Discussing senior living options can be challenging – especially with those closest to us. You may have noticed some signs that it is time for your loved one to begin to consider a senior living community. It is important to prepare yourself prior to approaching the topic with your loved one.

It is beneficial to do your homework before initiating a conversation. Educating yourself on local senior living communities is a great place to start. Your loved ones will have questions and may have concerns as they explore options for senior living.

Starting this important conversation is often the most challenging part. It is common to want to procrastinate, but if you are concerned about their safety, it is important to initiate this conversation as early as possible. Take the time to listen to your loved ones’ concerns and empathize with them.

Work together to find a community that is right for them and arrange a visit to the community. As a result, they will gain a better understanding of the lifestyle, culture, amenities, and their potential neighbors. A visit will often help make the decision easier for your loved ones.
