Visitor Programs

What are retirement community visitor programs:

Retirement Community Visitor programs usually offer a 2 or 3-night stay (although I have seen some 4 and 5 night offers), with some restrictions, usually from newer communities, to "try-out" their community at a usually more reasonable rate and may include some free offer.

Guest programs allow you to visit and tour a community and area and get details you may not have in the brochure. Of course, there may be a sales presentation that you must agree to attend. You go as a prospective purchaser and it should be a positive learning experience and at the same time a lot of fun. If it is an over-55 community, there are rules regarding age restrictions.

golf carts Enjoy the facilities during your stay-- If it's a golf community, may offer a free or reduced rate in the Guest Program. Offers vary a lot so check with the community.

Visitor Programs - Getting to Know an Area:

Retirement community visitor programs also give you the chance to travel outside the community, as you are free to come and go.

If you are touring a whole state or region, you could possibly combine several guest programs.

Large companies like Del Webb have multiple communities with guest stays, making it easier to combine and stay at more than one in a trip. Del Webb Vacation Getaway

The following are a few selections for you to browse:

Arizona and the West - We have already talked about the program at Robson Communities in Arizona on our Arizona page. This a 3 night/4 day stay. Their prices vary according to season. For instance, recently I saw they have a Preferred Guest Getaway for $149 for 3 nights (please verify as rates vary by season and also see the restrictions and rules for programs.)

The other nice thing about this program is that Arizona is the gateway to the West and is a good starting point if you wish to tour the other western states of California, New Mexico, Utah. See them for details.Robson

WCI Communities has a "Preferred Guest Getaway" program. See their website for details and ask for a Community Specialist to help you plan your trip and learn more. Rates vary by season and accommodation. WCI Communities

Sun River in St. George, Utah, has a guest program to experience the Sun River lifestyle by staying in one of their Villas. Stay for three days and two nights for $99. per couple. (Please, as usual, verify rates, offers and availabilities as these can change and see restrictions.) Sun River St. George, Utah

These are only a few suggestions. You should ask the community, if you are interested in visiting a particular community, if they have a guest program. Every season is a good time to travel and there are many "getaways" available at our communities. Summer programs may be fewer than the other seasons.

Start planning for your retirement years now by viewing communities.
