Considering a Move to Low-Maintenance Living? Here is what to do first.

At some point, many seniors find themselves ready for a change—whether it’s to reduce upkeep, be closer to amenities, or simply enjoy the benefits of a more simplified lifestyle. Selling a single-family home and transitioning into a low-maintenance living situation is a big step, and it’s one that comes with many questions.

To help ease the process, I’ve put together a guide highlighting a range of housing options throughout Midland County that accommodate a variety of needs, from independent living to assisted care and everything in between.

If you're beginning to think about selling your home, it's wise to research and identify potential communities before listing your property. Many senior living facilities have waitlists, and having a plan in place for your next move can make the entire transition smoother and less stressful.

Before making any decisions, you may also want to get a current evaluation of your home's value. Knowing what you can expect from a sale will help guide your budget and timeline as you consider your next steps.

If you're looking for a complimentary home value consultation or would like to discuss your options, I’d be honored to help. Feel free to call me at 989-859-2326 or email teresa@midlandsold.com.

Please note: The information I’ve compiled is based on publicly available resources. For the most accurate and up-to-date details—including pricing, availability, and amenities—please contact each facility directly. This list is intended as a helpful starting point and not an endorsement of any specific community.
