What to Do While Waiting: How to Plan Ahead for Livelle’s Opening in 2028

Opening in 2028, Livelle will present a refined vision for senior living – where nature, design, and luxury converge within a remarkable Life Plan Community. If you’re already on the waitlist, you might be wondering how to use the few years ahead productively, so there are no unexpected hurdles when it’s time to move in. The truth is, waiting for a community to open doesn’t mean you have to wait to start preparing. From organizing your home to exploring the neighborhood, there are plenty of ways to get ready for this exciting next chapter.

Explore Floor Plans and Start Downsizing

One of the best ways to channel anticipation is to begin visualizing your future home. Begin by exploring Livelle’s thoughtfully designed floor plans. Imagine how each residence can be tailored with your personal touch, blending comfort with elevated finishes.

This is also the perfect time to start thinking about downsizing. Give yourself the gift of time by sorting through items little by little. Curate your surroundings by keeping only what brings meaning, gifting heirlooms, or donating items so your future residence feels intentional and uncluttered.

Downsizing early helps the move feel easier – and it will make your new home feel more like you.

Research Tax Benefits of Senior Living

Another productive way to prepare is by learning about the financial advantages of a move. Entrance fees, monthly fees or certain healthcare costs at a Type B Life Plan Community like Livelle may qualify for tax deductions.

Selling your home, moving into a community or paying for long-term care may also create opportunities for tax savings. Exploring these benefits now ensures you’re financially prepared when Livelle’s doors open.

Resources like A Place for Mom’s tax tips or Where You Live Matters explain how these deductions work. For more personalized guidance, it’s always good to consult a professional financial advisor.

Make a “First 30 Days” List

Think ahead to what you’d like to do right away when you move in. Whether you’re looking forward to joining a book club, attending a lecture, sampling the high-end culinary offerings, or embracing new wellness opportunities, creating a ‘First 30 Days’ list helps the anticipation to life.

Plan for the Move

Moving isn’t just about packing boxes – it’s about planning strategically and acting methodically. While you wait, you can:

  • Begin preparing your current home for sale with small updates or repairs.
  • Learn how to best stage your home so that it’s ready for selling.
  • Research and select a local real estate agent to assist you with your home sale.

Tackling these steps now will reduce stress when it’s finally time to sell your home and move into Livelle.

Attend Community Events

Long before opening day, senior living communities host regular informational events, social gatherings or meet-and-greets for depositors – Livelle is no exception. These events invite you to connect with future neighbors, meet the team, and begin weaving yourself into the fabric of Livelle’s community spirit. The more connections you make now, the easier it will be to settle in later.

Explore Your New Neighborhood

Part of the excitement of a move is discovering new local attractions. Set within the natural beauty of Calabasas, Livelle places you moments from local dining, cultural gems, and serene outdoor escapes. From the Calabasas Farmers Market to nearby hiking trails, spending time in the area now will make your future move feel like a seamless transition.
