How Ann’s Choice helps you keep your New Year’s goals

By Melissa Borgerding
THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE

According to a recent online survey, 79% of people who make New Year’s resolutions don’t have a plan to achieve them. That could explain why so many resolutions just don’t stick. In fact, 51% of people surveyed say they don’t even bother to make resolutions anymore because they’re so frustrated with past failures.

So how can you avoid the same frustrating cycle in 2007? Well, instead of making a resolution to do something good for yourself, make a plan to do something great. Make 2007 the year to consider your move to Ann’s Choice.

Maybe the reason your past resolutions haven’t been quite so successful is that you’ve been trying to go it alone. Or maybe you just haven’t had the right opportunities, not to mention the time, to keep those resolutions up. But at Ann’s Choice, you’ll have everything you need to make your resolutions last all year long.

Take a look at three resolutions you’ve probably made in the past, and find out how Ann’s Choice can help you achieve your New Year’s goals.

1. Resolve to stay fit and healthy
Maybe this isn’t the first year you’ve resolved to start an aerobics class or add a few more green veggies to your diet. Maybe it’s not even the second. Well, don’t worry. Erickson Health^SM at Ann’s Choice makes fitness easy and fun. Erickson Health^SM is the nation’s largest health and wellness system for older adults. Programs are designed to keep you healthy, not just treat you if you’re ill.

One of those healthy advantages is a state-of-theart Fitness Center. Instead of fighting the traffic and the weather to reach your health club, just stroll down the glass-enclosed, climate-controlled walkway and hop on your favorite bike, or dive into your morning water aerobics class.

And for those times when you do wake up with a tickle in your throat, won’t it be a relief knowing that you have a team of physicians and health care workers on site? Because your Erickson Health^SM doctor sees just 400 patients total, compared to the average doctor’s 2,000, you’ll likely get an appointment the same day you call.

Nothing is more important than your health. So this year, resolve to give yourself every healthy advantage possible.

2. Resolve to make even more financially savvy decisions
Won’t it be a relief to free yourself from the hassle—not to mention expense—of constant house repairs and skyrocketing energy bills? Won’t it be nice to spend more time doing the things you want to do, not the things you have to do?

Well, Ann’s Choice’s easy-to-understand financial plan lets you resolve to do just that. With Erickson’s 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit, you can preserve your financial legacy, even while you’re having the time of your life. Unlike other communities, you won’t find any complicated payment options—just a single plan that creates the superior value for you. The best part is—we put our promises in writing. Just ask to read the Residence and Care Agreement when you visit.

3. Resolve to devote more time to the things you love
Many people like to challenge themselves to try something new each year, like a computer class or a volunteer effort. With so many opportunities at your fingertips, you’re sure to find new ways to share your talents, discover new skills, and keep on living life to the fullest at Ann’s Choice.

Try an invigorating water aerobics class, sharpen your computer skills, or lend your talent to a volunteer group. It’s vital to continue learning new things, but imagine the expense of taking classes at the local college, or the hassle of driving all the way across town. Plus, it’s not always easy to find people who share your interests.

At Ann’s Choice, however, all the opportunities you want are under one roof. Don’t see a class or a club you like? Start one yourself. And you can bet those classes and clubs are guaranteed to be a lot more fun with great friends to share them.

A resolution to keep
