Interview with Ms. Trudy Hart...

         Ms. Trudy Hart is a real estate agent that works with many seniors. She has had this vocation for twenty years. In her experience, each senior looks for different places to live based on individual preference. Those who need assistance usually look for assisted living or nursing homes. On the other hand, more active seniors might look for a senior living facility or a community of senior apartments. Ms. Hart has to consider different things when looking for places to show the senior client. The senior’s personality influences who the seniors want to live among. Some would like to live in a regular community with children, while others prefer seniors only with no children to deal with, or a less congested quieter neighborhood. For other seniors, who might have health needs and mobility problems convenience to transportation, stores, and medical facilities is what I keep in mind when finding a new home for them. It seems that seniors don’t have a trend of moving about to different places. Some seniors as they age move to live with or near other family members, while others continue to live in their present residence, and some move out of state after retirement; it will usually depend on the senior’s health and family situation.
