Families often wonder how they will know when it is time for their loved one to move to an Assisted Living or Memory Care community. If your loved one is having difficulty with self-care tasks, has a hard time getting around, is getting overwhelmed with bills and household chores, or has lost interest in cooking and eating, it may be time to consider a more social, supportive environment.

Memory lapses can be a normal part of aging, but if you notice increasing confusion and distraction, be sure to consult your family physician. Specialized Memory Care neighborhoods can increase safety and quality of life.

While you may expect to encounter resistance when discussing Assisted Living, for many seniors it is actually a relief to let go of the day-to-day worries about maintaining a home, finding transportation for shopping and errands, and preparing meals. Plus, living alone can be incredibly isolating, and in an Assisted Living community, there are always opportunities to visit with friends and neighbors.

Stay positive and listen to your loved one’s concerns. Share these when you visit communities so the Senior Living Consultant can address them and show you and your loved one how much living in a community will enhance daily living.

Every Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care community has its own personality. To find the right fit, be sure to tour and talk with current residents and family members. Sample a meal or attend an event. Ask questions. Once you find the right community, you and your whole family will feel right at home.
