Navigating a Parent with Second Thoughts About Senior Living
Moving into a senior living community is a significant milestone, one that brings change, new routines, and a shift in surroundings. While many families approach this step with careful planning, it’s not uncommon for aging parents to develop second thoughts. They may hesitate, express regret, or even resist the move altogether.
Are There Physical Requirements for Assisted Living?
Aging is a natural part of life, and for many seniors, daily struggles with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and even personal care can signal the need for extra support.
Assisted living offers a middle ground between complete independence and full-time care, meaning that many communities require seniors applying to be able to move independently (or with minimal assistance) with little to no cognitive impairment.
