Getting started
- I'm not sure how to initiate a conversation regarding my mom moving from her home. Any helpful suggestions?
- How do you go about making a decision about where to move?
- What can a Referral Agent do to help our family?
- I have heard the term CCRC - is this a type of retirement home?
- Should we be looking at Assisted Living or an Adult Care Home for my father?
- I have four places that are at the top of my list to show my parents. They are coming in from
out of state to visit and to look at places to live. They will likely move here next year.
Should I show them all four, and should I mail them packages of information on each community?
How much of my own opinion should I give them?
- My mother is asking me to promise her that if she moves to Assisted Living that she won't have to move again. The people at the community are telling me that they feel she'll be able to live there her entire life. Is this true?
- Is there some way I can gather information without having to repeat my story over and over to the Assisted Living communities?
- My parents have been contemplating moving from our family home, but they've been there fifty-five years, and they can't envision moving from a 2,780 square foot home to a 700 square foot retirement apartment. What can I do to help them?
- Is there a formula for downsizing?
- What is the average age of people living in Assisted Living?
- I think my dad needs to be around people more often. When I go to visit him, he seems happy, but when we're together, he talks about being lonely and having nothing to do.
- How can I prepare my mother for the change she's going to experience when she moves into the home we've chosen for her?
- How long will it take for my mother to feel like the Assisted Living community is her home?
- What if I help my dad make this move and he ends up not liking it and wants to move back to his home?
