WHERE TO START?
Castle Senior Living is here to help! With so much information out there, we understand helping a loved one can become overwhelming. How do you find the right place?
1. Understanding Your Options
With many senior living options available, it is important to understand the state licensure type, level of assistance provided, size of the community, limitations of the community, financial obligations and opportunities for funding assistance.
It’s also important to include family and talk it through with your loved one. It isn’t always an easy conversation. That’s why we provide some tips on approaching that tough conversation in our blog.
2. Ask Questions
Finding the right community can be overwhelming. Here are some good questions to ask yourself and at any community.
What are my needs? What activities and amenities are available? How is health care delivered? How open is the community to questions from would-be residents and family? What other individual preferences and concerns do I have? What differentiates this facility from all the others?
3. Schedule a Tour
Visiting websites, reading reviews and talking to senior care communities over the phone only goes so far. One of the most important steps is to take a tour of the community you’re considering. That’s usually when you know it is the right fit or not.
And the good news is, that we are here to help answer your questions, give you the tour, and provide you with options that will fit your wants, needs and overall budget.
This is a difficult decision to make, but there are many resources available. If you’d like to talk more about the process or learn more about Castle Senior Living, please reach out. We are always happy to help.
