Laying the Foundati<strong>on</strong>s for the Future<br />
Ken & Perry Stevens, Future Residents of <strong>Elim</strong> <strong>Park</strong>’s Riverbend Neighborhood<br />
Ken and Perry Stevens are c<strong>on</strong>tent in their large, single family<br />
home <strong>on</strong> three acres of land, but they are also excited to be<br />
selecting carpets and color palettes for their new home in<br />
Riverbend, the anticipated seventh neighborhood of apartment<br />
homes at <strong>Elim</strong> <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
“We’re hoping for a third floor apartment with a river view,” says<br />
Perry. Her wish will most likely come true. As charter members of<br />
Riverbend, the Stevens will enjoy priority opti<strong>on</strong>s such as<br />
choosing the locati<strong>on</strong> of their apartment, a significant savings<br />
<strong>on</strong> their entrance fees, $36,000 in healthcare benefits and<br />
underground parking.<br />
Ken, owner of Soil Science & Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Services, Inc., and<br />
Perry, a former nurse supervisor, understand the importance of<br />
strategic planning. Although not ready to move yet, the active<br />
Cheshire couple has put a lot of thought into their retirement<br />
plans. The Riverbend project proved a perfect combinati<strong>on</strong>:<br />
Time to plan and security for their future.<br />

“It just makes sense,” explained<br />
Perry, an <strong>Elim</strong> <strong>Park</strong> volunteer<br />
since 1996. “With all the services<br />
in <strong>on</strong>e place, if something happens<br />
to <strong>on</strong>e of us, the other is<br />
taken care of.”<br />
The Stevens are building new<br />
relati<strong>on</strong>ships as they look forward<br />
to their new home. They<br />
take day trips with current residents<br />
and enjoy membership in<br />
the Fitness & Wellness Center at<br />
<strong>Elim</strong> <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
Their strategy: There’s no time<br />
like the present to plan for<br />
the future.
