Aggressively Independent

“Aggressively Independent” is the term we like to use for the residents of our community. They recognize that it is up to them to decide how they want to live, and they will fight very hard to stay out of an “old people’s home”.

When you move into a new Hummel Village home it is unlike any other community. The first thing you will notice is the truly exceptional design and quality. This is a low density, single story community with the homes focused on simplicity of life.

- The Cottages at Hummel Village

The Cottages at Hummel Village is such a program. It appears to be a condominium plan, and as such is compared with other condominiums in the area- but that would be inaccurate.

It also appears to be a retirement community, and as such should be compared with other retirement communities- but that also would be inaccurate.

It may also appear to be an “assisted care” community, where healthcare and illness needs are handled by the company, but this would also be inaccurate.

In reality The Cottages is a little of each of the above, but it is even more. To try to pigeonhole the concept would be to miss what we truly have to offer. And to miss the true nature of this unique community could be costly, both financially and to a person’s welfare.

The Cottages is a reflection of the changes that are occurring as the baby-boomer generation ages. We have an eye to the future, and quite frankly we are terrified by what we see! The incredible number of retiring baby-boomers who will no longer be contributing to the system, but will now be taking from that system, can easily bankrupt both Social Security and Medicare.

Since most people look to these two services to provide the majority of their retirement and healthcare funding, there will be some bleak days ahead for those that do not make alternative plans today. Failure to take action now will be expensive and unpleasant later.

The Cottages offers one of those alternative plans. It is a “condominium” simply to allow people ownership and a way to regulate their payments for years to come. It offers forced savings through the principal reduction and tax benefits. It also offers the hope of appreciation when funds are needed for healthcare needs later on.

But more than that, it offers the programs and technologies necessary to allow a person to remain aggressively independent and in charge of their own lives. Under our programs, the healthcare will be there when needed- but will not be a cost or burden until they are absolutely needed.

Under our programs the technologies, educational materials, and resources will be available to help each person take a proactive approach to how they will deal with the issues of aging, not simply to be placed in a home where these decisions are made for them.
