of places and had wonderful experiences. Choosing a Life Plan Community — like Vista Point at Fairview — early gives you plenty of time to plan. You can still weigh your options while knowing you have something booked.

If you’re still undecided, here are answers to some common questions, concerns, and hesitations we’ve heard from future residents.

What Happens If I Change My Mind? (The Beauty of Refundable Deposits)

One of the biggest concerns when selecting something that only exists on paper is the fear of committing to something you can’t yet see or visit. What if something changes in your life? What if you find another option that better suits your needs?

At Vista Point, we offer a highly refundable entrance fee, meaning a significant portion of your funds is protected. If you decide Vista Point isn’t the right fit before you move in, our flexible cancellation policy ensures you won’t be locked into a financial decision you’re not comfortable with. How this benefits you:

  • Your funds remains secure.
  • You retain financial flexibility as your plans evolve.
  • Early reservations lock in today’s pricing with minimal risk.

How Do I Know What the Community Will Actually Look Like? (Seeing the Vision)

Without a physical building to walk through, it’s natural to wonder what your future home will look and feel like. Fairview (where Vista Point is being built) is well-known for serving area seniors for over 130 years, and we’re still doing it today. So, you can count on us. Of course, technology also lets us provide multiple ways to explore our community before it’s built. Here’s how to preview it before you can see it:

  • Virtual tours: You can take an immersive, 360-degree tour and experience what your apartment, common areas, and outdoor spaces will look like.
  • Detailed renderings and blueprints: Our architectural designs offer a realistic preview of Vista Point’s layout, amenities, and aesthetics.
  • Depositor events and site visits: Meet other future residents, hear from developers, and see the progress firsthand.

These tools not only help you visualize your future home but also allow you to choose your ideal floor plan, upgrades, and location within the community with confidence.

What If I’m Not Ready to Move Yet? (Or Why Acting Now Still Makes Sense)

Many people hesitate to make a move because they feel they’re not “ready” yet. But securing your spot before the community is built offers several advantages:

  • Best selection of apartments and views: Early depositors get priority access to premium locations within the community.
  • Lower pricing and locked-in rates: The pricing of our senior living entrance fee may increase as the community nears completion, so reserving now ensures the best financial advantage.
  • Time to plan and prepare: Even if you’re not moving for another year or two, our flexible move-in options allow you to secure your future home now, so you can downsize, plan, and transition at your own pace. Then, after the community is built, you’ll be ready to move in and enjoy our Life Plan Community benefits.

Is There a Downside to Waiting? (The Future is Unwritten)

The future is uncertain, but you could be in great health today and plan to move to a community someday. Or you could wait until you need a community, but who will decide when? Here are three reasons why you may want to make up your mind sooner rather than later:

  • Control your lifestyle: To move to an independent living community, you have to be healthy enough to truly live on your own. Some people wait too long and experience an unexpected health issue. While they expected to move into independent living, they end up only qualifying for assisted living.
  • Control your floor plan: If you want a specific type of residence or floor plan, waiting could mean you miss out on your preferred residence or you may have to be placed on a waitlist until the residence you want becomes available.
  • Control your future: Deciding to move now gives you more control over your future. You can pick the community that best fits your lifestyle and budget. Plus, choosing a community that has access to health services takes the worry and uncertainty off your loved ones.
