You Don't Have To Sacrifice Your Lifestyle

You Don't Have To Sacrifice Your Independence

When do you finally decide it's the right time?

The truth is that the journey through aging is neither “controllable” nor “predictable”; rather, it is a journey that is governed by the natural progression of age and the dignity of those we hold dear. We all hope that our parents or spouses will be able to age gracefully, but in order to make that happen, we need to be proactive and put our concerns about their safety first. The subsequent fall could result in a fractured hip, which would require hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation in a nursing home before the individual could return home, where the bathtub would still be too high to step into.

Because of this, it’s essential to think about moving into an assisted living facility. Assisted living preserves independence while still providing care that is compassionate, readily available, and provided by trained professionals. Making the decision to move into assisted living, having the talks necessary to do so, and eventually making the shift can be challenging.

What To Consider

We are aware that transitioning into a new environment can be challenging, particularly if one is moving away from a location that is comfortable to them. However, we are here to make that move as easy and painless as possible for you, so that you can quickly get settled in and experience a sense of being perfectly at home.

We will guide you through each stage of the process, from learning about the various levels of care available to gaining an appreciation of the characteristics that set our communities apart from others; all you need to do is follow along with us.

When it’s time to ask the tough questions, use these questions to cover all your bases and make the process easier.

Health & Mental State

Do you manage prescriptions and refills for others?
Are prescriptions missing or administered at the wrong time?
Does nutrition matter? (Dieting or losing weight)
Any confusion? More confusion?
Are there more falls or more falls?

Is personal hygiene deteriorating?
Repeated phone calls with repetitive questions?
Calling the doctor or going to the ER more frequently?
Has mood or behavior changed?
Do you think family and friend isolation is causing emotional harm?

Independence & Home Life

Are laundry facilities hard to access?
Do the bathrooms and amenities have disabled bars?
Is their bedroom and bath upstairs or on one level?
Are there many steps to enter their home?
Do the garage and home have railings? Who brings groceries?

Is grass or snow removal your weekend job or do they have a trustworthy service?
Still driving? Nighttime too? Has their reaction time changed?
Are they supported locally for daily needs and emergencies?
Is your time together becoming more work than an enjoyable visit?

The "Decision" is significant and we're here to help
