Making the transition to living in a senior care facility is an important choice. Whether you’re making the choice for you or a loved one, it’s helpful to do as much research as possible. Start exploring this topic today by reading the tips in our blog post. 

What Are the Options?

All senior living facilities are not the same. That’s why you need to know what’s important to you. Each facility will have its own specialties. Your job is to find one that aligns best with what you need. The first thing you should look into is the types of senior living facilities in your area. This will help you narrow down your search to the places that best for you. Some facilities offer memory care, while some offer skilled nursing. 

The next thing you may want to consider is reading the reviews for each place you’re going to call. Keep in mind that no place will ever have a perfect 5-star rating as you can never please everyone. So, focus on the positive reviews and take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. 

How Do I Pay?

When you’re considering a senior living facility, you must consider the cost. Each facility will provide different payment structures, so be sure to ask when you make the first call. Some facilities are private pay only and some will take Medicaid. It just depends on who you call. You should also get a list of amenities that are included. In most cases, senior living covers more than you may think. 

What Kind of Activities Will There Be?

Life at a senior living facility is fulfilling. The best way to find out what kind of activities they offer is to take a look at their calendar for the month. If you really want to ensure that you or your loved one will be entertained, simply have a chat with the activities manager. They’ll be glad to fill you in on what’s going on.
