Planning requires that you look‘ realistically’ into the crystal ball.

Try to imagine your life 5 to 10 years from now. Try to imagine what your life would be like if you or your spouse passed away … or if you lost the ability to drive. How would you manage?

Who’ s going to change the light bulbs?

Many people elect to“ stick it out” in their own homes. But, what they don’ t realize is that this plan creates a tremendous amount of burden on their family and friends. Maintaining the home, as well as taking care of your daily care and medical needs can become a major challenge. Seniors who never wanted to rely upon their children are now putting a great amount of stress and hardship on their children.

It is always better to be 5 years too early than 5 minutes too late.

Many senior living communities have medical acceptance criteria requirements. People who wait for a crisis to occur, or wait until progressive medical conditions worsen, can be denied residency because of their advanced medical conditions. You are better to move when you are healthy, than to wait until you are ill.

Senior living communities are bright, happy places!

At the root of the timing question is the misconception that senior living communities are cold, stark places... and that by moving you will be losing your independence. This is far from the truth. Today, senior living / personal care communities are bright, vibrant, thriving communities that offer a wide spectrum of services and amenities, including country club dining, social activities, and off-site trips, along with fitness and wellness programs so seniors can live life to the fullest.

I’ m not ready to consider a move to a retirement community!

Many( if not all) of the seniors moving into a senior community say they are not ready. But, if you speak with those same seniors a year later, 99.9 % of them will tell you that moving to a senior living / personal care community was the best decision they ever made … and they wish they would have made the move sooner!!
