Retire Your Worries at Devonshire

For years, Enma and Adrien Baron divided their time between two residences in New York--an apartment in Manhattan and a house in the Hamptons. While they appreciated the cultural opportunities of city life and the charm of their beach retreat, both places started to feel burdensome.

So, when the Barons started exploring their senior living options, they were looking for a community that promised a vibrant lifestyle, financial stability, and--most importantly--maintenance-free residences.

Spending each winter in sunny Jupiter, Fla., they decided to extend their search there.

"The more we looked, the more Devonshire's name kept coming up," says Enma of the Erickson Senior Living community at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. "And from our first visit, it just felt right!"

She adds, "Now, the Devonshire lifestyle provides us predictability, peace of mind, and the freedom to enjoy life without the burden of responsibilities."

Predictable costs

Enma and Adrien were drawn to Devonshire's monthly service package, which bundles the costs of most utilities; maintenance, including appliance repair and replacement; a meal plan at five on-site restaurants; housekeeping; scheduled transportation; and valet and concierge services into one predictable bill.

"It makes life easier," says Enma. "We know exactly what to expect. Maintenance-free living lifts away a lot of the responsibilities we didn't want anymore. Now, if something needs attention, we just pick up the phone and it is taken care of."

Enma refers to the professional General Services team, which handles all maintenance requests in a timely manner. As a result, community members no longer spend time researching, comparing, and waiting for local services.

"Plus, the restaurants are undergoing renovations and upgrades," says Enma, pointing to the added value of these new vibrant gathering spaces.

Peace of mind

The industry-leading, 90% refundable entrance fee*--the heart of the community's pricing structure--further strengthens the couple's financial stability. The entrance fee, collected as part of the residency process, will be returned to you or your beneficiaries if or when you leave the community.

Devonshire's pricing structure provides peace of mind not only for the Barons but for their daughter as well.

"She enjoys staying here during her visits and emphasizes the peace of mind that our decision has brought her," says Enma.

"What sets Devonshire apart is the sense of comfort our community members feel," says Executive Director Brad Andrus. "They know their future is secure, and that reassurance allows them to fully embrace the friendships, activities, and carefree lifestyle that make this community so special."

World-class lifestyle

Without the stress and hassle of home maintenance, community members have more time to pursue their hobbies--especially since access to world-class amenities is also included in the monthly service package.

Community members enjoy the Stratford Performing Arts Center, which features professional-quality performances; inviting spaces such as a library, cinema, putting green, and croquet court; and an outdoor pool and hot tub.

Because Devonshire is located within the grounds of PGA National, community members can also take advantage of the premier destination's championship golf courses and exceptional dining venues.

Devonshire's activity calendar is filled with group fitness classes, cultural events, thought-provoking lectures, and social gatherings, creating plenty of additional opportunities for community members to connect with neighbors who share similar interests.

"The vast amount of activities to choose from are a great incentive to remain active and engaged," says Enma. "Adrien rides his bike safely along the PGA grounds, goes to exercise classes, plays cards, and attends a book club, lectures, and performances."

She continues, "All these amenities are enhanced by the residents, who we find most welcoming and friendly. We had never anticipated the importance of community and the sociability we've discovered since moving here. It's a bonus!"

A welcoming community

Since their move, Enma and Adrien have discovered an unparalleled lifestyle, one that combines financial stability, resort-style amenities, and engaging social opportunities, enabling them to make the most of their retirement.

"I think people will be pleasantly surprised, as we were, at just how embracing Devonshire is. Everyone extends a hand, welcomes you, and makes sure you are comfortable in your new home," says Enma. "We're grateful for the lifestyle and the peace of mind we've found here."
