If your elderly parent is finding it difficult to keep-up with daily household tasks, is forgetful or finds it difficult to meet their doctors’ appointments, it may be a good idea to consider moving them into an assisted living facility. Assisted living facilities are best for seniors that need some help with daily tasks but do not need constant medical care.

When considering such a facility it is important to conduct some research. Prior research will help a loved one receive the best care they require to enjoy living a happy, healthy life. Additionally including your loved one in the decision-making process will help them adjust to their new living conditions with less reluctance.

Start by making a list of the criteria required in terms of amenities, care, security, and location. Consider asking friends and family for recommendations while researching online. Once you have short listed a few facilities, speak to the care manager of each establishment, and gather more details.

Visit each short-listed facility as it will help to clarify if its staff, residents, care, and cleanliness are up to the standards you require. Including your loved one on each visit is a good way to reduce their anxieties as moving to a new home can be stressful.

Once a facility has been selected, request for a copy of their contract to understand the costs and what the facility will contractually offer. Clarify any areas of concern before proceeding with the contract to ensure both parties are clear on each other’s expectations.
