Maybe you’ve experienced it or maybe it’s happened to a friend: returning from a trip to a flooded basement or to discover the power has been out for weeks. Or maybe you’ve had to cut a trip short because a tree decided to crash at your place during a big storm.
The responsibilities of homeownership can make the idea of an extended trip across the country or around the world give you pause. Making the move to a maintenance-free retirement community like The 501 at Mattison Estate can give you the freedom to go, and do, whenever you’d like while our team keeps an eye on your home.
What Is a Lock-and-Leave Community?
With all the newfound time of no longer having to work 9 to 5 provides, retirement is when many active older adults explore and travel. A lock-and-leave community literally means just that. You lock the door and leave for a day, week or months knowing everything (inside and out) will be looked after while you’re away.
Benefits of Choosing a Lock-and-Leave Community
24/7 on-site security.
The No. 1 concern most people have when they travel is the security of their home. With a lock-and-leave lifestyle, you’ll have peace of mind, knowing our staff and security team will tend to everything while you’re away. So, you’ll never have to worry about what’s happening at your home.
No more maintenance.
Imagine returning from a long trip to everything looking fresh and beautiful. From the lawn to the grounds to your apartment there’s no work for you to do when you get back home. You also won’t have to worry about what’s in the refrigerator or the cabinets, because dinner is ready in one of our dining venues. In fact, your biggest worry will be deciding what to order off the menu.
Take your time.
The only schedule to think about is yours. You won’t have to coordinate people to check in or watch your place or consider cutting a trip short. And extending your travel is as easy as letting our staff know you’ve decided to take some more time away.
An amazing community awaits your return.
With all the thoughtful amenities and helpful services you’ll find at The 501, coming back from your trip may feel more like returning to a resort. You can refresh and relax while you plan your next big adventure or discuss new destinations with your friendly neighbors. Who knows? You might even find some travel companions for your next trip.
