Senior Living News in Short Pump

People who live in retirement communities are less lonely, more physically active, and more engaged than before they moved in, according to a June 2025 U.S. News & World Report survey.

That certainly holds true at Avery Point, an Erickson Senior Living community in Short Pump, Va., where residents have plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors through clubs, exercise classes, volunteer efforts, creative pursuits, and shared meals. 

The Live the Life program--exclusive to Priority List members--allows guests to stay overnight in a furnished suite, utilize amenities, join club meetings, dine at on-campus restaurants, and chat with current residents.

JoAnn's Priority List membership gave her the opportunity to stay on campus overnight through the Live the Life program--an experience that made her realize Avery Point was the community for her. "The community was warm, genuine, friendly, and active. I liked that!"
