Getting ready for senior care
The baby boomer generation is getting older, and needing more assisted living. Planning for that move in needs to happen sooner rather than later. When you’re getting ready to look at senior care, long term care, or assisted living, consider these simple tip to make the aging journey easier. Before beginning your research make a list of all the things you want that will help keep you healthy and happy. Review your list with family members and make sure that you are all on the same page. Matthew Johnson, Executive Director at Lincoln Court say, “We have found over the years that if it is a collaborative effort with both adult-children and resident makes choosing a community to move to the outcomes are almost always better.” When visiting senior facilities pay close attention to the residents and staff members. Check to see if they look happy. Being taken care of by an employee who doesn’t want to be there will affect the living experience. Before choosing your new residence, research recent state surveys on how well the care is in that building. Meeting with a certified senior advisor could also eliminate your research time in half. You can think of these guys as your senior realtors. Let them know what you’re looking for and your budget and they will direct you to living care services that best match your needs.
