00:00:02.440 --> 00:00:07.080
Christine Healy: Hi, Arthur! Hi, Christine! Good morning. How are you doing today?
2
00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:20.649
arthurbretschneiderimac: Doing pretty good? How about yourself? I'm good. I'm super excited to talk to you a little bit about one of my favorite new communities in Georgia. But before we get there I'd love for people to know a little bit about you and your background.
3
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:41.420
arthurbretschneiderimac: Sure. Yeah. So I've been working in the senior living industry for about 20 years now. My family started building and operating er yeah, started operating retirement homes back in the 19 fifties. Actually, we built, you know, a bunch of properties on the West coast. And then I started senior
4
00:00:41.510 --> 00:01:00.800
arthurbretschneiderimac: a little bit later, because I saw first hand how difficult it was for families to find the right communities when they were going through this process, and so over the years have personally helped hundreds of families find great senior living communities. And of course, here at Senior le Help. Thousands of families every year
5
00:01:00.850 --> 00:01:20.740
Christine Healy: cool. So you have. I'm not gonna say you're 80, but you have 80 years of experience informing your your approach. So one of the communities that I have just been watching from afar. It's called Corso in Atlanta. And it is. It just looks like a beautiful community. But tell me what you know about this one?
6
00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:48.600
arthurbretschneiderimac: Sure. Yeah. So course of Atlanta is. It's a it's maybe, if not, the most luxurious. It's certainly one of the most luxurious senior living communities in all of Atlanta, you know the the location is pretty amazing. It's very easy access off 75 only 10 min away from the downtown area. Well, maybe like 20 min with traffic. But it's it's quite as I said. It's quite centrally located. It's in Buckhead
7
00:01:48.600 --> 00:02:13.429
arthurbretschneiderimac: so near tons of shopping opportunities. Lots of dining, you know, near like the whole foods and publics. So just a just a overall great OP. Great location and and and a really really well done, newly built community and courses specifically offers a full continuum of care there. So that means they're supporting older adults who have independent living needs.
8
00:02:13.430 --> 00:02:31.759
arthurbretschneiderimac: assisted living needs and even memory care needs. And so they can really help a lot of different folks. You know, with sort of their different aging needs. A couple of things to highlight, I think about Corso. So first, there's no buy in fee in.
9
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:53.579
arthurbretschneiderimac: Yeah. Well, so you know, a lot of times. Some of these more like new, large luxurious communities tend to, you know, be sort of either a Ccr which has a buy in, or maybe some other model. But at Corso it's, you know, everything is leased, or it's all rented and so that model is quite you know. It's it's quite flexible for people.
10
00:02:53.880 --> 00:03:12.389
arthurbretschneiderimac: but you know, I think besides the model I mean, I think folks, if they're interested, they really need to go and and get into this building because you know, when you walk, when you first walk in you'll just notice the attention to detail in the design, you'll, you know, obviously like
11
00:03:12.390 --> 00:03:25.119
arthurbretschneiderimac: there's some pretty incredible work right in the front. There's a it's a European design. Super high ceilings, probably 10 feet high. You know. The property also has
12
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:46.519
arthurbretschneiderimac: sort of different unique floor plans that folks can see. So you know, they have what they call their city home apartments, which are really just like apartments that are overlooking a courtyard. But I would I would think of them more almost like a town home versus just a regular room, and so, and then they, of course, have kind of more regular rooms for folks. But
13
00:03:46.520 --> 00:04:14.679
arthurbretschneiderimac: The community also offers you know, great great services, including the 24 7 concierge service. So for families that are living in that more independent living. you know. Apartments. They get. They get concier services they can that can help them within the community can help them, you know, outside the community, if they need transportation. If they wanna go to events, all sorts of things so they can. They can really get a lot of help. And then.
14
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:29.430
arthurbretschneiderimac: as I was talking about the floor plans, too. You know they have studios, one bedrooms, 2 bedrooms. So again, just a lot of flexibility. Here again, it's the full care continuum, you know, different sort of 4 plans. And you know all in this, like beautifully designed
15
00:04:29.430 --> 00:04:53.639
arthurbretschneiderimac: new building. And I will add, if you are on a tour, and and you're looking for 2 vendor, and be sure to ask for to see the the 2 bedroom penthouse apartments, which are quite spectacular. Yeah, now we've been. You and I have been talking a lot about luxury communities, and we've been looking at like New York and San Francisco, and and Corso has something that I've never seen before, which is, they have an onsite florist.
16
00:04:54.060 --> 00:05:04.999
Christine Healy: I think they have. We? I think it was dog walking, washing stations there as well. So just like really cool amenities. That I just haven't seen before for senior living
17
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:29.700
arthurbretschneiderimac: totally. And and they've also built out like very specialized programming inside the community. So you know whether that's engagement programs or wellness, they, they have this program that they call flourish. And it's really a combination of like exercise, and like mental and like wellness, and just a whole bunch of different, you know aspects of your daily living to sort of help you flourish right? And so
18
00:05:29.700 --> 00:05:53.629
arthurbretschneiderimac: they're they're yeah, they're really into it. I mean, they even talk about like, you know, can can how sleep can help a healthy aging. And like, how do you create that environment? Or so? Yeah, just a lot of it's a really great community definitely should be on your list. And yeah, great. Well, thank you so much for your time. Good stuff! I can't wait. Next time I'm in Atlanta I'm going.
19
00:05:53.760 --> 00:05:56.359
arthurbretschneiderimac: So talk to you later.
