WHY ASSISTED LIVING?

As we grow older it is natural that our physical and cognitive functions begin to fade. Seniors may begin experiencing trouble with basic tasks such as cooking or bathing. It may be difficult for them to reach low or high places. They may become increasingly forgetful. Over time, their condition may worsen to the point of needing assistance with everyday tasks.

As you begin your research on finding an appropriate facility for your loved one, you may experience a whole range of emotions from worry and stress to anger and guilt. Please know that these emotions are normal and that you are not alone. It takes patience, caring, and love to support and care for a loved one as they age. It can be frustrating and overwhelming at times, but also an opportunity for you to connect with your loved one on a deeper level.

Assisted living facilities – also called Senior Living facilities – exist because sometimes you just can’t do it alone anymore and need help. Although that may be hard to accept and be uncomfortable to admit, if you have reached the point of overwhelm it is time to find a facility that will best suit your needs.
