Five tips to help you find a Hamilton seniors’ apartment
1. Location, location, location. Think about what area of the city you want to live in. Where will you have access to the conveniences that matter to you? Ideally, you want as much as possible within walking distance.
2. Talk to residents. Ask for references from the owner, of course, but if you can meet people on your own. Consult our reviews of Hamilton senior housing.
3. Visit buildings more than once—and try different times of the day. A place might make a strong first impression but you can’t always rely on that. Visit buildings during different times of the day or week and you’ll see things in a different light.
4. Take one of your kids or someone else you trust. Others see things differently.
5. Look for places that are new, recently updated, or have renovation plans. If the seniors’ building isn’t accessibly designed to your liking, keep looking. Can you see yourself living there ten years from now? Think about your own and your family’s medical history. Will it still be suitable for you five years from now?
