HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT ASSISTED LIVING HOME
FOR YOUR LOVED ONES

Moving from a home to an assisted living home can be a daunting task. I know that because I have helped many families find the right assisted living home for their loved ones. Since this is one of the most crucial decisions you can take for your loved one, I always advise people to do their homework well. There are many details to look for when finding the home that gives you that personal care you are looking for, here is one tip that can make the difference.

TIP NUMBER 1: ENJOY AN ACTIVITY.

One of the most important aspects of a home is how the residents spend their free time. Whereas the kind of activities can tell you a lot about a home, it’s the other details you need to keep an eye out for. For example how involved is the staff in it? Does it seem like a chore to them? Is the staff listening to the residents or do they seem zoned out? Another thing to look for is the list of activities, whether they match the interests of your loved ones? Are there outings involved? Lastly check the size of the activity too, to see if they have anything that is personal too. These small details can tell you a lot about how this particular assisted living home operates.
