Factors to Consider When Moving Into a Senior Living Community
Published: February 21, 2023
Many seniors find that assisted living communities offer a range of benefits, including social opportunities, access to care, and increased safety and security. It is important for seniors and their families to carefully evaluate their options and choose a community that meets their individual needs and preferences.
Additionally, assisted living communities, like SRI-managed communities, offer resources and support to help seniors make a successful transition.
Here are some factors that can make the transition challenging:
- Emotional adjustment: Moving into an assisted living community can be a significant emotional adjustment, as seniors may be leaving behind a home they have lived in for many years and saying goodbye to friends and neighbors.
- Feeling a Loss of Independence: Moving into an assisted living community can also represent a loss of independence for some seniors, which can be difficult to accept.
- Financial considerations: The cost of assisted living can be a concern for some seniors, especially if they are on a fixed income or have limited financial resources.
- Health needs: Some seniors may require different levels of care such as memory care.
- Physical challenges: Seniors with mobility issues may find it challenging to move their belongings and adjust to a new living environment, but with the help of community staff the transition can made easier.
