Senior Living for Myself
Doing the Research
At this point in your journey, you likely have many questions about recurring costs, care options, and even if senior living is right for you. Start with the most basic questions to determine whether or not you need to move forward with comparing senior living communities.
Is Senior Living Right for Me?
If you’re struggling to keep pace with household chores or self-care tasks, it might be time for a senior living community. However, needing care isn’t the only signal that senior living is right for you. If you also crave a maintenance-free way of living, opportunities to meet new people, and amenities that make life more enjoyable, a senior living community is ideal. Many of our residents say they wish that they had made the move earlier!
