Knowing when it’s time to move and understanding your options:
In a recent survey, 85% of seniors aged 75 and over said remaining in their home was a priority. Unfortunately, that may not be safe or practical. The first obstacle is determining what your elderly loved one’s needs are and whether they can be met in their current living situation.
• Has your loved one experienced a marked decline in their vision or hearing?
• Can they still drive a car safely or have they lost driving privileges?
• Has their personal hygiene declined?
• Have they lost weight?
• Are they less stable on their feet and more prone to falls?
• 54% of all injury accidents take place in the home with falls and fractures as the most common injuries.
Making the decision to move is never easy and always emotional for everyone involved, but focusing on the benefits of a new living environment can make the transition more manageable. Today’s senior living communities offer a wide variety of living arrangements and amenities while providing seniors with socialization opportunities and stimulating activities.
As Senior Living Advisors with Oasis, we provide a roadmap for a smooth transition to senior care living and help families navigate this difficult and emotional journey.
