New Senior Housing in Richmond Hill Georgia

Lets face it, we all get older, as do our parents, and the need for Senior Housing can become an important focus of family conversations.
Senior Housing

Senior Housing – Ashleigh Place

I’ve experienced this over the past few years. My mother cares for her 97 year old mother and I have attempted for three years to relocate an aging father closer to us.  I am so glad to tell you that our Richmond Hill Community has been blessed with a newly constructed and completed in October, 2015, 55 and Older Senior Living Apartment Complex called Ashleigh Place.

Ashleigh Place has truly been a personal blessing and an answered prayer for me and my family.  We recently relocated my father to Ashleigh Place.  They offer handicap units, upper and lower units with elevators, and one and two bedroom units.  Activities are always available, a new telemedicine joint program with Armstrong State University’s Nursing Program as well as food pantry and other specialties for seniors.

I was really worried about the transition for my father. He was used to living on a quiet farm in the “middle of nowhere” with two dogs and no neighbors. Now he would be living in an apartment complex with neighbors above and on both sides of him with their door within a few feet of his unit, but I am here to tell you the trade offs have been positive.  He is closer to family, gets more help and attention as he grows older, still lives independently but has family close by when needed.  It has been wonderful.  So if you are in search of similar needs, feel free to call or email me.

We also offer new construction home plans with two masters for families that need to transition family members into the same household.  Two master suites can be constructed with one offering handicap showers, wider doors, and all the needs to make senior living easier.

If you would like more information on Ashleigh Place Senior Living Apartments, feel free to call me. I would be glad to refer you to the appropriate person and discuss my experiences.  There is an application process involved and it is filling up quickly, but just stay patient with the paperwork.  Each applicant has to submit the same documentation. Its a process that is worth it in the end.

Ashleigh Place is located at 11 Plantation Way in Richmond Hill, GA at the entrance to Richmond Hill Plantation.

All the best, Melanie

Selling Your Home During the Holidays

Believe it or not the Holidays are not a horrible time to sell your home.

Life happens – even in the middle of a busy family season! January is a popular time for relocations. Company’s often transfer people to start new jobs or positions the first of the new year. Children are on break in December and free to travel to help their parent’s house hunt.

And this time of year I find myself talking to southern living enthusiasts tired of the cold weather and ready for a warmer winter. Recently I spoke with a resident of New Jersey who has been hunting online for a home in the Savannah / Richmond Hill area. I’m always happy to help our friends that are “over the ice and snow” find the perfect home here in the Coastal Empire.

relocating during the holidays

Buyers during this time of year:

  • tend to have more time to look for houses
  • are often serious and highly motivated

Sellers during this time of year:

  • have fewer houses to compete with
  • must be motivated to sell, the holidays are stressful enough

Tips for selling your home during the Holidays

Decorate your home but be careful not to overdo it. Homes often look their best during the holidays but it is important not to add clutter. Use smaller decorations and simple color schemes. Less is more.

Curb appeal is important this time of year. When the leaves fall and expose more of the home it’s a good idea to do a little fall cleaning when you’re hanging the wreath.

Flameless battery operated candles will create a warm and homey feel. Placed around the home they offer an extra glow that is both safe and welcoming. If you have a fireplace, these candles displayed in the hearth can make a beautiful impression.

Use scents sparingly, especially before a viewing. What smells great to you may not to another and allergies can also be a concern.

Using video to share your home is a great way to capture interest from those house hunters with limited time during the holidays or living out of state and hunting online. This is where I come in.  I have a professional photography session  for each of my listings and use the images to create a video to showcase your home.

Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, or maybe both, I can help lift the weight from your shoulders and make sure you have enough time to enjoy the season.

Please call or email me today for more information or questions about selling your home during the holidays.
