A message from Scott Neil We’re here to help

I have three areas of responsibility. In my role as Assistant Manager, I help direct all aspects of the resort retirement community, including cottages, independent living, and residential care. As Residential Care Administrator, I oversee this service, which provides assistance to people. As Administrator of Touchmark Home Services, I head up the award-winning Home Health and Home Care services, which are offered to people throughout Central Oregon.

Moving is challenging

Even under the best of circumstances, moving can seem overwhelming. It involves change, and change can be hard.

I’ve been working with families for years as they face transitions. And Touchmark has been helping and supporting people for more than 27 years. Literally, we’ve worked with thousands of people. We’ve seen and heard it all:

• “Why did we wait until Mom had to move?”
• “I want to do more than “pass the time” or golf now that I’m retired.”
• “We want to travel, but we’re worried about leaving our home unattended.”
• “We just can’t keep up with all of the house and yard work.”
• “I wish we had done this sooner.”

We’re here to answer all of your questions and help you handle the many details that go along with making a move.

We’re here to help

We can help you select a comfortable, attractive home and floor plan that accommodates your furnishings and treasures and really works for you. And you’ll have the convenience of others helping you with the housekeeping. You have no idea how many people talk to me about the maintenance after they move in. They love the freedom!

When you live in a community like ours, your home—and world—expand to include all types of areas, friends, and activities. People tell us they really appreciate the dining rooms with delicious meals and companionship. They like getting their mail and stopping to chat with friends and perhaps grabbing a cup of coffee in the café. They love participating in the numerous, life-fulfilling pursuits offered through our national award-winning Life Enrichment/Wellness program. Truly, we exist solely to help people live life to the fullest.

One of the interesting points that people often don’t realize is that many times people become healthier after moving into our community. There are many reasons for this, such as the increased socialization, improved eating habits, greater physical activity and mental stimulation, and available health staff. Touchmark’s national award-winning Fall Reduction & Awareness Program strengthens individuals, improves people’s balance and posture, and reduces falls. That translates to improved quality of life.

Choices

Over the years, we’ve become very acquainted with people’s desires, including the financial arrangements they prefer. As a result, we offer several options, including rental and Life Estate. We can explain the advantages of each of these. And we can talk to you about easy, reliable ways to make your move to Touchmark.

We’ve worked with nearly all of the moving companies and are happy to help with referrals, and we have several downsizing specialists whose only business is helping people prepare for another stage in their lives.

We really are a resource for you and your family. We have the experience. We have the compassion. We have the understanding. Use us.

We provide the stage, the props, and the opportunities. You are the actors, artists, and audience. It’s your life—your opportunity to invest in something special.
