How do you decide when it’s time for Assisted Living?

It can be difficult to know when the time has come for you or your loved one to enter an Assisted Living community. In order to help you make the assessment, it can be helpful to ask yourself a series of questions, considering the past 12 months of life.

Have you or your loved one:

• Experienced at least one fall, even if there was no injury?
• Experienced increasing frustration or difficulty with meal preparation or eating?
• Given you any concern that they are hungry or that their nutritional needs are not being met by their current diet?
• Experienced difficulty maneuvering safely around the house, especially with stairs or getting into and out of bed, the bath or the car?
• Required or requested help with getting dressed, bathing or other activities
• Forgotten or mixed up medication dosages?
• Seemed lethargic, apathetic or mentioned their loneliness or depression?
• Stopped exercise routines or social activities that always brought them joy due to pain or difficulty getting out and about?

Perhaps the most important indicator is your intuition. Have you been worried or concerned about your/their isolation and/or safety?
