Ralph and Jean Davison discuss their decision to move to Well Spring's new Greenway Villas.
Transcript:
we reach this decision with a lot of conversation because we were not altogether sure we were ready to move to wellspring but when we learned about the the Greenway villas what they were where they are going to be the kind of demographic that you all are seeking to move into those villas we thought this is exactly what we've been looking for and we hadn't found it anywhere we've been looking all over town for this kind of a home and we hadn't found it and we believe we found that there well spring it didn't really happen that one of us made the decision first we really did struggle back and forth and back and forth and then Ralph said gene I live wherever you live just as long as we end up somewhere together Wellspring offers a lot of services that we're looking forward to we're looking forward to not having to do yard maintenance we're looking forward to having someone come and clean the house we're looking forward to having someone prepare a meal for us we're looking forward to the security we're looking forward to a carefree lifestyle and then you know I think the time will come when we'll want to take advantage of of cultural offerings and son we love the idea that one can take courses at UNCG that's exciting I'm an academic and I love that idea we were attracted to the Greenway villas by what they offered we made our list of what we were looking for in a downsized home it included the wow factor it included high ceilings that included floors and crown molding and the right features the right location and all of that is there in this house that we're looking at in the Greenway villas all the boxes are checked and there's nothing else that we could find in this area that checked all those boxes our family is I think largely supportive of it I mean one of our children may not be at this point but the other three are and certainly I will absolutely believe that once we're in there once we are settled and once they come and see where we're living they will absolutely get it I also think that um part of the issue is the age difference the kids don't understand the concept of wanting to downsize they're building careers and they're collecting things and all that sort of thing and firk for them this whole issue with this whole concept is just you know foreign to them the other part of the thing with the kids is that we don't want them to have to clean this house out we've started doing it and oh my gosh we couldn't do this in ten years cleaning this house out but we don't want them to have to do that we don't want them to have to make health care decisions and where we'll go if and when we need that service we want to take care of all of that in advance and make it easy for them for me the most challenging part of moving is going to be leaving our house we love this house we love this yard but with that comes a lot of inconvenience and a lot of expense frankly we were ready not to have the responsibilities of this large house that we lived in longer than any house we've ever lived in in our lives we will have been here for 23 years and we love it we love the grounds but we just don't want to deal with it anymore well spring is heads above other retirement communities and we know that firsthand having visited a number of them you know in our minds we were gonna move to well spring eventually this was not a question we knew all along that well spring was going to be our destination at some point right on the tip of my tongue is in a sense I'm a control freak you agree oh yeah well we're taking control of our lives and we're taking control of how we hope and expect that the next many years will will play out and we want to do it our way you

we visited physically over 20 we spent nights there we had meals there we toured the health facility we looked at the resident governance the way that the staff and the residents interact and this was really the best place for us the beautiful nuts of the campus itself and the the attention paid to aesthetics throughout the campus turned out to be one of the distinguishing factors there are many places where the individual villas or units or rooms or apartments would be wonderful but when you look at that as a whole in the maintaining of the beauty across the campus that's particularly important one of the things that was important to us also was the dining facilities here it's a it's like a bet that one of the best restaurants in town and it feels sometimes like you're on a cruise and they just pamper you and and get these wonderful meals also I have a food allergy and they they make special food for me or in fact sometimes they just make special food for everybody because of my allergy so it's great it's a great experience here they take very good care of us well spring is not static it's growing it's changing there's a huge population of baby boomers who are going to be coming to CCRCs in the future the eight the population is generally is aging so well spring is growing and we're involved in the growth to the planning for the growth and since my background is in theater I've been part of the other residents who's been asked to contribute we've met with the architects and the theater consultants to try and design a space that would be unique in this country because it would be a space a theater space for performance but the audience would be seniors don't don't wait because people who wait end up not taking advantage of all the resources that are here at well server and I think there is a larger picture being service-oriented and volunteering and and I could see where I might be able to contribute to that when we've made a choice that we're in a place where we're safe we're happy we're contributing and we know that if we need care and further down the road it's here and it's here in a very warm and friendly and supporter environment
