MoneyGauge helps potential residents decide if The Glebe is a good financial fit

The decision to move to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Daleville, VA. is a big one. It involves answering a number of questions, including: Is this community a good fit? What services and amenities are available? What kind of health care services are available? Does the community allow pets?

Of even more importance to most people considering the move to a CCRC is this issue: cost. Can I afford to live there? The answer also includes answering a number of very important questions: What is my home worth? Will I be able to sell my home? Do I have sufficient monthly income to support the monthly fees?

If you are interested in exploring The Glebe as your next home, we are pleased to provide a simple online evaluation tool, called MoneyGauge, to help you determine if our community is a good financial fit for you. The tool does not require personal information, and the questions are general. For instance, what is your approximate retirement savings within a range of $50,000?

You’ll also receive your results immediately, along with a preliminary look at what kind of housing, if any, you can afford. Keep in mind: The tool is a guide, not a guarantee of financial approval.

Quick and Easy

The Glebe is one of two LifeSpire communities utilizing the calculator on our website. The other is The Chesapeake in Newport News.

Brad Breeding, President and Founder of myLifeSite™, said the company found that many potential senior living residents wanted to know early in their research if their finances would align with the costs of a life plan community. myLifeSite developed the tool based on that need.

“It doesn’t make sense to invest a lot of time and effort into other aspects of the decision to ultimately find out that it isn’t the best fit financially,” Breeding said. “The benefit of using MoneyGauge is that in about two minutes someone can get a preliminary assessment to help gauge affordability, and they can do this on their own time right there on the retirement community’s website.”   

Dreama Slone, The Glebe’s Marketing Director, said she is excited to be able to offer this tool.

“MoneyGauge is quick and easy to use,” Slone said. “We think it’s a great tool to give prospective residents an early look at the living options they might be able to afford at The Glebe.”
