Planning for the Future Doesn’t Have to Mean Giving Something Up

June 8, 2026

Written by Jen Egizi, executive director, Vibrance

According to a recent survey in AARP, 75% of adults 50 and older want to remain in their homes as they age. In that same survey nearly half identified that they believe a move is likely inevitable. That void is what drives so many families into a cycle of waiting, worrying and putting off decisions until a crisis forces their hand.

At Vibrance by Garden Spot, we believe planning ahead should feel empowering, not limiting. And, that’s exactly why we built our program with flexibility including three distinct pathways that connect Vibrance to Garden Spot Village.

Already on the Garden Spot Village waitlist?

You don’t have to choose between your waitlist position and exploring Vibrance. Our flexible transitions option lets you apply to Vibrance while keeping your place on the Garden Spot Radar List intact.

Interested in both Vibrance and a future at Garden Spot Village?

You can join Vibrance and secure your place on the Garden Spot Village Radar List at the same time. Your Vibrance membership fee passes through towards your radar list deposit so one decision opens two doors.

Already a Vibrance member who’s thinking about campus living?

Your investment in Vibrance travels with you. Members who choose to move to independent living at Garden Spot Village can apply their Vibrance membership fee (less any care used) toward their entrance fee and keep their Vibrance membership as wraparound protection even after the move.

No matter where you are in your planning, there’s a path that meets you there.

We’d love to talk to you about which option would be a good fit for you. Contact us today to start a conversation.
