Supporting a Loved One’s Move to Assisted Living
Once mom or dad has made the decision to move to a senior living community, you will want it to go as smooth as possible and this includes helping them choose the right place to meet today’s needs as well as those they may encounter over the next 5 to 10 years. In some cases, a move to an assisted living community is precipitated by a worsening medical condition or an injury due to a fall and the time to mentally prepare oneself is short. This is why MorningStar of Pasadena has a guide to help families navigate through such a momentous change in a senior’s life.
Googling senior living in Pasadena will bring up quite a few hits so experts recommend narrowing down the candidates to 3 or 4 communities that offer assisted living. Start with reading reviews from families and residents’ themselves to see what they say about the place, and then consider location, price and amenities.
Touring a community is a real eye-opener and the Internet offers many tips on what to look for during your visit. At MorningStar of Pasadena, our online virtual assistant lets you inquiry about pricing and availability as well as set up a tour. We recommend setting aside a couple of hours for a tour and to get ready for a lot of details. Take notes and bring any questions you would like to ask. Focus on the overall ambiance, and take a look at our Monthly Expense Comparison and Senior Communities Comparison Chart beforehand to weigh value against cost. We also advise revisiting your top one or two choices, and remember many seniors find a trial stay; we offer them for up to a full month, is a good way to find out if it suits you.
