As hard as it can be, having open and honest conversations about what is happening now and what might happen in the future is key. HAVING THE “TALK” We know it can be hard, but it’s really important to talk about what’s happening as soon as possible. An in-depth conversation guide is available here: View Guide MOVING VS.

EXPLORE SERVICES There are services available for everyone’s individual needs. Ask yourself key questions to help determine the best service for you or a loved one. Will this service and/or facility meet your needs? Can they accommodate if you or your loved one needs more intensive care in the next step of the aging journey? Can they demonstrate quality of care and successful outcomes? LOCATION If it’s a facility, is it near friends and family for easy visits? Is the location near amenities that are important to the aging person such as medical facilities, places of worship, parks, shopping, etc.? AFFORDABILITY Taking all sources of income into account, is the solution within your budget? If you aren’t sure, the next step can help. STEP THREE Financing Hopefully you’ve found a great service fit. Your next step is to get the financial side of things in order. DETERMINE PAYOR SOURCES Depending on the type of care needed, different sources of payment may be involved. For example, Medicare will not pay for any type of Assisted Living, but may pay for part of Post Hospital Stay costs.

STEP FOUR Managing Your Transition You’ve determined care needs, found the right facility and/or service and have the financial plan in place. You’re ready for the next move. THE EMOTIONAL TRANSITION As with any good story, you need to finish each chapter before beginning the next. It’s important to recognize the range of emotions that may come with entering this new phase in life. Within each service level, we have dedicated staff to support you during and after an aging event. THE INTELLECTUAL TRANSITION It’s natural and expected for the person(s) transitioning to have many questions about their situation. Preparing a list of those questions for staff and getting answers can alleviate much of the uncertainty. Recommended reading: “Being Mortal,” by Atul Gawande. THE PHYSICAL TRANSITION Whether at home or in a facility, there are physical realities to the aging process. Making changes to improve safety in your own home or planning a successful move are just some of the things we can help with. Need advice on next steps?
