Episode Synopsis

In this cheerful episode, we welcome longtime resident Bob from Edencrest senior-living communities to share a candid, fun-filled conversation about making the shift from his home to a vibrant senior-living-community lifestyle across central Iowa.Together, they explore how Edencrest’s all-in-one lifestyle—renting a worry-free home, joining clubhouse events, making new friends, and replacing home maintenance with hobbies—has become Bob’s everyday delight. He’ll dish on his favorite amenities (the fitness center? the dining room? the library?) and reminisce about the little “freedoms” he gained: no more mowing the lawn, no more snow shoveling, and plenty more time for what he truly enjoys.Listeners will get:A behind-the-scenes look at how Edencrest supports independent living, assisted living and memory-care options under one roof.Bob’s personal take on the adjustment curve—what he loved, what surprised him, and why he’d recommend the move now, while Iowa’s senior-living market is strong and growing.A playful contrast between “life on your own” vs. “life at Edencrest” with community, convenience and connection at the center. Plus, a preview of upcoming locations and how Hubbell Realty’s portfolio is expanding across the region.Whether you’re a senior pondering your next chapter, a family member helping with the decision, or just curious about how senior-living communities are evolving—this episode offers a refreshing, resident-led perspective on thriving in the next stage of life.
