Getting started. We can help.
When it’s time to think about an ideal home for yourself or an older loved one, what seems most appealing? While nearly 90% of people 65 and older surveyed by AARP® said they would like to “age in place” at home, many find remaining at home can be both physically impractical and socially isolating over time.
Senior living communities are popular solutions – and more often than not have a positive impact on overall health and well-being.
So where do you start?
We know that when it comes to senior living, there’s a lot to learn. It can seem overwhelming. There are other inevitable questions:
- How do I know when the time is right
- Will I like living in a community?
- Can I afford assisted living or memory care?
- How do I talk to aging parents about moving?
- How does the planning start?
