What are the advantages to accepting the Residential Reservation Agreement?
The Reservation Agreement allows a prospective resident to reserve a type of residence apartment or home while waiting for that type to become available, or while a current home is being sold.

When you are settled in a house you love, it is difficult to make a big move to a retirement community. However, your good health is your best assurance for entrance. If you wait until you need assistance, it may be too late to quality for residency. Making a Reservation Agreement well before you think you need to move is strongly recommended.
