 Presbyterian Manor of Arkansas City is one of the Presbyterian Manor communities offering a special program designed to give senior adults the opportunity to sample retirement community living by enjoying a free, relaxing short-term stay.
Dubbed the Staycation, this program allows you to experience retirement living firsthand without having to make a commitment of signing an application or moving in. Seven locations in the Presbyterian Manors system of not-for-profit communities have adopted the program: Arkansas City, Emporia, Fort Scott, Lawrence, Newton, Parsons and Wichita.
“Moving into a retirement community is a serious decision,” said William Ward, president and CEO of Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America. “We understand people are making an investment when they move in, and want them to have the confidence in their decision. We also want to help people understand they’re not giving up their freedom, but enhancing it.”
Prospects can schedule one, two or three days and nights at the Presbyterian Manor of Arkansas City to get a firsthand perspective. Staycation guests experience the dining, activities, social gatherings and pleasure of maintenance-free retirement living in a furnished guest apartment.
Presbyterian Manors is aware that many individuals have formed misperceptions about retirement communities and what they have to offer. “Residents express many positive advantages resulting from their decision to make Presbyterian Manor their home,” said Abby Dickey, director of marketing at the Manor.
These advantages, she explained, range from giving up mowing the lawn to having someone else cook the meals. “Residents see the benefits of giving up everyday chores to be able to do more of the things they enjoy such as volunteering in the community, traveling, visiting with family and friends, and pursuing hobbies and other interests.”
By participating in the no-cost, no-obligation opportunity to stay at Presbyterian Manor of Arkansas City, Dickey said Presbyterian Manor hopes people will form a different perspective on retirement community living. “We think this will be a powerful way to replace any misperceptions about retirement communities by giving them a firsthand experience,” she said.
