Goals to Consider...
Not Sure, Let's Talk About It
1
Aging at Home
With the increasing availability of non-medical housekeeping, medical home care, hospice, and local income-based programming many people are now considering the possibility and advantages of aging in their own homes. Whether support was needed yesterday or you are considering additional layers of care for tomorrow, it's worth evaluating options based on your care requirements, community/family support, and finances.

2
Aging in a Retirement Community/CCRC
Independent Living communities provide increased opportunities for socialization & ala cart supports while preserving privacy and independence through apartment-style living. Additionally, Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are a reassuring option for aging in place, with the added advantage of layered care services and settings suitable for higher levels of skilled need. Independent Living/CCRCs tend to have the longest waiting lists so starting the process sooner vs later is important. Not sure, let's talk about it!
3
Aging in Assisted Living/Memory Care/Skilled Nursing
Assisted living communities provide 24/7 support to their residents with varying levels of assistance available at different costs. All communities vary in setting, size, amenities, care levels, pricing, and staff-to-resident care ratio. It's important to evaluate your current goals, finances, and care needs and how they may change into the future. Some assisted living communities additionally offer Memory Care in secured settings tailored to the enhancement and safety of your loved one. For 24/7 RN supervision of chronic medically managed conditions, Long Term Care Skilled Nursing Facility may be appropriate.
