I first learned of SmartLife through Willow Valley Communities and then shared the information with friends who were moving from North Carolina and opted to join the program.  I finally realized it makes complete sense both from a financial standpoint of view and a general well-being of life perspective, so I moved forward with SmartLife myself.  For me, it really is about the affordable monthly expense and being able to live independently in a neighborhood I am comfortable with.  It gives me an extra sense of freedom along with a confidence that I have planned well in case something might happen to me.  Additionally, I have experienced outstanding communication with my Lifecare Coordinator.  Fortunately at this stage, I have not had to call upon her for assistance.  I am totally confident though when that time comes, she will be available to me.
