Which Care Option is Right for me?
Understanding the range of care options available in senior living is essential. Some communities may provide skilled nursing services, while others offer independent living apartments.
Having a solid idea of the various care options will help you determine whether the time is right for you or a loved one to move. Once you have a better idea of what’s available, you can find a community that fits your needs.
The best living situation for older adults is one where their health and safety are the top priorities.

Having the Conversation
Discussing the move to assisted living as a child or caregiver with your parents can feel daunting. Rarely do parents and their children agree on the topic. How do you prepare for the conversation? How can you remain calm and listen to their point of view during the discussion?
