In the Comfort Life Spotlight


As a Seniors’ Real Estate Agent in Vancouver, Helen Grant has some surprising advice for many clients: move to a retirement home. It might seem unlikely that a sales agent would steer potential clients away from buying a house through her, but she says, “I want what’s best for the client.” To her mind, a retirement home is where they will live their best life.

“Many singles I deal with often want to move into a condo,” she says. “Instead,” she tells them, “why not reward yourself and think about independent living?” Buying a condo “is not going to make you safer or happier.” A move into a vibrant community of peers, with a full schedule of daily activities and luxurious amenities will, though. For many people in today's real estate market, this lifestyle is more financially accessible than ever before. 

Her advocacy for retirement living is based in part on her firsthand knowledge, having helped her own mother move into Cedar Springs PARC in North Vancouver. Both are happy with the way it’s turned out, “She’s much healthier now and having great meals regularly. The structured exercise and activities provide a much healthier environment than she had, living isolated at home.” She has time to have cocktails with friends, play bridge daily, and every afternoon “she’s going on walks with friends she has met there.” They’re not worried about money because they’re assured that it’s feasible for them. 

For her, this realization is a typical experience. “From a financial standpoint, I always hear people object that it’s too expensive,” she says. “But once they sell their homes, they reassess their assets and are always surprised at just what amount of money they have, including money to invest that will ‘hedge inflation.’”

“You certainly have to look at the rising general inflation rate,” cautions David Field, a Toronto Certified Financial Planner. “Food costs are rising and retirement home rates are also rising.” He's confidently advised people that investing their money and moving to a retirement home is a sound financial choice. Doing the hard math and getting to the bottom line takes personal research, best worked out with the help of an advisor like him. Let's take a quick look, though. 

One modest financial scenario

A 75 year old homeowner living alone in a single-detached home in Toronto is probably sitting on at least a million dollars in home equity alone. Many have workplace pensions or other investments. Even with no other income, they still receive Old Age Security (OAS), $626.49 per month for residents of over 40 years, and Canada Pension Plan (CPP), with an average monthly payout of $679 per month (according to canada.ca).

Investments all come with varying risk, of course, but if you invest in stocks or a fund that pays a modest 4.5 percent annual return (after taxes), that comes to $40,000, or $3,333 per month. The average cost of a Toronto independent living community is $3,747 per month (including meals and housekeeping). At that rate, you can live very happily, without even drawing down on your investment. Compared to many people’s financial profiles, these numbers are modest. Again, we recommend that you talk to a financial professional to look at your own finances in detail. 

There’s never been a better time to move

For those who know that it’s the right time to move, though, there’s never been a better time than now. Mary Gradantini left behind her traditional family home in Oshawa, to find a receptive community and an ideal new place to live at Harmony Hill Retirement Community nearby. She did this three years ago, at the age of 70. 

She “was lucky enough to know a financial advisor” who “steered [her] in the right direction.” He was sympathetic to her frugal ideals, knowing she comes from a generation that’s averse to debt, and his advice was to “invest [her] money and rent.” At first hesitant, she eventually went for it. The rent she pays feels expensive to her but she also can’t believe the price houses are selling for nowadays. “The house I grew up in, close to the Toronto beaches, my dad paid $13,000 for it,” she muses. The average home price in this area is now just under 1.5 million dollars according to zolo.ca

Although someone her age can expect to live several decades more, she feels assured she made the right choice. “My advisor told me, ‘Mary, you can afford to live there. Don't worry about it.’ People need to realize that it’s not as scary as they think it is. A lot of people don’t want to budge because of fear of the unknown.” 

She loves the lifestyle at Harmony Hill, where she belongs to the gardening club and has met a lot of others in the building who share her lifelong appreciation for art. She also loves the in-house exercise classes that are easy to attend. Her favourite activity is Bingo. “It’s become an extended family for me here,” she says. “And my own family is very pleased that I am where I am.”

Like so many seniors we’ve heard from through the years, Mary is surprised and happy that she can afford to live the vibrant lifestyle she has. Alex VanHemert is another septuagenarian who moved into a luxurious retirement community several years ago. He and his wife Rin bought into The Meadows of Aurora, five years ago, when the equity people had in houses was much lower than now. He also has a workplace pension, and in his candid words, “We don’t have a worry in the world.” He adds, “Anyone living in our general area … if you own a house you can afford a place here.”

“Like living on a cruise ship without the seasickness”

Helen Grant tells clients, “Look at this this way: rent [at Cedar Springs PARC] includes five star dining every night, trips to the theatre, going to a spa, and you can even keep your own car. It’s like living on a cruise ship without the seasickness. A move into a condo is into a more transient community. People move in and out, there are lots of younger couples with kids who you may or may not appreciate for their ‘liveliness.’

“So,” she asks, “why not just skip that step?” The best thing you can do for yourself is, “Give it a try. Get in first, then sell the property. Make sure you like it and you know how to adjust to the apartment size.” The logical first step in this is to take a trial stay, always an eye-opener for people. “What they discover is that their room is all they really need, and they’re spending so much time in activities and outings and making new friends all the time that they want to spend as little time as they can in their suites.”

She tells the story of someone she knows who moved into a high quality retirement home in their late 70’s.  She asked them why they moved so early. They told her, “We have everything we need. The woman told me, I’ve cooked meals for over 50 years, I want to live a little. It’s safe here, there’s a call button in our room, someone else does my laundry, I can have the kids over for dinner.”

Alex VanHemert would agree that it’s best to take the steps you need to take, now, while you’re still independent. “In our involvement with seniors in our church, we saw a lot of cases where people waited too long. They get health issues, these things happen. They start looking when they already need it. We didn’t want to make that mistake and we’re glad we did when we did.”
