Most people have no idea what to look for or the questions to ask. The Complete Guide to Assisted Living will help you through all aspects of what can be a highly stressful time in your life. Whether you are looking for long term care for your parents, spouse, or simply yourself, this book will guide you each step of the way. Each chapter includes real life experiences that will resonate with what you may be experiencing. Our speaker is an outstanding resource as you navigate the sea of information, options, and choices you will face. Most importantly, you will receive the confidence of knowing you’ve made a thorough and educated choice for yourself or your loved one.
Janice Martin, Author of The Complete Guide to Assisted Living (4.6 stars on AMAZON), is a consultant of sorts with years of experience working with assisted living facilities AND families in need of help determining "what's best for their situation". She is the recipient of the 2023 Today's Cargiver Freindly Award recognizing outstandin books which have bee designed with the best interest of the caregiver in mind. We highly recommend you plan on attending this meeting to learn more before you find yourself or a loved one that may need to consider an assisted living facility.

To the right is a link to a very recent article in READERS DIGEST that we highly recommend you read before coming to the meeting. It described, in detail, the trials, tribulations, tears, and anguish associated with finding suitable an affordable Long Term Care for yourself or a loved one. This is a very slippery slope that many of us are probably not prepared for financially or emotionally. Long Term Care insurance is extremely expensive if, in fact, you can find an insurer. I doubt that most of us have adequate "nest eggs" to financially support you, or a loved one, for an extended period of time. The costs are, quite frankly, STAGGERING!!!

This is a FIRST FOR THE VILLAGES, a MURDER MYSTERY night You're, no doubt, asking yourself; "What is a 'MURDER MYSTERY" night???" Everyone there, including YOU, gets involved in the schemes concocted by a highly-skilled four professional actor mystery crew. Remember, murder mystery parties are all about fun.
But wait, there's a crucial piece of the puzzle that you might not want to overlook – your costume! Let's unravel the mystery of what to wear to ensure you're dressed to kill (figuratively, of course). Don a high-class costume (if you like) or your normal meeting attire, muster your best murder-solving skills, and join us for a rollicking, interactive, masquerade mystery party. Not all of us have bottomless pockets, and that's okay! Raid your own wardrobe – you might find hidden gems that will be quite appropriate. Thrift stores are a goldmine for vintage and eclectic pieces. Or simply hats, wigs, and unique hairstyles can also transport you to a different era. Don't forget about jewelry, props, makeup, and masks (we will have cheap decorative masks available for purchase). We all want to look fabulous, but comfort matters. Choose outfits that let you breathe, move, and enjoy the party without feeling like you're in a straitjacket. Footwear? I'd opt for comfy shoes you can sleuth in for hours. Play the part as subject and detective as you and your team discover who committed the crime.
By party’s end, the killer will be revealed from your pool of suspects, including your fellow members. This event is guaranteed to be remembered after it's ended but don't forget to bring your snacks, drinks, etc to tide you over whilst you attempt to solve THE MYSTERY. For this unique, exciting experience the cost will be $25.00 per person. Payment options will be forthcoming. The video below will prepare you for this exciting evening. As a footnote, the Murder Mystery Company recently appeared on SHARK TANK and were favored with an investment of from the "SHARKS" of $350,000, yea, you read that right. The SHARKS circled and determined this was an investment that will be successful. At the end of the evening, we know you'll agree.
