Today, there are so many options for senior living and when each option should be considered is different for everyone. But what is certain, is that there are discussions that need to be had with the senior and their family. And there are specific questions to ask.
A recent article in the online news outlet MinnPost, explored how a family knows when it’s the right time to look for space in an assisted living facility and they found that there is one major key factor in the decision. The article says, “One expert said the first and most important factor that should be considered is the older person’s feelings about leaving their home for a different living situation.”
The article has a great list of factors that trigger a next step discussion with loved ones including physical safety, whether being at home is isolating, and their existing neighborhood may be undergoing a change.
