About this episode

If you think your aging parents can simply decide one day to move into a retirement community — this episode is for you. Mary Powell and Alison sit down with Sarah Barker and Mary Anne Carter from Pennybyrn at Maryfield, one of High Point's most beloved retirement communities, to talk about something most families don't think about until it's too late — the waiting list. Planning ahead is everything, and the earlier you start, the more options your family will have. They also share the fascinating history of Pennybyrn. Sitting on 71 beautiful acres in High Point, Pennybyrn offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing — all on one campus.
