For many seniors, moving to a 55+ senior living community to be near adult children and grandchildren is a top priority. For those researching senior living out of state, virtual tours provide a convenient way to explore options before visiting in person.
At The Avenues Crofton Park, an award-winning retirement community in Broomfield, Colorado, we help prospective residents and their families evaluate living options remotely.
While an in-person tour is ideal, it’s not always practical due to travel, health or scheduling constraints. Fortunately, virtual tours and video walk-throughs make it easy to experience a retirement community from anywhere. Here’s how to make the most of your search:
1. Define your priorities early
Before exploring senior living options, outline what matters most—apartment size, amenities, lifestyle, location and safety. Many families searching for senior living in the Denver metro area prioritize a peaceful setting with easy access to outdoor recreation, nearby health services, cultural destinations and family—ideally tucked away from major traffic corridors, without the congestion or safety concerns of more densely populated areas.
2. Use a team approach
Adult children can assist with researching retirement communities online, comparing apartment floor plans and reviewing amenities and services. Meanwhile, parents can connect directly with sales teams to ask questions and get a feel for the community’s environment and communication style. In more intimate communities like The Avenues, prospective residents work one-on-one with our management team throughout the leasing process.
3. Take advantage of virtual tour technology
Virtual tours and video calls allow families to explore a 55+ community together in real time, even from different states. You can view apartment and cottage layouts, common areas and outdoor spaces while asking questions along the way. If a live virtual tour isn’t possible, ask a family member or leasing agent to record videos of different-sized residences, amenities, parking areas and the surrounding neighborhood.
Searching for independent living in Broomfield from out of state doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With today’s technology—and guidance from experienced leasing teams—you can confidently evaluate your options and find a community that’s right for you.
