The Talk
about Assisted Living
Now that you have decided to look into an assisted living community, you ought to ask the opinion and the willingness of your loved one(s) because it would not be a small change in their lives. Consequently, in most cases, it could be a difficult conversation to have.
To move forward, it might be beneficial to remember (1) why you want to have the conversation in the first place, (2) it is a group decision because the whole family is in it all together, (3) and it is a positive move.
Moving to an Assisted Living Community gives you peace of mind and time back because there are professional caregivers taking over the responsibilities, ultimately benefiting your physical, mental, social, and sometimes financial health.
If there are other family members, bring them into the loop. Talk about the reality of the situation. Then discuss potential options. If there is a clear need and benefit of moving Mom and/or Dad to an Assisted Living Community, then make a decision and plan together to meet the needs of the elder. Most importantly, plan and visit them!
