"Do you know of any retirement communities in the Boston area that do the hotel-type rental? How would one find out about the possibilities for this type of rental?"
I have received a few questions like this one lately. Since there is not a formal organization of communities offering this type of stay, here are some ideas if it’s something you are interested in.
- If you need to be somewhere specific, map your location on Google Maps
- Click on the “search nearby” link and type in “retirement community”. This should give you the location of the communities closest to your location.
- If that doesn’t generate a good list, contact the Area Agency on Aging in the region you are visiting and ask them for a list of local communities.
- You want to focus on independent living retirement communities or continuing care retirement communities first.
- Once you have narrowed it down, your best point of contact will be the marketing department. Ask them if they have a program for guests to stay in their community. If the answer is yes, you may be on your way to a unique hotel stay!
- If its not their standard practice explain why you are interested. Since you are going to their city anyways, see if you could schedule a time to swing by the community on your trip and introduce yourself to the staff and tour the community. As I have stated earlier, I think this type of arrangement is best for travelers that are frequently going to the same location, checking out the location first and meeting staff is smart for everyone.
Definitely not as easy as calling in to book a hotel! Well, as I said before, this is not an idea for every traveler. However, for the right person and the right community it has the possibility to be a trip you will talk about for a long time!
Interesting idea, I take a regular trip to St. Louis. I may do some research and see if I can do something like this. It would make my evenings alot more interesting.
do you know of any assisted living places in memphis tn.like the one shown on tv.please send imformation to my e-mail johnson.jean73@yahoo.com or here
Erma,
I think you are referring to the community to me and my son stayed at, The Residences at Thomas Circle.
You best bet to locate a similar community would be the area agency on aging in Memphis, see http://www.agingcommission.org/
Unfortunately, urban senior living settings are not that plentiful, good luck!
Regency Park in Vero Beach, Florida is a 5 star independent living community offering short term rental apartments for seasonal stays. All the services and ammenities are included and the location is second to none…
