How To Find Cheap Senior Apartment Living (Without Making A Mistake !)

3. Choosing What Appeals To You Rather Than Your Loved One

The decision to take a loved one to an assisted living facility is often made by the senior’s adult children or grandchildren. The decision-maker if not considerate enough, may make a choice based on what they think is good for the senior. This is not always the case. For instance, you can choose a center because it has a heated pool for its residents or because it has a large backyard. While these are some great and appealing amenities, they would mean nothing to a loved one who can’t physically make use of them. For example, what advantage would be a heated pool for a senior who can’t leave their bed? When making your search, ensure you take into consideration the desires of your loved one and not just your own. If possible, have them describe to you their desires and then use that as the basis of your search. Your loved one may also not manage to tell of their desires. In such a case, then you, together with your family members or close friends, can deliberate on what you think he or she would love.
