SENIOR PERSPECTIVES SECOND GENERATION PERSPECTIVES Loving Living ��� There is no reason that life after 65 has to be aggravated, boring, lonely or unhealthy. At Penguin Hall, every resident can host events in the magni���cent carved paneled rooms of the 1929 mansion, relax in the lounge, work out in the spa, make waves in the lap pool, soak in the heated plunge pool, putter in the garden, pursue Yoga in the Wellness Center, learn French at Gordon College or walk Wenham���s sylvan, shaded, protected paths. If you don���t indulge yourself now, who will ��� and when? Loving Living ��� Managing one family is di���cult enough but adding parental obligations is a chore that results in mutual frustration. Should your intervention be necessary, they feel incompetent. Yet, if their home, life or medical requirements go pear shaped, you assume the burden. Does either generation need this stress? At Penguin Hall, your parents will join a vital way of life embedded into their North Shore communities, close to the people and places they love. Living Better ��� At Penguin Hall and, for 23 years at all Wise Living communities, healthcare is received in homes under your primary physician���s direction. By contrast, should you choose a Continuing Care Retirement facility and your health diminishes, you will be moved into their Assisted Living ward with costs rising to $5,000 or more a month. Living Better ��� Your parents��� burdens can become yours if they fall into the Assisted Living trap. Then, you can expect to see their assets melt like ice cubes in July, and yours come next. Medicare.Gov states that ���Home healthcare is usually less expensive, more convenient and just as e���ective as care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.��� Consider Penguin Hall Now ��� Make the decision to make a move now when you are in control, before the wheels start falling o��� the cart. If you wait, odds are someone else will make the decision for you, quickly and un-knowledgeably. Don���t put this pressure on your children. Stay independent by controlling your own ���nances, and destiny. Consider Penguin Hall Now ��� Avoid cross-generational con���ict by helping your parents embrace life in a beautiful home at the heart of the North Shore. A Penguin Hall residence will cost less to own than an equally valued home, with virtually no obligations for external or internal maintenance. Facilitate their peace of mind, and yours! ��������������������� ������������ ������ ��� ��������������������������������� ������ ������������ ������������������ ������ ������������������, ��������� ������������������ ������������ ������ ������ ��������������������� ������������������ ��������������������������������� ������������������ ���������������������������. ��������������������������������� ������������������������������ ��������������� ������������ ��������� ������ ������������sf; ������������ ��������� ��������������������� ������������ ��������� ������������sf, ������������ ��������� ������������������������ ��������� ��������� ���������������; ������������ ������������ ������������sf ��������������������� ������������. ��������������������� ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������������������� ��������������� (���������������������������sf) ������������������ ������ ������������,���������; ��������������� ������������ ������������ (������������ ������������sf) ��������������� ������ ��� ���������,���������; ��������� ��������������������� ������������ ������ ������������sf ������ ��������������� ��� ���������,���������.
