Making the transition to assisted living can be challenging for seniors. It is common for older adults to feel sad about leaving their family homes and belongings behind, even if an illness or health issue prompted the move. 

Senior living is a broad term that includes a range of residential options and services designed to meet the ever-changing needs of older adults. Senior communities can include independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehab and skilled nursing facilities. 

You cannot choose how other people act or how situations pan out, but you can control how you react to each circumstance. The only thing you can control in this world is your attitude.

Whether you want to take advantage of retirement with independent living or obtain some extra support with assisted living, senior living communities can provide a supportive and engaging environment where you can make new friends and memories.

Recognizing the signs and seeking proper treatment are essential to your parent's emotional well-being (and your peace of mind) while they reside in assisted living.

Holiday season can be a lonely and melancholy time for loved ones who have moved to a senior living community and miss their spouse, family home and family traditions.
