Before starting any conversation about transitioning into a senior assisted living community, consider your loved one’s feelings; put yourself in your senior’s daily life, and picture how it will be affected. Once you finish the research and gain the support, plan to start the conversations. Give them plenty of time to become acquainted with idea after having these conversations, allowing questions to be answered before going forward with a plan. Sometimes, the thought of this move can be discomforting, so discussing sooner is better; you want the dialogue to be open, not decided.

Start the conversation in a safe space, somewhere comforting yet neutral, opening both of your minds to new ideas and goals. Know all the perks, so you can give your loved one a glimpse into this new, exciting journey. As a partner, assure your senior that this will not create distance between the two of you, but the opportunity to spend more quality time together without the worry of daily tasks to complete. Whether the feeling is enthusiastic or anxious, remember to stay positive, just considering this option gives your senior a chance to look ahead, and the respect to decide next steps!

Once the move is made, add to the excitement of that new space by giving your loved one a housewarming gift, exploring the property, introducing potential new friends and helping choose a few starting activities. Leave with a date set for the next visit, giving your loved one something to look forward to.

• Bring personal items to put in the new apartment
• Buy a housewarming gift to go in the new space
• Don’t be afraid to put you or your loved one out there, socially
• Keep doing you or your loved one’s favorite activities
• Stay in touch with your family and friends outside of the community, and invite them to visit
• Acquaint yourself with the entire property and its amenities, so you know where you or your loved one wants to go and what you or your loved one wants to do
• Don’t forget to enjoy the new perks

Independent living is for seniors who are able to live on their own in an apartment or house but are looking for convenience, comfort, and security of living within a community. In other words, you enjoy your independence but would like support from services and amenities such as housekeeping, social activities, dining, transportation, security, or the option of assistance with daily tasks or medical care you need it later.

Likewise, an assisted living community combines independent living with health care, as needed, allowing residents to stay independent. Our assisted living communities and caring staff provide a wide range of personal care services like assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing and medication reminders. Many communities providing assisted living for seniors also offer short-term respite care.

Our staff provides personal attention including developing programs designed to suit individual residents’ needs. We provide 24-hour supervised care within a separate wing or floor of a residential community. You can take comfort in knowing our programs are developed by highly experienced, trained staff members who will treat your loved ones as an extension of their own family.

For us, providing independent living care within our communities is more than having the luxury of having a personal chef and housekeeper, it’s making sure you know help is available day and night, when and if you need it. We like to think of it as nurturing an independent lifestyle providing freedom, comfort, activities, peace of mind and security, enabling you to truly enjoy your retirement years.

However, our memory care communities specifically cater to those who are living with Alzheimer’s and dementia through structured care. Our Memory Care communities are designed around a neighborhood-style setting, where common areas are duplicated throughout the community. This allows residents to have a homelike atmosphere within a larger setting.
