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.
