Transitioning from a family home to a senior living community can be challenging, but with thoughtful planning and support, it can become a smooth and positive experience. Here are some key steps we use to guide our clients and their families for success:
In-Home Care vs. Community Care
The decision between these options largely depends on the senior's health, personal preferences, financial situation, and social support network. Many choose a hybrid approach, starting with in-home care and eventually transitioning to a retirement community as needs evolve.
It is important to have an advocate for you and your family during this time. As your Senior Living Advisor, we listen to your goals and concerns and create a plan that works best for your wishes and capabilities. We work with families to ensure loved ones feel heard and understood.
