Choosing the right facility

In making the decision as to where to place a family member, take your time, conduct the proper research, make sure the facility is a good match for your loved one. Have your family member visit the facility multiple times before making the final decision. Finding the right assisted living facility is one of the most important decisions that will ever be made for your senior loved one. Here are some significant things to consider:

Cleanliness of Facility
Friendliness of Staff
Personal Care of Residents
Quality of Meals
Security and Safety

Settling in

Your pre-planning strategies before moving into your new community will soften your move-in adjustment period. Just as it took you time to adjust to a new community when you moved into a new home, this transition won’t be easy at first. Once moved in, you will discover new community support groups, staff and friends who will help you ease into your new life of independent community living. Independent/Assisted living enables seniors to enjoy social contact, security and support while still maintaining their independence.
