Where Do I Begin with Senior Living?

How do I know when it’s the right time for senior living and care?

  • What financial planning options are available
  • How to best facilitate a smooth transition into an assisted living community

If you’ve got questions and need personalized support and guidance—we’re here for you!

Reach out to your local Frontida Assisted Living community for individualized assistance to help you take the first steps in your decision-making journey.

What does ‘assisted living’ mean?

Assisted living exists on a spectrum of long-term care services that provide housing, personal support, and medical care to those who are no longer able to live independently.

Unlike nursing homes, assisted living communities are designed to promote a greater level of independence, empowering residents to continue doing the things they love, while having the support and care of a specialized team when they need it.

In certain cases, residents in assisted living require a greater level of care, due to challenges with memory loss, behavioral health, and other factors.

For these individuals, some of our Frontida houses provide Memory Care and behavioral health services that are tailored specifically to the unique needs of these residents.

How will I know when it’s time for senior assisted living and care?

Knowing when to begin the journey into assisted living can be challenging—for both family members in need and their loved ones.

As a result, many wait until something happens that forces them to make decisions about care very quickly. But this can impact your ability to find the best quality of care and an environment that suits the wants and needs of your loved one.

You may be unsure if your loved one can truly benefit from assisted living and care. If you have questions, here are some common signs that it’s time to consider assisted living.

Does your loved one struggle with:

  • Personal care, such as showering, dressing, or cooking
  • Home maintenance tasks, like cleaning or gardening
  • Accidents, such as trips or falls
  • Increased medical care requirements
  • Lack of companionship and feelings of loneliness
  • Behavioral health declines that are impacting their quality of life
  • Issues with forgetfulness or memory loss

If you’re having difficulty providing your loved one with the level of care and support they require, it can negatively impact your relationship with them and cause more stress and worry in your life.

Assisted living can help you get back your time, energy, and relationship with your loved one, not to mention the peace of mind you deserve.
