Why Make A Move?
Are you a family member…
Who is caring for a parent that is aging? We understand that it can be stressful. Worrying about your loved one’s health and happiness may be affecting your marriage, your time, your finances, your career and your relationships with other family members.
A senior living community can be an excellent solution to your loved one’s situation, offering safety, socialization, and a focus on wellness.
It may be a good time to investigate senior living options for your loved one if:
You worry if your loved one takes their medicines appropriately
You wonder if they are eating anything other than TV dinners
You struggle to fit one more doctor appointment into your work schedule
They have gotten lost while driving
Your loved one’s mobility is declining
You worry what will happen if they fall and nobody hears them
Home maintenance is becoming too much for them and you to manage
You can’t meet all their social needs
You are missing work each week trying to meet their needs
Are you an older adult…
Who always imagined living in your home with a bit of visiting help when needed? Unfortunately sometimes living at home is not the safest or the healthiest option.
It may be time to make the decision to move to new senior living if:
You have been falling a lot at home
You are lonely or sad being at home alone most of the time
Taking care of household maintenance is burdensome
You’ve been newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease or another type of dementia and want to plan ahead
Investing in more hours for home aids isn’t financially prudent
Chronic pain makes navigating your large home difficult
