When is the Right Time to Move to Senior Living?
Too often, people wait until they have a significant health-related event before deciding the right time to move to senior living. Yet just as often, after a year or two in independent living, residents will say they wish they had moved sooner. So, when is the right time?
Consider how you like to spend your time today. You may prefer not to be tied to the expense and responsibilities of owning and maintaining a home. Think how energizing it would be living and dining among friends — interesting people with stories to tell.
Now imagine your life in 5 or 10 years. Will you still be driving? Will your friends be as mobile and as apt to visit as they are now? What if your health status changes? These issues — isolation, diminishing mobility, the need for care and assistance — should also be considered carefully.
Sooner is better.
Choosing independent senior living while you’re still in excellent health also gives you time to establish yourself in your new home. You’ll build relationships and become part of the community. You’ll be prepared if you need to spend time in rehabilitation or move to another level of living. You’ll be among friends and capable professionals who know you and are ready to help and serve.
