FAQ
Many independent seniors choose a community simply to eliminate the burdens of owning a house – higher insurance, property taxes, repairs, yard work, shoveling snow and regular maintenance. Often the decision is driven by the desire to be in a social and active environment. It also provides levels of safety and security. Unlike the social isolation that one may experience from living alone, at a community like Smith Village, there are always friendly neighbors around you to socialize and do things with, and someone close by if an emergency arises.
As a not-for-profit organization, our mission and long-standing values govern every management and financial decision our executives, our associates and our dedicated board of trustees make. Instead of focusing on profits for shareholders, revenue generated is reinvested into the community, ensuring Smith Village’s dedication to improving the lives of our residents, staff and community we serve.
