For some seniors, it becomes more difficult as they age to function independently with regard to managing household tasks and caring for themselves. When this happens, it could be time to consider transitioning to a senior community to maintain an enjoyable quality of life. Moving into a top quality senior community can be a very positive experience.
If a loved one is considering this, we have six important things to ask about when inquiring about a senior living community.

LEVEL OF CARE & MEDICAL SERVICES
Senior communities are designed to serve residents who need a specific level of care. Whether Independent Living, Assisted Living or Memory Care services are best for your loved one, it is critical to ensure that any community that is being considered aligns properly with their unique care and medical needs.
Accommodations
Quality senior living communities offer a wide range of attractive living spaces in a variety of design options. Depending upon a senior’s personal tastes and level of care needed, it is important to learn as much as possible about what sort of living accommodations a specific community offers.
Amenities
Having full access to a wide range of convenient and life enhancing amenities is a key factor in choosing the right senior community. Many properties offer housekeeping, laundry service, restaurant style dining, social activities and events, transportation and more. These kinds of resources can make a huge difference in the quality of a senior’s daily life.
Dining Options
Quality senior communities offer excellent dining experiences with healthful, delicious meals to enjoy. Some properties have several dining rooms with restaurant style menus, where residents can choose what they would like to eat for each meal. In addition, some communities offer excursions to restaurants, and maintain community gardens, where residents grow vegetables that are used in daily meal preparation.
Safety and Security Needs
One of the hallmarks of good senior communities is that they offer state of the art security, and safety measures that perfectly align with the level of care that is needed for each resident. Whether it be locked outside doors, safety sensors or equipment such as grab bars, raised toilets or shower seats, a key objective of senior communities is to ensure that all residents remain comfortable and safe.
Cost
The monthly cost to reside in a senior community can vary, based on location, level of care and the accommodations and amenities offered. Confirming that a given property is not only affordable, but also meets the care requirements needed for a resident are two of the most important considerations.
