Assisted living situations – what to expect?
Consider a budget
You might assume that more expensive means safer and happier. However, develop a budget that fits your needs. Discuss the options as well as the source of income.
Research
Make a list of facilities that provide services in five main areas – bathing, dressing, meal preparation, transportation, and medication management. After you are satisfied with these, any extra perks such as pets or a pool can also be considered.
Concerns
The senior in your life is understandably going to have some concerns about moving into assisted living situations. The loss of independence can be terrifying, so it’s important to acknowledge their fears and address them accordingly.
Planning the move into assisted living situation and downsizing
From the keep pile, you’ll have to further divide the belongings into what can be taken with them to their new assisted living situation. Some facilities may have rules, so check about things like larger furniture or substantial wardrobes. For those items that can’t be taken to the living assistance facility, but you can’t bear to part with, transport to your storage unit.
