Embarking on the journey into assisted living is a significant milestone, one that is often approached with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty.

Determining the right time for assisted living
Pinpointing the “best age” for such a move is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all answer.
The journey toward choosing assisted living is guided by identifying essential signs and respecting the uniqueness of each individual’s path.
It’s about observing meaningful changes in your loved one—whether in managing daily tasks, keeping up with home maintenance, or navigating social connections—that indicate a need for more supportive living arrangements.
A transition out of a family home and into assisted living is a decision that varies from one family to the next, influenced by a complex interplay of health, lifestyle, and emotional readiness.
