This will spare you many an upheavals and make the transition swift and smooth.

Find out what space you have to work with
A retirement community home would not be as spacious as your own home. In all probability you will have to live in a home that is much smaller. So before you step into your new home, measure your living and storage space. This will help you know what will fit where.  If the place cannot hold all your items you need to make a list of the items that can be moved in.  You can also buy a portable storage container to store items that you think are less important.

Make a list of essential items you need
To lead a peaceful retired life, you need to have an uncluttered existence. Don’t burden your next life with pompous furniture. Make a list of items that you barely need to lead life at your own pace within the community. A simple cot, a table, few chairs, a couple of easy chair, a wardrobe will suffice. Instead go for accessories that would help you in old age.

Get Involved in Your Community Immediately
Living in a retired community involves lot of adjustment. It is only then that you can have an enjoyable time out there. Get involved with the community right away. The best way to do this is to participate in activities. So, befriend other community members and join them in community activities. Even if you are not familiar to the activity, you just need to chip in and contribute your part. This will make your stay more meaningful and very enjoyable.
